How it works
Masking raises the ambient sound floor above the perceived tinnitus level, making it less audible. Hearing aids additionally restore missing auditory input which may reduce tinnitus centrally.
Masking only works while the sound is playing — not a permanent solution. Do not use at excessive volume. Audiological assessment recommended.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
