In this guide, we'll explore how to pinpoint and choose the ideal frequency from our extensive library, helping you reclaim peace.
First, identify your tinnitus frequency. Tinnitus tones vary widely, some experience high-pitched whistles around 8,000Hz, others low hums below 500Hz. To find yours, use a tone generator tool. Our embedded tone generator on the Tinnitus Audio Masking Library page lets you test pure tones like sine, triangle, sawtooth, or square waves. Start at a low volume to avoid discomfort or hearing strain. Play ascending or descending frequencies until you match the pitch of your tinnitus.
Once you have identified your tinnitus frequency, locate files within 500Hz of that tone and try different types to see what works best for you. You could then instantly download the file for off line use as required.
Note the Hz value - this is your starting point for masking sounds. If your tinnitus is multifaceted (e.g., multiple tones), experiment with combinations. Once identified, explore masking options tailored to that frequency.
White noise, a broad-spectrum sound like static, is a popular choice for general relief. Our White Noise Frequency-Focused category offers files with enhanced specific Hz ranges, using high and low-pass filters for a smooth blend.
For a more soothing, natural alternative, try pink noise, which emphasizes lower frequencies for a waterfall-like effect. Check our Pink Noise High-Cut section to roll off highs above your target, ideal for bedtime masking. If your tinnitus is sharp or piercing, consider wave-based files.
Sine Waves provide pure, continuous tones perfect for precise matching, while Square Waves add a buzzy edge with filtered slopes.
Alternative options for relief may be found by using Tick Sine Waves or Tick White Noise which are special files produced by AudioMan that deliver short sounds with silence gaps, mimicking crickets at high frequencies (a popular tinnitus masking sound).
Those seeking holistic benefits might prefer Binaural Beats for Chakras, which layer frequencies for meditation and stress reduction, great if anxiety amplifies your symptoms.
For advanced users, notched therapy could help: Our Notch Filter White Noise removes a "chunk" around your tinnitus frequency, potentially retraining your brain over time.
Needle Pulse Waves offer intense, thin sounds for high-frequency cases. Tips for choosing: Aim for the "mix-point" where the masker blends seamlessly with your tinnitus at the lowest volume. Start with 1-hour files for testing.
Consult an audiologist if unsure, especially for severe cases. Remember, consistency is key; use headphones or speakers nightly for best results. With over 400 files in our library, finding your perfect match is straightforward once you have identified your tinnitus frequency
