Background: Tinnitus is a common untreatable condition that originates from central maladaptive plasticity initiated by peripheral injury. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), direct cochlear low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and acupuncture were tried for tinnitus treatment, but the results of these methods were clinically unsatisfactory.  Methods: For this, 30 patients were randomized to 3 equal groups receiving 3 different interventions: inhibitory rTMS to the left auditory cortex, LLLT (which includes a combination of direct cochlear LLLT and laser acupuncture) to the affected ear(s), and finally, a combination of rTMS and LLLT. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were assessed before, immediately after, and at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after 10 consecutive every-other-day sessions for each intervention type. Results: We found that combined stimulation was effective in tinnitus treatment. This effect remained for 4 weeks after the end of the treatment. However, each of rTMS and LLLT alone had no significant effect. Repeated-measures ANOVA showed a significant effect of Time and Time × Intervention interaction for THI and VAS scores.
