Sounds for Tinnitus

Preparing sound…

Sound shape

Your shape Measured output Notch (drag its edges in Notched sound) Drag to draw. Bottom of the graph mutes a band. Levels are relative: overall loudness stays on the volume slider.

Noise types

Find my sound

Plays one slice of the spectrum at a time. You mark how much of each slice is in your tinnitus, and that builds your shape. Takes a few minutes.

Tip: with tinnitus in one ear, try matching with the sound in the other ear so it doesn't cover up what you're comparing it to.

Find my level

Aim for where the sound blends with your tinnitus, without covering it. This raises the volume slowly, twice, and you tap when they blend. Leave your device volume alone while it runs, and redo it whenever your tinnitus feels different.

Movement

Volume flutter

Moving band

Shimmer (each band flickers on its own)

Notch

Removes your tinnitus range from the sound. Build your match first, then turn it into a notch, or enter the range yourself. In Notched sound, the graph and noise types set the base noise.

Play the notch through

Tones on top

For any ringing or whistle inside the noise. Tone level is relative to the noise.

What helps

Change is bother after listening minus bother before, so a negative number is better. It needs a Before and an After for the same sound. Tinnitus also shifts by itself, so trust a pattern over weeks, not one day.

Recent check-ins

Start low and raise slowly. The volume cap here can't account for your device volume or your headphones. Stop if your tinnitus gets louder or stays worse afterwards, or if your ears hurt. This is a listening tool, not a cure or treatment. See a doctor about your tinnitus. Keep this page open while you listen. On some devices, sound may stop when the screen locks. For overnight use, you can save your sound as audio instead.
