Can I match my tinnitus frequency while doing other things?

You can do the matching step when you have focus and a relatively quiet moment. After that, masking sounds are meant to support real life use (work, focus, rest). Background playback behavior depends on your device and settings.

How accurate does my match need to be?

Close enough is usually enough for choosing masking sounds. The goal is a usable range that helps you pick a sound that feels comfortable—not laboratory precision.

What if my tinnitus changes day to day?

Some people notice shifts. If the pitch clearly changes, re-check and save a new reference so you can test what feels better for that situation.

Can frequency matching cure tinnitus?

No. Frequency matching is a self-management tool that can help you choose masking sounds. It is not a cure, treatment, or diagnosis.

Should I test both ears separately?

If tinnitus feels different in each ear, testing separately can be useful. If it feels the same, one match can still be practical.
