Both conditions can significantly reduce quality of life and are linked to poorer mental health and employment challenges. Each year, tinnitus alone accounts for more than one million GP appointments, and patients referred to hospital ear, nose and throat (ENT) services often face long delays, sometimes exceeding a year, before their first assessment.\n\nTo address this demand, the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust has developed a virtual ENT clinic. Patients undergo a validated hearing test in person and complete online questionnaires. Clinicians then review these data to determine next steps, which may include discharge with advice, referral for imaging, or a face-to-face consultation. Initial trials demonstrated that the majority of patients could be managed virtually, substantially reducing waiting times. However, clinicians must still review every case, limiting capacity for patients who require direct care.\n\nThis project builds on the virtual clinic by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to support the assessment process. Using explainable AI methods, the system will be trained to replicate clinician-level decision-making while providing transparent reasoning for its recommendations. The study will evaluate how closely AI-generated outcomes align with clinician assessments, with all cases continuing to receive a clinician's final review. Clinicians will not be aware of the recommendations produced by the AI tool, but the study aims to measure how concordant AI recommendations are with clinician assessments.\n\nIf the AI tool's clinical recommendations closely align with clinician recommendations (the gold standard for care), the AI tool could be introduced as a clinical recommendation assistant tool, streamlining the triage and management of hearing loss and tinnitus, enabling clinicians to focus on complex cases, accelerating access to care, and improving efficiency.",[224,28],"Hearing Loss, Adult-Onset",[226,191,28,227,228,229,230,231,232],"Artificial Intelligence","Clinical Decision Support Systems","Computerized","Telemedicine","Otolaryngology","Patient Satisfaction","Feasibility Studies","2026-05-07",{"date":235,"type":40},"2026-05-14",{"date":237,"type":22},"2026-05-30",{"date":239,"type":22},"2027-08-31",{"name":241,"class":47},"Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust",{"id":243,"slug":244,"hasResults":12,"nctId":245,"briefTitle":246,"officialTitle":247,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":248,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":249,"enrollmentInfo":250,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":252,"briefSummary":253,"conditions":254,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":255,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":256,"startDateStruct":257,"completionDateStruct":259,"leadSponsor":261,"locationsCount":126},"100635911","fudan-tinnitus-doctor-for-tinnitus-management-100635911","NCT07558837","Fudan Tinnitus Doctor for Tinnitus Management","A Multi-agent Large Language Model Conversational AI for Tinnitus Management: The Fudan Tinnitus Doctor Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Treatment options are limited and do not address tinnitus directly (e.g., reduce its loudness). To do that, we must change brain activity causing tinnitus. Low-dose electrical stimulation, using a technique called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), is a promising approach. The technique is safe and easy to administer. Several small studies have tested tDCS for tinnitus showing some benefits.\n\nTo assess whether these benefits will generalise to other patients, we need to conduct a randomised controlled trial - a large, rigorously controlled experiment based on prior agreed procedures. Clinical trials are expensive and time-consuming to run and thus require meticulous pilot work to establish the most effective treatment regimens and the most sensitive measures of treatment outcome. The current study aims to provide such pilot information for a clinical trial of tDCS treatment of tinnitus. Using a total of 40 patients, we will establish how to best to administer tDCS and measure resulting changes in tinnitus perception and associated brain activity.\n\nThe current study is a crucial first step towards determining whether or not tDCS can effectively treat tinnitus.",[28],[67,478,479,480],"brain stimulation","neuromodulation","transcranial direct current stimulation","2026-02-09",{"date":483,"type":40},"2026-02-12",{"date":485,"type":40},"2024-12-01",{"date":487,"type":22},"2026-09",{"name":489,"class":47},"University of Nottingham",{"id":491,"slug":492,"hasResults":12,"nctId":493,"briefTitle":494,"officialTitle":495,"acronym":496,"eligibilityCriteria":497,"healthyVolunteers":133,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":249,"enrollmentInfo":498,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":499,"briefSummary":500,"conditions":501,"keywords":503,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":512,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":513,"startDateStruct":515,"completionDateStruct":517,"leadSponsor":518,"locationsCount":126},"100571299","tinnitus-and-treatment-with-umpea-lut-100571299","NCT06718452","Tinnitus and Treatment With umPEA-LUT","Treatment of Tinnitus Targeting Neuroinflammation. umPEALUT as Possible Option","TiniPEA","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n\\- Patients with tinnitus not under treatment at least for 30 days\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Stroke in the last year\n* Uncontrolled diabetes,\n* Uncontrolled hypertension,\n* Severe psychiatric disorders,\n* Severe cognitive decline,\n* Previous surgery of the brain or audio-vestibular nerves",{"count":135,"type":22},[25],"Tinnitus can have different causes. From a peripheral point of view, the sensation of hearing a not present sound can be indicative of damage in the cells of the cochlea. Damage at this level can arise from traumatic, vascular, toxic origins or be caused by systemic pathologies. However, all the previous causes have a common denominator, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in the cochlea which determines the damage and the consequent death of the hair cells into the ear. The sound (tinnitus) that the patient perceives is generated by the spontaneous movement of the cilia of the hair cells; this phenomenon arises when these cells begin to be damaged.