Evidence-Based Tinnitus Habituation

Quiet the Ringing with Acoustic Notch Therapy

Filter out your exact tinnitus frequency from customizable sound layers. Stimulate surrounding neurons to calm the auditory hyperactivity responsible for the ringing—100% offline and private.

Session data is stored strictly in your local sandbox. Zero bytes transmitted.

Targeted Acoustic Engineering

A comprehensive set of tools built scientifically to assist in tinnitus habituation.

Acoustic Notch Therapy

Precisely map your tinnitus pitch from 125 Hz to 20,000 Hz, apply a sharp digital notch filter, and filter it out of therapeutic white, pink, or brown noise.

Sound Layer Mixer

Blend your primary filtered noise with soothing environmental sound layers (ocean waves, soft rain, forest wind) to create a relaxed, comforting backdrop.

Double Notch Support

Engineered for bilateral tinnitus sufferers. Configure both a primary and secondary notch frequency filter to target ringing in both ears simultaneously.

Distress Journal Logs

Track daily discomfort changes. Rate your distress scale (1 to 10) before and after therapy sessions, and monitor your long-term habituation history.

Clinical PDF Reports

Export beautiful, structured PDF logs detailing session streaks, duration averages, and discomfort scores to share with your audiologist or ENT doctor.

Logarithmic Safe Guard

Protect your hearing health. Automatic volume warnings trigger visually if volume levels exceed safe guidelines, protecting your ears from exposure.

The Science Behind Lateral Inhibition

Tonal tinnitus is frequently caused by damaged hair cells in the inner ear. Because these cells stop transmitting signals, the corresponding neurons in the brain's auditory cortex receive no input, causing them to hyper-oscillate and manifest as a ringing sound.

Acoustic Notched-Noise Therapy plays broadband sound containing all frequencies except the user's specific tinnitus frequency. By doing this:

  • Neighbor Stimulation: Sound frequencies directly adjacent to your tinnitus are stimulated normally.
  • Synaptic Suppression: The active surrounding neurons send inhibitory neural links back to the hyperactive zone (lateral inhibition).
  • Habituation Progress: With regular listening, the hyperactive neurons calm down, reducing the loudness of the perceived ringing over time.
