NCT ID NCT06782308
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study surveys 500 adults with chronic tinnitus to understand their preferences about a future brain implant that could ease their symptoms. Participants answer questions about their willingness to undergo surgery, accept risks, and pay for such a device. The results will help guide the development of a minimally invasive implant by Neurosoft Bioelectronics.
