Clinical Trials for
Recently Developed Tinnitus

Got ringing in your ears? Just started?

We're launching a clinical trial that combines electrical and sound stimulation to explore new ways to manage tinnitus in those who have recently developed it.​

​​​

Who can join?

• Recently developed tinnitus: present for at least 3 days, but started within the last 8 weeks;

• Aged 18 or over;

• Preferably living in the North East of England, and can commute to Newcastle University;

• No previous participation in tinnitus trials.

What will I do?

• The study involves 10 visits, spaced over a period of 1 month, to Newcastle University Medical School.​

• The visits will involve electrical and sound stimulation sessions, and some electroencephalography recordings to measure your brain activity in response to the treatment.

• After 6 months, you can receive free customised sound therapy tailored to your hearing profile.

​​​

​Where does the study take place?

The study takes place in the Clinical Sensory Cognition Laboratory at Newcastle University Medical School, which is on Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4HH.

The meeting point is the Medical School Main Reception, at the Medical School entrance.

 

Note: If you’ve had tinnitus for a long time (>8 weeks), you're not eligible — but you're welcome to refer others or visit the chronic tinnitus pages on our website.