\n\nTinnitus can be also caused by a retrocochlear disorder such as damage of the auditory nerve (inflammatory and tumor cause). In case of an inflammatory origin, the factors released during inflammation can locally damage the nerves and spread into the cochlea destroying the hair cells.\n\nTinnitus can also originate from damage in the central auditory pathway. In this case, the problem persistent. It is important to keep in mind that although initially the tinnitus may originate from a damage inside the cochlea, after 6 months of persistence chronicizes causing an activation (without stimulus) of the upper auditory areas. This zone of \"hypersensitivity\" is therefore responsible for chronic tinnitus.\n\nIn addition to the overmentioned medical causes, tinnitus can also be sign of psychiatric\u002Fpsychological disorders, in those cases in whom there is an involvement of the hypothalamus, as showed by neuropsychological studies. Tinnitus can be temporary and disappear spontaneously or, in the most of cases, be persistent and extremely annoying\u002Fstressful for the patient. At night in particular, in the absence of noise, the patient suffers more the presence of this ghost sound, which in some occasions prevents sleep. Insomnia negatively impacts on tinnitus increasing its duration and intensity, thus establishing a perpetual cycle of stress into the brain. The latter phenomenon worses and chronicizes the symptom .\n\nStress causes inflammation with ROS increase, which can affect both the peripheral and central auditory pathways. Recently, it has been shown that tinnitus can be a symptom of neuro-inflammatory pathologies such as, for example, Multiple Sclerosis.\n\nThe effects of inflammation on the hair cells are identifiable only through electrophysiological studies or from the temporal bone.\n\nKeeping on mind inflammation and neuro-inflammation and considering the exchange between cerebrospinal fluid and perilymph , we speculate that the use of a molecule capable of reducing inflammation and modulating the action of mast cells and microglia, could be an effective tool to resolve tinnitus; moreover, thanks to its powerful action at the level of neuro-inflammation, it could reduce the hyper-activity in the upper auditory tracts, thus reducing\u002Fabolishing noise.\n\numPeaLut combines palmitoylethanolamide, which modulates the activity of mast cells, macrophages and microglia and luteolin, a bioflanoid extracted from fruits with anti-oxidant properties, able to improve microcirculation. Because the alterations of the ear microcirculation can be an additional cause of tinnitus, we believe that luteolin content can be an ulterior benefit.\n\nAlthough various attempts have been made to use a mono-molecule, recent studies have shown that combination of several elements could reduce tinnitus ; PeaLut, in its ultra-micronized form with high bioavailability, could be the perfect solution.\n\nThis study aims at evaluating the efficacy of umPEALUT as a therapeutic treatment of tinnitus in a sample of adults.",[28,502],"Neuroinflammation",[28,502,504,505,506,507,508,509,510,511],"Palmitoyetanolamide","Luteolin","Ultramicronized","Vascular","Central","Peripheral","Auditory cortex","Inner ear","2026-02-03",{"date":514,"type":40},"2026-02-06",{"date":516,"type":22},"2026-04-20",{"date":342,"type":22},{"name":519,"class":47},"University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli",{"id":521,"slug":522,"hasResults":12,"nctId":523,"briefTitle":524,"officialTitle":525,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":526,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":527,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":528,"briefSummary":529,"conditions":530,"keywords":531,"overallStatus":139,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":541,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":542,"startDateStruct":544,"completionDateStruct":546,"leadSponsor":548,"locationsCount":126},"100598437","noninvasive-therapy-for-tinnitus-100598437","NCT07071480","Noninvasive Therapy for Tinnitus","Noninvasive Therapeutic Hypothermia for Tinnitus","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the consent form\n* Fluency in English or Spanish\n* Chronic subjective tinnitus for more than 30 days defined as audible at least 75% of waking hours\n* At least mild tinnitus, score ≥18 on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe anxiety, score ≥ 15 on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)\n* Tinnitus described as non-auditory or pulsatile in nature\n* Catastrophic tinnitus, score ≥78 on the THI\n* Tinnitus that is intermittent in nature\n* Abnormal tympanometric findings\n* Presence of conductive component as characterized by air-bone gaps ≥15 dB at two or more consecutive frequencies\n* Otologic pathologies (including, but not limited to): acoustic neuroma\u002F vestibular schwannoma, chronic ear disease, Meniere's disease, documented fluctuating hearing loss, or ototoxicity\n* Temporomandibular joint disorder\n* Those who are currently receiving medical, pharmacologic, or therapeutic intervention for tinnitus or other otologic conditions.\n* Active hearing aid use\n* Dizziness at the time of signing the consent form or at the time of starting the study protocol treatment\n* Adults unable to consent\n* Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers)\n* Pregnant women\n* Prisoners",{"count":473,"type":22},[25],"The goal of this interventional clinical study is to establish mild therapeutic hypothermia, delivered non-invasively to the structures of the inner ear, as a safe and repeatable therapeutic method for symptomatic relief of tinnitus.

