Pick the tone that best matches your tinnitus tone’s character, and then proceed to the regular frequency matching process. If you use Google Chrome, the browser will support the selection of different tinnitus tones. What if my tinnitus tone sounds different than the regular “pure-tone” wave? Pick the closest match among options 1-3, and you’ll have checked to make sure you didn’t experience “octave confusion,” which could accidentally lead to an incorrect frequency match.
To check this, simply take the number you have, and listen at HALF that frequency. Once you believe you have found your frequency, due to a phenomenon known as “octave confusion” it’s possible that you have not actually found the correct frequency and instead mixed it up. What’s this about “ octave confusion” that the video mentions? The margin for error in tuning is two ERBs.

I would recommend registering for the trial and seeing if this works for you, using the white noise player (which can be set to repeat) on the listen page.īelow is a visual representation: as long as your tinnitus tone falls within the “notch,” you’re okay – and the notch has a specific width. Many people notice a (small) immediate drop in the volume of their tinnitus upon listening to white noise for 2 minutes when the therapy has been correctly tuned. The ERB is dependent on frequency, so if your tinnitus frequency is 10,000 Hz (10 kHz), the ERB is about 1000 Hz, which means you’d have to get within a 1000Hz of your true tinnitus frequency (ERB = 107.94*f +24.7 = 107.94*10 + 24.7 = 1104 Hz).
The notch width is actually based on the average frequency selectivity of a person, and is two equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERB). Here is a technical explanation of the margin for error: Assuming you have “pure tone” tinnitus (which sounds like a pure sine wave, or a clean whistling or humming sound), then as long as your “match” falls within the “notch” you’ll be okay. Now, how about some of the common questions we get about this? We often get e-mails on the following topics:ĭo I need to perfectly match my frequency? In it, we explain the various features of our tinnitus tuner. Click on the video below, and make sure you “full screen” the video while you are playing it. We’ve made a video that walks you through, step-by-step, the various steps you need to take in order to detect your tinnitus frequency.
