Antinitus – Clinical studies

For regulatory and development technological reasons, we continuously work with follow-ups as well as clinical studies carried out by specialised medical doctors. We do this to ensure that the safety and efficacy of our patches meet our expectations and the requirements for medical devices.

We are determined to continue our research and further studies to help people suffering from tinnitus. In this regard, we intend to allocate further finance from the proceeds of Antinitus sales towards new innovations and technologies in the field of tinnitus treatment.

Conclusions of tinnitus research in general

– The intention of the Antinitus treatment is to provide long-term relief from tinnitus or even permanently, but the result is highly individual and can vary a great deal.

– Tinnitus affects a significant proportion of the population and is a global problem.

– For some, tinnitus is a strong burden to carry with high negative impact on their quality of life.

– Even a slight alleviation in tinnitus is of value for the affected one, and it is only he or she who could determine and value this ease.

– Tinnitus is a difficult to treat and there is currently no universal cure.

– Treatments used today are expensive, time consuming, some with harmful side effects, and all with lack of clear scientific evidence.

– Treatments of today is mostly given to rather severe cases and with often long lead time before initiation. People with mild to moderate tinnitus have few treatment options.

– As tinnitus largely is subjective it is also a challenge to find objective methods of measuring improvements, and there are very few studies previously reported in literature that could be of guidance.
