Why did patients apply to this trial?

I've severe tinnitus, so I'm very motivated to be a part of your trial. I have been trying to use meditation, and have been to 3 ents with no explanation as to why I developed tinnitus. It’s been very hard life adjustment. I’m excited to see new and upcoming studies and ways to improve lives of people living with this condition.
