They are doing a Tinnitus Clinical Trial. Sounds promising, it deals with putting a device that stimulates your vagus nerve.**

Yes it's called vagus nerve stimulation. Also check autifony, AM101 and acoustic neuro modulation...all 3 are very promising and successful in phase1 trials except autifony which is not tried on humans yet(but that drug vanished tinnitus in rats) I think we have something to look forward to in future for tinnitus. We already have partially working treatments like TRT, CBT. Various anxiety and depression drugs, neuromonics, loads of other alternative therapies, etc..I bet we will have a reliable working treatment for all in next 7 years

I would love for someone to have an answer for this. I do have neurosensural hearing loss, which the ENT said is causing. Apparently my brain is making up a noise that it no longer hears???
I was prescribed hearing aides, however, at $3000 and not working, insurance will not pay for....who knows if it will work for me. I do know there are more days than not, I would like to jam a pencil in my ears |

Hi PCSjourney, I am sorry for your troubles. Please be aware that hearing aids do not work for all in reducing the impact of tinnitus. However there is no harm in trying them once at your audiologist's center and see if it helps you. I am not sure but I read somewhere that hearing aids work best for tinnitus when you have a hearing loss in the range of 4k-5k. All the best.

**Where is the trial being done and when. is it open to participants. Just wondering so we can either follow it or I would join it. Pulsatile tinnitus is driving me nuts. I knew I had a fast heartbeat hearing it all the time doesn't help. I am going to reread all your posts and thanks for posting them
