Brought to you by AudioNotch, the leading Tinnitus Treatment program worldwide:

Some of you may have tinnitus that does not sound like a pure tone sine wave (like a peep or a whistle).

There are different terms for this:

  • Atypical tinnitus sounds
  • Atonal tinnitus sounds
  • Non-tonal tinnitus sounds

The American Tinnitus Association has a list of sounds which includes examples of these tinnitus sounds which do not sound like “pure tones.” You can listen to the different tinnitus sounds on the list.

The list is available here.

AudioNotch is developing a tinnitus tuner which will include these special tinnitus sounds.
