Clinical Investigation on the Acoustic Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Tinnitus

l Prospective Clinical Investigation on the Acoustic Stimulation With the "Coordinated Reset of Neural Subpopulations" in the Treatment of Chronic Tinnitus

There are many treatments for chronic tinnitus that have been claimed, with varying degrees of statistical reliability. None of those treatments can eradicate the tinnitus completely. Some therapies can reduce the tinnitus symptoms (loudness, annoyance) up to 30%. Thus there is still a need of new treatments that can reduce considerably the tinnitus symptoms and improve the QOL of subjects.
