Satisfaction and usability assessment of a take-home device for tinnitus
Status: Recruiting
This study is about assessing compliance, satisfaction, and usability of a take-home device for tinnitus management, specifically a bimodal neuromodulation device using customized acoustic stimulation paired with electrical ear stimulation. This study also examines whether integrative health (IH) practices – such as deep breathing – paired with bimodal neuromodulation can enhance long-term plasticity of the brain and reduce stress.
