New 'hidden in plain sight' facial and eye biomarkers for tinnitus severity could unlock path to testing treatments
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have identified facial muscle twitches and pupil dilation as subtle biomarkers linked to tinnitus severity. Using AI-powered software, they found these responses could serve as objective indicators of tinnitus distress. This discovery could lead to more accurate diagnostics and personalized treatments, potentially accessible through consumer-grade electronics.
