Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for reducing the loudness or severity of chronic tinnitus.

Conditions

  • Tinnitus

Interventions

DEVICE

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

rTMS involves application of electromagnetic pulses through a coil to the subject's scalp. Some of the electromagnetic energy is transmitted to underlying neural tissue. The goal for this study: 1 Hz rTMS will suppress neural activity responsible for tinnitus perception.

DEVICE
