Vagus nerve stimulation for tinnitus: A review and perspective

In conclusion, although the potential to use VNS to drive neural plasticity to reduce or eliminate the neural drivers of ongoing tinnitus is exciting, much work is needed to more completely understand the neural basis of tinnitus and to develop tailored therapies to address the suffering caused by this heterogeneous condition. Whether pairing of the vagus stimulation with non-tinnitus or tinnitus-matched sounds is essential is still to be determined.PMID:33931191 | DOI:10.1016/bs.pbr.2020.08.011
