Why did patients apply to this trial?

i have loud tinnitus. I have suffered from tinnitus for several years and wish to find help with it.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
I have tried several different recommended solutions, but none of them have worked. I also understand that there are many other people who suffer from this condition, and I was hope that this would help them too.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
The ringing feels it has gotten louder and is constant and so disturbing. I cannot hear my boyfriend talk. I tested positive for hearing loss. I know it is just the insanely loud ringing in my ears. Please please help me!
