flag A new sound therapy reduced tinnitus symptoms by 10% in a trial, offering a potential low-cost, accessible management option.

flag A new sound therapy developed by Newcastle University and RNID shows promise in reducing tinnitus, with a trial of 77 people reporting a 10% average reduction in symptoms after listening to modified synthetic musical notes for two six-week periods. flag The therapy, which disrupts abnormal brain activity in the auditory pathway linked to tinnitus, produced effects lasting up to three weeks post-treatment. flag Researchers believe it could eventually be delivered via smartphone apps or websites, integrating into everyday listening habits like music or podcasts without special equipment or medical supervision. flag While not a cure, the approach offers a low-barrier, scalable option for managing a condition affecting about one in eight adults and up to one in four older individuals. flag Further research is needed.
