Can online therapy or mindfulness quiet the ringing in your ears?
NCT ID NCT05705323
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two online programs—cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness—to help adults cope with the distress caused by tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 67 participants were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments or a waiting list. The goal was to see if these internet-delivered approaches could reduce tinnitus-related stress and improve emotional well-being.
