Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) has long been a problem for Veterans. The problem continues to escalate due to high levels of noise in the military, and because tinnitus often is associated with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. In spite of limited research support, sound-based (acoustic) therapies are most often used for tinnitus intervention, and increasing numbers of commercial devices are becoming available that offer various acoustic-stimulus protocols. The proposed study will provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial comparing effects of acoustic-stimulus methods that are purported to suppress tinnitus and/or reduce its functional effects. The study will focus on methods with the strongest scientific rationale, i.e., noise that is notched around the predominant tinnitus-frequency region. Special ear-level devices will deliver these acoustic-therapy protocols that are purported to modify tinnitus-related neural activity. The study will follow a study recently completed by the applicant that provides preliminary evidence supporting this method.
