Interventions
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
TDCS is a procedure that sends weak electrical currents between points on the scalp. Some of this current flows through the brain, and may induce temporary changes in brain activity lasting 30-60 minutes beyond the time of stimulation. TDCS is believed to be very low risk. TDCS has been applied in more than 4900 studies and hundreds of people to treat various neurological and psychiatric conditions, including depression, epilepsy, chronic pain and Parkinson's. In this study we will use tDCS to suppress symptom of tinnitus and hyperacusis.
Sham TDCS
Sham control will be administered to the same area as active TDCS
