Tinnitus Masking Sounds Library

Tinnitus Masking Sounds Library (Free + Premium)

Tinnitus is personal. The “right” sound isn’t a specific frequency — it’s whatever feels comfortable and makes ringing less front-and-center. Start with the free noise sounds, then explore premium soundscapes for comfort, variety, and long sessions.

How masking works

The goal: not to “erase” tinnitus, but to reduce the contrast between ringing and silence. Gentle background sound can help your brain shift attention and feel calmer.

Comfort first: start at low volume. Increase only until tinnitus feels less intrusive. If a sound feels sharp or tiring, switch sound profile instead of turning it up.

Step 1: Start with free sounds

White, Pink, and Brown noise are free in the app. They’re the fastest way to discover what your ears tolerate best.

White noise visual

White Noise Free

Feels like: static, a strong fan.

Best for: high-pitched ringing Use case: quick masking

Try this: 3–5 minutes at low volume. If it feels sharp, switch to Pink Noise.

Pink noise visual

Pink Noise Free

Feels like: steady rain, leaves rustling.

Best for: daily use Use case: work + sleep

Try this: save it as your “default” sound if it feels easy to listen to for longer.

Brown noise visual

Brown Noise Free

Feels like: distant thunder, a deep waterfall.

Best for: low humming Use case: relaxation

Try this: bedtime at very low volume. Many people prefer it for winding down.

Step 2: Premium soundscapes (curated “best-of” library)

A strong library is not “hundreds of sounds.” Too many choices creates drop-off. A practical target is around 18–28 sounds: enough variety to match preferences, still simple to navigate. Below is a curated set of 20 premium soundscapes aligned with your current catalog, grouped by use case.

How to choose (beginner framework)

Simple 3-step plan:

  • Pick one free sound (Pink Noise is often an easy start) and test for 3–5 minutes at low volume.
  • Choose one premium soundscape you enjoy (rain, ocean, fan, coffee) and compare comfort after a few minutes.
  • Use background play + a timer so you don’t have to manage sessions all day.

FAQ

Do I need to match my tinnitus frequency exactly?

No. Frequency matching can help some people, but it is not required. Many users start with noise sounds and keep what feels comfortable.

Can I use it for sleep?

Yes. Use the timer, keep volume low, and choose the most comfortable sound for long sessions.

Is it safe?

Sound masking can be used safely at comfortable listening levels. Avoid loud volume. If you have pain, dizziness, sudden hearing changes, or severe distress, consult a qualified clinician.
