(the stimulator is placed in your upper chest and the lead is placed on the vagus nerve in your neck) \u00a0All study participants will be implanted with the Serenity System. During the first 6 weeks, study participants will be randomly divided into two groups: one group will receive the test therapy that is potentially effective, while the other group will receive a very similar therapy that is not expected to be effective \u2013 but both groups will hear tones and receive some stimulation. The study is \u201cdouble blinded,\u201d that is, neither the audiologist nor the participant will know which group they are in. This approach helps the study to be as accurate as possible and is considered the gold standard for testing the effectiveness of health care interventions. After the initial 6-week period, all study participants will receive the potentially effective (test) version of the therapy.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the therapy, click on button below.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinnitustrial.com\/?page_id=100 \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-82\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tinnitustrial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/vnsfortinnitus.png\" alt=\"vnsfortinnitus\" width=\"195\" height=\"37\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IF YOU \u00a0WOULD LIKE TO BE PLACED ON OUR TINNITUS UPDATE LIST TO GET UPDATES ON U.S. TRIALS OR FUTURE EUROPEAN SALES \u00a0&#8211; PLEASE CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveygizmo.com\/s3\/1496827\/Tinnitus-Update-List-TinnitusTrialWebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tinnitustrial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Tinnitus-Update-List.png\" alt=\"Tinnitus Update List\" width=\"239\" height=\"39\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Disclaimer:\u00a0The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders or the National Institutes of Health.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome, This is an informational page for a U.S. clinical trial for the treatment of tinnitus. \u00a0The trial is using a new therapy developed by\u00a0MicroTransponder\u00a0(www.microtransponder.com).
