Singing away the ring: new training aims to silence tinnitus without drugs

NCT ID NCT06880367

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a 5-week audio-proprio-phonatory training program can reduce the daily-life disability caused by chronic tinnitus. 56 adults with tinnitus will either receive the training or not, and researchers will use brain wave recordings (EEG) and questionnaires to measure changes. The training involves group workshops and self-led exercises where patients use their own voice to mask or inhibit the ringing in their ears.
