The five-minute estimate covers only the first enquiry. If you join, screening, hearing tests, MRI and an intravenous infusion require substantial clinic time; some study visits may take several hours. Ask about the schedule and medical requirements before deciding.

Important to know. The registry lists English-speaking adults aged 18+ in defined hearing/tinnitus groups, including a control group without tinnitus. This is an in-person Boston study involving intravenous medication, MRI and medical screening. Only the study team can assess eligibility and explain risks, costs and consent. An enquiry is not enrolment, and no personal benefit is promised. Tinnitus Action is independent and does not receive your enquiry or health information.

About this opportunity
Purpose
Researchers are examining brain activity before and after intravenous lidocaine to investigate neural networks involved in tinnitus and temporary changes in tinnitus perception.
How this was verified

Checked against the current official trial-registry record

We checked this against the current official trial-registry record and link to it below. That is our check, not their endorsement.

Review this study and contact the team if it looks relevant to you. Only the study team decides who can take part — we make no judgement about that, and we never ask you anything about your health.

Pause for editorial review if recruitment closes, the study contact no longer accepts enquiries, or the participation route becomes unavailable.
