First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested a short-term electrical stimulation on the inner ear to see if it could safely and effectively reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in 25 adults with severe, disruptive tinnitus. The goal was to find the best spot for stimulation to help design a future implantable device for long-term relief. The study focused on temporary symptom relief, not a cure.
