There is also 10+ years research for tinnitus using Vagus Nerve Stimulation to stop it [1]. Results seem mixed. Many other drugs/neuro-stimuli for T have gotten mixed results and passed clinical trials such as Leniere only to flop in actual usage. It's interesting that the community anecdotal evidence such as r/tinnitus and TinnitusTalk are so useful for these cases because they are more likely to report negative results at the post-approval stage.

I’ve got tinnitus and can’t really foresee any kind of solution. Not sure what the vagus nerve would do given the ears go straight in to the brain. Hopefully one day though, I’ve learned to live with it for the time being.
