Match the noise to your tinnitus pitch
Tinnitus comes in different pitches, and the best masking sound overlaps with yours:
- Low-pitched hum or roar — try brown noise.
- Mid or broadband ringing — try grey or white noise.
- High-pitched ringing — try violet or blue noise.
How to use masking safely
Set the volume just below the level of your tinnitus so the ringing blends into the background rather than being drowned out. Keep sessions comfortable and never uncomfortably loud. Masking gives relief in the moment; it does not treat the cause.
