    Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) affects 10–27 cases per 100,000 people annually, often accompanied by distressing tinnitus.

  • 2

    Current ISSHL management primarily involves systemic steroids, which show limited efficacy in alleviating acute tinnitus.

  • 3

    Personalized acoustic therapy (AT) offers a novel approach to managing ISSHL-related tinnitus, integrating peripheral and central modulation techniques.

  • 4

    A multi-center randomized controlled trial is assessing the effectiveness of standard care with and without personalized AT for ISSHL-related tinnitus.

  • 5

    The trial involves 19 clinical centers and aims to provide evidence for improving treatment outcomes in patients with ISSHL and concurrent tinnitus.
