The AudioNotch Tinnitus Treatment Blog

A tinnitus masker is a good tool for providing “masking” of your tinnitus tone – basically, using a sound to “drown out” the audio of your tinnitus. Masking has been studied but isn’t really a true “treatment” for tinnitus – think of it more as a tool that can be used for certain purposes.

We’ve provided a free tinnitus masker that is available here.

Some useful applications for a tinnitus masker include:

• Creating an ambient noise to drown out your tinnitus tone and get some work done
• Covering your tinnitus sound with a more soothing sound that allows you go to sleep. Tip: these can be combined with SleepPhones. (we do not have a commercial relationship with this product so this is a conflict-free link).

Be sure not to listen too loudly to your tinnitus masker tones. Listening too loudly can further damage your hearing and thus worsen your tinnitus.
