TINIS (Tinnitus Implant System)
Cochlear implant stimulating the auditory nerve
Evidence level
No primary evidence catalogued yet
How it works
A surgically implanted device that directly stimulates the auditory nerve, aiming to relieve severe tinnitus by restoring patterned input to a deprived auditory system, the same 'restore the missing input' logic behind why cochlear implants often reduce tinnitus. Very early-stage feasibility work, with no efficacy data yet.
This describes the treatment concept as reported in the cited research: a scientific mechanism, not a guarantee of clinical availability.
