This is a four arm, patient subtyping and parameter optimisation study for a neuromodulation treatment for tinnitus.
Participants with chronic tinnitus will be provided with a CE marked neuromodulation device. Participants are randomized to one of four different treatment arms. The treatment period is intended for 12 weeks of use. Based on the clinical investigation plan, participants are informed that their stimulation settings can change between the first and second halves of the treatment period and that the differences may be perceptually noticeable. Differences in tinnitus severity scores will be compared between and within treatment arms.
