Guides and insights on sound masking, frequency matching, and building your perfect sound environment.
Most tinnitus masking apps offer a fixed menu of sounds. Here is why per-layer pitch control, independent volume mixing, and DSP effects give you more control over your sound environment than any preset library can.
A feature-by-feature comparison of the top tinnitus sound apps available on iPhone, from hearing aid companion apps to dedicated sound mixing tools.
Tinnitus often feels worse at night when background noise drops away. This practical guide covers how to build a layered sound environment for sleep, from choosing the right sounds to setting up a fade schedule.
A plain-language comparison of white, pink, brown, blue, violet, and green noise, with peer-reviewed research on how each interacts with tinnitus perception. What makes each one different, how they sound, and how to figure out which one you actually prefer.
A clear comparison of three common approaches to structuring a sound environment around tinnitus, with citations from peer-reviewed research: what each one is, how it works acoustically, and what the current evidence says.
A plain-language guide to what sound masking is, how it works, and why customizable sounds matter more than generic white noise.
A research-focused overview of the neuroscience behind sound masking and tinnitus, citing studies from JAMA, PNAS, Cochrane, and the Journal of Neuroscience. Written for people who want to understand what the science actually shows, and where the gaps are.
Not all noise is created equal. Research shows a strong correlation between tinnitus pitch and hearing loss patterns. Learn why matching sounds to your specific tinnitus pitch gives you more control than broadband white noise.
Tinnitus competes for your attention during focused work. This guide covers how sound masking creates a background layer that changes the acoustic conditions of your workspace.
A step-by-step guide to building a layered sound masking profile using pitch exploration, multi-layer mixing, and per-layer controls for your specific tinnitus.
An honest comparison of sound masking apps and dedicated white noise machines, covering portability, customization, sound quality, cost, and who each option is best for.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external source is present. This guide covers what it is, how common it is, what causes it, and how sound masking is used alongside it, with citations from peer-reviewed research.
