Tinnitus Experiments
Find the pitch you hear.
Move a slider until the tone matches your ringing — then work with it. Experiments that put that pitch to use, six calming soundscapes, guided sessions for sleep and focus, and a sleep timer that fades out gently. Built by a jazz drummer who has spent fifty years next to the cymbals.

What's in it
Everything starts from the pitch you hear. Find it once, and the rest of the app knows where to work.
Find Your Tone
Play a tone and slide it low to high until it sounds closest to your ringing, with ±5 Hz and ±50 Hz buttons for fine tuning. The app keeps the volume gentle and reminds you to stop if anything gets louder or feels uncomfortable.
Experiments
- Octave LadderPremium — a gentle tone walks down the octaves from your pitch.
- Binaural FusionPremium — two slightly different tones, one per ear, that fuse into one.
- Hearing Range CheckQuick check — see what you can and can't hear.
- Sound Level CheckQuick check — a quick dB meter for the room you're in.

Guided sessions
Three tracks — Daily Relief, Sleep, and Focus Ease — with sessions like Drift to Sleep, a 20-minute pairing of sleep breathing and a deep hum.Premium
Made for bedtime
A sleep timer at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or all night, with a fade-out you choose. A bedtime reminder nudges you to wind down. Sound keeps playing with the screen off, and you can stop it from the lock screen without getting up.
Honest science
No miracle promises. The app explains what sound can and can't do, and shows its sources. A Progress tab tracks how you're doing over time.
"Every drummer I know has a ringing they carry home from the gig. I built this for us — and for anyone else who hears it in a quiet room." — Phil Marks, jazz drummer since 1975
