How to Use Tinnitus Relief App – Step-by-Step Guide

Start with white noise. If it feels too sharp, try pink noise (softer) or brown noise (deeper). Rain and ocean are popular for sleep. Try three sounds for five minutes each and keep the one that makes you feel calmest.

That is perfectly normal. Not everyone can match precisely. Skip the frequency matching and use a masking sound instead. You will still get relief. The frequency matcher improves targeting but is not required.

As low as possible while still noticing relief. You should be able to hear someone speaking to you at a normal distance. If they have to raise their voice, it is too loud. Lower volume is safer and often more effective for long-term habituation.

Published research suggests 3 to 6 hours daily to support habituation. But any consistent use helps. Many people use it during work, commuting, and at bedtime. Start with whatever feels natural and build from there. Regularity matters more than duration.

Yes. Premium users can combine sounds from different categories — for example, white noise plus rain plus a fan — to build a personalised soundscape. Each layer has its own volume control.

Yes. Once downloaded, everything works fully offline. No internet needed. No data sent anywhere. Everything stays on your phone.

The free version lets you test with white noise and frequency matching — enough to feel whether it helps. And for most people, it does. If it works for you, the premium version is worth it: you unlock 44 different sounds (ocean, storm, forest, fireplace, birdsong…), you save your settings so they are one tap away, you adjust each ear separately if your tinnitus differs left and right, and you get a sleep timer that fades the sound out gently through the night. 7-day free trial, then $49.99/year or $99 once for lifetime access.

Absolutely. Ask a friend or family member to download the app and show you two things: the play button and the volume slider. There is no account, so the person helping you does not see any personal data. After that, you can use it on your own whenever you like.
