First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested a device that gently stimulates the ear to see if it can reduce the bother of chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 40 adults with moderate to severe tinnitus were randomly assigned to use either the active device or a sham (fake) device for 8 weeks. Both groups also took part in online mindfulness-based stress reduction classes. The main goal was to see if the active device led to a meaningful drop in tinnitus severity compared to the sham group.
