Every study, trial, and device Tinnitus Monthly has covered, with the source it came from. Search by topic, treatment, country, journal, or trial number.
A free, eight-minute listening practice you can do on the page: calm music, a brief moment of noticing your tinnitus, then a soft sound to help you let it go. What it is, how to do it, what to expect, and a one-question weekly check-in.
Tinnitus is invisible in the medical sense — your doctor knows you have it because you told him. It is also invisible socially, and that is the part that shapes a life. On the loneliness that does not require being alone, why withdrawing appears to make the sound worse, and what can be done about the loop.

Two small 2017 studies suggested intranasal oxytocin might reduce tinnitus distress. The confirmatory trial at NYU Langone enrolled 33 people, was terminated when the principal investigator left the institution, and reported no data at all. Nine years on there is still no replication — unproven, which is not the same as disproven.
