How it works

Sound enrichment reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of tinnitus, making it less perceptible. Prevents the silence-amplification that worsens tinnitus perception.

Sound level should be below the tinnitus volume β€” the goal is to partially mask, not fully cover, the tinnitus. Avoid very loud masking which can damage hearing.

Why moderate evidence

Consistent evidence supports sound therapy for improving sleep and reducing tinnitus-related distress. Recommended as a component of tinnitus management.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
