A cell phone app that combines whitenoise, active game-based therapy, and counseling could help 'rewire' the brain to provide relief from tinnitus symptoms, new research suggests.
For the current study, participants with tinnitus were randomly assigned to a popular app that uses white noise or to the UpSilent app .
Participants in the control group received a widely available app called"White Noise" and in-ear wired headphones.Both groups reported reductions in ratings of annoyance, ability to ignore, unpleasantness, and loudness at 12 weeks. But significantly more of the UpSilent group reported clinically meaningful improvement compared with the control group .
"This is quicker and more effective, taking 12 weeks rather than 12 months for more individuals to gain some control," he added.
