John Asks:

What do you mean by the following instructions on the tuner page?
Please note: When you think you have found your tone, check the frequency that is half it, and double it, as these may sound very similar due to a phenomenon known as octave confusion. Pick the one that closest matches your tone.

The reason these instructions were included is due to the concept of octave confusion.

If you tune your tinnitus to 8000 hZ, then try listening at half (4000 hZ) and then double (16,000 hZ). There is a chance either one of these frequencies will sound closer to your tinnitus frequency.

Cheers,
