Masking Devices / White Noise
for Tinnitus
Sound masking devices, white noise machines, or hearing aids with built-in sound generators used to partially cover tinnitus sounds and reduce distress in quiet environments.
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.
What to watch for
Masking only works while the sound is playing — not a permanent solution. Do not use at excessive volume. Audiological assessment recommended.
