Tinnitus treatments
We check tinnitus treatments to see if they are safe and effective for those living with tinnitus
Here we provide a regularly updated list of treatments and gives our verdict on them.
We provide verdicts on two aspects of each treatment:
Safety - whether the treatment will do you any harm
- Evidence of harm
- Some potential for harm
- Limited potential for harm
- Regarded as safe
Efficacy - whether the treatment works for tinnitus
- Evidence that it is not effective
- No or limited evidence that it is effective
- Some evidence that it is effective
- Evidence that it is effective
If you hear of a treatment that isn’t listed here, please call the Helpline 0800 018 0527 or send an email to: communications@tinnitus.org.uk
