The prevalence of tinnitus in military veterans is notably higher than the non-veteran population and can significantly disrupt the lives of veterans. Given the profound impact of tinnitus on the lives of veterans, along with the considerable economic burden and barriers to treatment, it is crucial to explore the feasibility of new approaches. Wearable sound technologies offer a non-invasive and easily accessible approach. As such, this waitlist-controlled trial aims to assess the efficacy of this new non-invasive white noise wearable device in reducing tinnitus symptoms between baseline and the one-month post-randomisation among veterans who have experienced tinnitus for at least three months.
