Understanding Tinnitus Treatment with TMS in North Carolina

TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in tinnitus. By modulating neural activity in these areas, TMS can help restore normal brain function and reduce symptoms.

While TMS for tinnitus is not yet FDA-cleared for this specific indication, growing clinical evidence supports its effectiveness. Some North Carolina providers offer this treatment off-label.

How TMS Treats Tinnitus

TMS therapy targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using repetitive TMS (rTMS). A magnetic coil placed against the scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region, promoting neuroplasticity over the course of treatment.
