Tinnitus, the perception of sound without external stimuli, affects 14% of the global population, posing a significant public health concern. This predominantly subjective condition often leads to psychological and physical distress, including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. As tinnitus prevalence rises due to aging populations and increased noise exposure, the need for effective treatments grows urgent. Current approaches include pharmacological interventions, sound therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with CBT recognized as most effective for addressing psychological distress. However, traditional therapies face accessibility barriers such as frequent in-person sessions and high costs. Digital therapeutics, particularly mobile applications, offer promising solutions by providing scalable, accessible interventions. These allow patients to engage in therapy conveniently, accessing real-time, personalized content. Despite advancements, research on digital therapeutics combining CBT and sound therapy for tinnitus remains limited. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the clinical efficacy of a mobile application delivering personalized CBT and sound stimulation compared to conventional CBT, potentially contributing to more accessible and effective tinnitus treatment options.
