Psilocybin, a compound in magic mushrooms, showed in a 2024 mouse study that it could rebalance brain cells that process sound, offering a potential new pathway to treat chronic tinnitus, a condition affecting more than 1 in 10 people with no reliable current treatment.
This is early-stage research in mice awaiting peer review; human trials have not yet begun.
