Zapping the ear to silence the ringing: new implant hope for tinnitus

NCT ID NCT03759834

Summary

This Mayo Clinic study tested whether a small electrical stimulation to a part of the inner ear could provide short-term relief from severe, disruptive tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The 25 participants had severe, one-sided tinnitus that other treatments hadn't helped. The research aimed to find the best spot and settings for stimulation to guide the future development of a potential long-term implantable device.
