Tinnitus Relief

find the tone, then mask it

1 · Find your tone

Play the tone and slide until its pitch matches the ringing in your ear. Keep the volume gentle. Use the fine buttons to zero in. Once it matches, tap “This is my pitch” — then lower the tone volume before moving on.

Hz

2 · Mask it

Once you've found your pitch, choose a masking sound. Set the level just loud enough to soften the ringing — no louder. Many people find a level that blends with the tinnitus (not drowns it) works best.

One at a time: stop the masking here before you start any of the experimental tones below (Steps 3–5), so the sounds don't overlap.

Keep it comfortable — gentle is more effective than loud.

3 · Octave ladder · experimental

A gentle tone steps down from your pitch through four lower octaves and back up, on a slow loop. The idea: give your attention a real, moving sound to follow across the octaves your tinnitus already travels — anchored in the low range you hear clearly — rather than letting it fix on the high ring. Keep it soft. This is an experiment to try, not a proven cure.

Very gentle volume. If the ringing gets louder, stop — that’s your signal this isn’t the approach for you.

4 · Binaural fusion · use headphones

Two tones a few Hz apart, one in each ear, that fuse into a slow pulse near your pitch. The idea is to give the two sides of your hearing a coordination task right at the tinnitus frequency. Keep the volume low, use headphones, and stop if the ringing grows. An unproven experiment, not a treatment.

Gentle only. These sit right at your tinnitus frequency — stop at once if it intensifies.

5 · Vedic resonance · correspondence, not physics

Your tinnitus tone, folded down into a chantable octave and mapped to the Vedic sound tradition — its nāda seat, bīja (seed) mantra, chakra, and the varṇa (phoneme) family tradition places in that region. These are traditional correspondences to contemplate and chant with, not scientific measurements.

How to chant
Match your voice to the tone. Chant on the out-breath until it fades, then breathe in and meet the next tone. Let the hum resonate where the chakra sits.

Breathe with the circle — in as it grows, out as it settles. Relaxing the body often softens the ringing.

Add to your Home Screen

Adding this to your Home Screen opens it full‑screen like an app, and lets the sound keep going more reliably when you switch away. It also means you don’t have to find the link again.

On iPhone / iPad (Safari):
1. Tap the Share button    at the bottom of Safari.
2. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen.”

1. Tap the menu (top‑right).
2. Tap “Add to Home screen” or “Install app.”
3. Confirm — the icon appears on your Home Screen.

A note for overnight use: even added to the Home Screen, phone browsers may still pause audio when the screen locks for a long time. For all‑night masking, keep the screen awake, or use a dedicated sound machine.

Please read. This is a self-help sound tool, not medical advice, diagnosis, or a cure. Keep every sound at a gentle, comfortable level — loud sound can harm hearing and worsen tinnitus. If your tinnitus is new, sudden, in one ear only, pulses in time with your heartbeat, or comes with dizziness or hearing loss, please see a doctor or audiologist. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
