Transcranial electrical and acoustic stimulation for tinnitus
Funded by the Zürcher Stiftung für das Hören
Background
Tinnitus is associated with abnormal neuronal activity. Neuromodulation, a novel treatment, aims to modify this activity. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) has shown promise as a treatment. Recent studies suggest that combining different stimulation techniques, such as tRNS with acoustic stimulation (AS), may enhance tinnitus reduction. This project aims to investigate whether simultaneous tRNS and AS can improve tinnitus loudness and distress.
