{"title":"Role of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in alleviation of tinnitus in normal hearing subjects.","authors":"Maha Abdelgaber A Aly, Enas Mostafa O Ramadan, Amira Mohammad Eloseily","doi":"10.1007/s00405-024-09182-y","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s00405-024-09182-y","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Subjective tinnitus is characterized by perception of sound in the absence of any external or internal acoustic stimuli. Many approaches have been developed over the years to treat tinnitus (medical and nonmedical). However, no consensus has been reached on the optimal therapeutic approach. Electrical nerve stimulation targeting peripheral auditory pathways presents a promising area of investigation for the treatment of tinnitus. Non-invasive transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve has been introduced and studied but its success rate varies and conflicting results have been reported.
