Tinnitus Relief shares tones and sounds that match the most common types of tinnitus, from low hums to high-pitched ringing, hissing, buzzing, roaring, chirping, clicking and pulsatile whooshing.
Use them to find the sound closest to yours, describe it to your doctor or audiologist, or let family and friends hear what you hear.
HOW TO LISTEN
Turn your volume all the way down, then raise it until you can just barely hear the sound. Go no louder than that. Some people find this calms their tinnitus for a while. It may work for some people and not for others.
DISCLAIMER
This channel is for informational use only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a cure for tinnitus. Please seek proper medical attention as needed, especially if your tinnitus is new, in one ear only, pulses with your heartbeat, or comes with hearing loss, pain or dizziness.

NEW SERIES: Pulsed Tones 🔊
A tone at a common tinnitus pitch that pulses about 10 times a second. Here's what the research says:
• In a 2017 study, sounds pulsing at 10 Hz, matched to each person's tinnitus, briefly reduced tinnitus loudness in many participants after listening. The effect lasted seconds to minutes and varied between people. (Neff et al., Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017)
• This short-term quieting after sound is called residual inhibition. It's well documented, but how strongly it happens differs a lot from person to person. (Hu et al., Trends in Hearing, 2021)
• It's short-term relief, not a cure, and sound therapy research overall is still limited. (Cochrane Review, 2018)
How to try it: volume all the way down, then raise it until the tone is soft but clear. Listen for 3 minutes, then pause and notice your tinnitus.
First up, 4000 Hz: https://youtu.be/NlnZjxKUV38
6000 Hz and 8000 Hz are coming next in the Pulsed Tones playlist.

NEW SERIES: Weather Sounds 🌧️
Why nature sounds for tinnitus? What the research says:
• A trial in New Zealand compared nature sounds with plain broadband noise for tinnitus. Both reduced tinnitus distress on average, and people responded very differently, so the best sound is the one YOU find pleasant. (Durai & Searchfield, Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017)
• Tinnitus UK advises choosing a sound you like and keeping it a little quieter than your tinnitus, so it blends in rather than drowns it out.
• A quiet bedroom makes tinnitus more noticeable; soft background sound can help at night. Research on sound as a sleep aid is still limited, so try it and see what works for you. (Tinnitus UK; Riedy et al., Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2021)

NEW: 1 hour of Fractal Chimes 🎐
Soft tones that never repeat, similar to the fractal tones used in some hearing-aid tinnitus programs.
https://youtu.be/hBrMhxNSXTQ
How to use them: volume all the way down, then raise it until the chimes are soft, a little quieter than your tinnitus. Don't follow the notes, let them drift. Try 15 to 30 minutes in quiet rooms or while winding down for sleep.
Tinnitus fact: Earwax blocking the ear canal can cause tinnitus. Have it checked and removed by a professional. (Source: NIH NIDCD)

Full 15-minute version: https://youtu.be/KXGqX1oL7SQ
30-second Short: youtube.com/shorts/eVARVo2w83I
This sits between the 10,000 and 12,000 Hz tones, a very high whine many people hear after loud noise. Turn your volume all the way down first, then raise it until you can just barely hear it.
