First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested whether combining a gentle electrical current on the scalp with white noise can temporarily reduce the loudness and distress of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 35 adults with chronic tinnitus received either the real treatment or a fake version. The goal was to see if this safe, non-invasive approach could offer short-term relief and help retrain the brain.
