How loud should the volume at which I listen to Notched White Noise be? I want to treat my tinnitus effectively, without causing more hearing loss.
As far as listening volume, according to the research we’ve looked at, you should try and listen to the therapy at a level approximately equal to your tinnitus volume. Be wary of listening to the therapy too loud, as that may damage your hearing and make your tinnitus worse! We recommend getting a good pair of headphones that is able to fully block out external noise and then listening to the sound therapy at a comfortable level. The US EPA recommends under 70 dB for continued listening, but it may be hard to measure that from your headphones.
