ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help people with tinnitus, a condition that causes ringing or buzzing in the ears. Researchers are testing a mobile application that offers personalized sound therapy to manage tinnitus. The app aims to make it easier for people to access treatment, track their progress, and receive support, all from their smartphones. By integrating sound therapy, relaxation exercises, and educational resources into one platform, the study hopes to improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic tinnitus.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult who has experienced tinnitus for more than six months, and it should be affecting your daily life in some way. You must also have a smartphone that runs on Android or iOS. Unfortunately, people with certain conditions, like severe hearing loss or those who can't use the app for other reasons, won't be eligible. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but if you qualify, you can expect to engage with the app regularly and receive personalized feedback as part of your treatment.
