Mechanism

Published randomized pilot study testing customized compensatory auditory stimulation, high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, their combination, and sham stimulation for acute tinnitus-perception changes. The tDCS hardware/software was supplied by Soterix Medical, but the CAS and CAS+tDCS arms are protocol conditions rather than separate commercial products.

Indications
Notes

Verified as a completed Soterix-sponsored pilot study, not as a marketed tinnitus product. ClinicalTrials.gov and the publication describe one randomized crossover pilot with CAS, HD-tDCS, combined CAS+HD-tDCS, and sham conditions. The protocol arms should remain collapsed into this study-level record.
