Sound Therapy / White Noise

for Tinnitus

Using background sound (white noise machines, nature sounds, apps) particularly at night to reduce the contrast between tinnitus and silence.

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.

What to watch for

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