Somatosensory Tinnitus RCT

Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about a type of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) known as "somatosensory tinnitus." This type of tinnitus is suspected when the tinnitus perception changes following head and/or neck movements. This study is also exploring a possible way to treat somatosensory tinnitus.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to: (1) develop a screening tool for somatosensory tinnitus and (2) perform a randomized clinical trial comparing different treatment approaches for somatosensory tinnitus. The investigators want to find out if individualized physical therapy, alone or in combination with audiology-based sound therapy, is beneficial for treating somatosensory tinnitus.
