🔔 Promising news for people living with tinnitus!
A new study has found that deep brain stimulation (DBS), a procedure typically used for Parkinson’s disease, may have potential as a treatment option for people with severe—even treatment-resistant—tinnitus.
📊 In the early clinical trial, 3 out of 4 patients experienced reduced tinnitus symptoms one year after surgery, with no lasting side effects.
Researchers targeted a tiny area of the brain which processes sound, using a precisely placed electrode to adjust neural activity. Research is still in its early stages, but it offers a promising glimpse into what may become another treatment option for millions who struggle with chronic tinnitus.
🦻 Advanced Specialty Care's Doctors of Audiology stay up-to-date on current treatment options and emerging research like this. While DBS is not yet a standard treatment, today's solutions, such as sound therapy, remain highly effective for most people.
If you're struggling with ringing/buzzing/humming in your ears, you don't have to wait for future advancements to start feeling better now!
