Summary
This trial is testing a new method that uses electrical pulses on a part of the ear to help people who suffer from constant ringing in their ears. The goal is to see if this can provide short-term relief and to find the best way to use this method for long-term treatment.

Trial Design
1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Testing ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
There will only be one arm. The patient and investigator will initially be blinded to the "on-off" status of the electrode. The patient will thus serve as an internal control for testing. Once device integrity and possible benefit is confirmed, the patients will undergo non-tactile electrical stimulation to the bone of the inner ear (cochlear promontory) for short term relief of tinnitus via Cochlear promontory stimulation.
