Summary

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is used to modulate the auditory neural pathways caused by hearing loss and leading to the phantom auditory perception of sound in the absence of an external or internal acoustic stimulus.

Conditions

  • Tinnitus

Interventions

DEVICE

rTMS - Intervention 1

Experimental repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Alpine Biomed Mag Pro Option): 2000 stimuli of 20Hz rTMS over the left DLPFC (110% motor threshold) followed by 2000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over the left temporal cortex DLPFC (110% motor threshold)

DEVICE

rTMS - Intervention 2

Experimental repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Alpine Biomed Mag Pro Option): 2000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over the left temporal cortex DLPFC (110% motor threshold)
