Why it helps: tinnitus is loudest in silence, where there's nothing to compete with it. A gentle background sound narrows that gap, so the ringing blends into the mix and fades from attention.
Why sound helps tinnitus
Sound masking is a well-known approach to tinnitus. By adding a soft, steady sound, you reduce the contrast between the ringing and silence - which many people find makes it far less noticeable, especially when trying to relax or sleep.
Which noise to try
It's personal. Many prefer pink or white noise, or soft rain; if your tinnitus is high-pitched, a brighter texture may match it better. The aim isn't to drown it out at high volume, but to blend it in gently.
Find a sound that blends the ringing away at a low, comfortable volume.
Set a timer so a steady sound covers the ringing as you fall asleep.
