Tinnitus Survey - for MicroTransponder

Tinnitus Survey

MicroTransponder is developing neurostimulation therapy that will retrain the brain so patients no longer perceive constant ringing in their ears. This is being done by stimulating the vagus nerve in the neck which then directs the brain to release specific neuromodulators. As we continue our efforts to aid tinnitus suffers we are conducting a survey of those who signed up to receive updates on our tinnitus work. We at MTI thank you for your help as your answers will help us better develop the tinnitus therapy.