Researchers will compare results from those receiving therapy to those from a control group.",[28,359],[67,533,659,538,660,661],"ringing ears","cooling","red light therapy","2025-09-10",{"date":639,"type":40},{"date":665,"type":40},"2025-07-16",{"date":667,"type":22},"2026-12-01",{"name":549,"class":174},{"id":670,"slug":671,"hasResults":12,"nctId":672,"briefTitle":673,"officialTitle":674,"acronym":675,"eligibilityCriteria":676,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":677,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":678,"briefSummary":679,"conditions":680,"keywords":682,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":687,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":688,"startDateStruct":690,"completionDateStruct":692,"leadSponsor":694,"locationsCount":4},"100602783","in-this-study-we-are-testing-whether-combining-two-interventions-in-the-early-stages-of-tinnitus-is-more-effective-in-quieting-tinnitus-than-using-one-treatment-alone-in-the-later-stages-of-tinnitus-100602783","NCT07128004","In This Study, we Are Testing Whether Combining Two Interventions, in the Early Stages of Tinnitus, is More Effective in Quieting Tinnitus Than Using One Treatment Alone in the Later Stages of Tinnitus","Effect of Combined Acoustic Ripples and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on the Symptoms of New-Onset Subjective Tinnitus","ATtDCS","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* The presence of tinnitus (persistent sound heard in one or both ears that is not coming from an external sound source or actual sounds being generated inside your body such as turbulent blood flow), which has persisted for at least 3 days, and began within the last 8 weeks. You do not need to be aware of the tinnitus all the time, but it must be persistent in the sense that is can always hear it if you listen out for it, and there is not enough other sounds around to mask it.\n* Age 18 or over\n* The ability to make and communicate an informed choice about whether to take part in the study\n* The ability to sit still and comfortably in a comfortable chair for around 1 hour at a time.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Tinnitus due to a physical sound source in the body, such as turbulent blood flow or muscle contractions in the middle ear.\n* Presence of tinnitus over a period of 8 weeks\n* Severe or profound hearing loss at high frequencies in the tinnitus ear(s), such that you could not properly hear the sounds used in the study\n* Any implanted electronic device, such as a pacemaker, cochlear implant, bone-anchored hearing aid, nerve stimulator, deep brain stimulator or spinal cord stimulator\n* Any areas of broken skin on the parts of the scalp where tDCS is applied\n* Ménière's disease\n* Any abnormality of brain structure (e.g. stroke, tumour), or other neurological disorder (e.g. multiple sclerosis or epilepsy)\n* The ongoing use of sedating medications, or certain other nerve- or brain-acting medications\n* A current mental health condition of sufficient severity to prevent certain activities of everyday life\n\nIn addition to these criteria, the researcher might have other reasons to suspect that participation is either contraindicated, or might be unsuitable. In such cases, the researcher should discuss these concerns with the potential participant and\u002For a senior member of the research team.

This is performed in Newcastle University Medical School for a total of 8 sessions of 40 minutes each, spread over 4 weeks\n* Half the volunteers will receive the 'real' intervention, and half a 'sham' or 'placebo' version. This will be randomly determined, and the volunteers or the research team will not known which you are receiving until the end of the study\n* When the study ends, all volunteers will be able to use the 'real' intervention sounds in their own time, for as long as they wish, if they want to do so. No volunteers will be able to receive tDCS after the end of the study.\n* All volunteers also complete questionnaires about their tinnitus, related symptoms and general health, and have hearing tests plus EEG (electrical brainwave) recordings\n* The study is very low-risk, but does involve a total of 10 visits of around an hour each to Newcastle University Medical School over around a month. These can be arranged flexibly, including daytimes, evenings and weekends\n* The researchers will pay all reasonable travel expenses, and £10 per hour for the volunteer's time in participating\n* The study only completely ends 6 months after the date the tinnitus first started. At this point, the researchers will send some questionnaires to complete only. There is nothing to do for the study in between the tenth visit and this six-month questionnaire.",[28,681],"Acute",[683,684,685,686],"Acute Tinnitus","Treatment","Sound therapy","tDCS","2025-08-13",{"date":689,"type":40},"2025-08-17",{"date":691,"type":22},"2025-08-05",{"date":693,"type":22},"2027-03-09",{"name":695,"class":47},"Newcastle University"]
