ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can help older adults who have both metabolic syndrome and tinnitus. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems, and tinnitus is a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears that can be bothersome. The goal of the study is to see if losing weight and improving overall health can reduce the symptoms of tinnitus and the effects of metabolic syndrome in older adults.
To participate, individuals must be 65 years or older, have obesity (specifically class one obesity), and have been experiencing tinnitus for more than six months. Both men and women are welcome to join. However, those with serious health issues related to the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, or nervous system will not be eligible. Participants can expect to engage in a supportive program focused on lifestyle changes that could lead to better health outcomes. The trial is currently recruiting, so there are opportunities for eligible individuals to take part in this important research.
