What this Trial Is About
This study is testing whether a special type of brain stimulation called neuronavigated TMS can help reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 50 people with tinnitus will each receive 20 treatment sessions - 10 real treatments and 10 sham treatments in random order, with a 2-week break between them. Before starting, participants get an MRI brain scan to guide where the stimulation device is placed. Questionnaires of measuring tinnitus severity will be asked four times throughout the study to determine to check the effect of TMS on treating tinnitus.
