TMS FOR TINNITUS
Chronic tinnitus can significantly affect sleep, concentration, mood, anxiety, and quality of life. Because tinnitus can have many causes, appropriate medical and audiologic evaluation should come before consideration of TMS.
For selected patients with persistent, bothersome tinnitus, CNY Psychiatry offers off-label rTMS.
Research evaluating TMS for tinnitus has produced mixed results. Some patients may experience benefit, but treatment remains investigational and response cannot be predicted.
We believe patients considering TMS for tinnitus deserve a straightforward discussion of both the potential benefits and the limitations of the evidence.
