MASKING TONE - Tinnitus Residual Inhibition

Get temporary tinnitus relief backed by science.

Masking Tone uses a clinically validated technique called Residual Inhibition (RI) - a well-documented method where brief exposure to a precisely tuned tone temporarily suppresses tinnitus. Up to 90% of tinnitus sufferers can experience RI. Most apps get it wrong. Masking Tone gets it right.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Step 1: Fine-tune the frequency to match your tinnitus pitch — precision matters.
• Step 2: Find your Minimum Masking Level — the lowest volume that covers your tinnitus.
• Step 3: The app sets the level 10 dB above that threshold — exactly where the science shows RI works.
• Step 4: Listen for 60 seconds. When the tone stops, enjoy the silence.

Try AM 10 Hz mode for deeper suppression — research (Neff et al., 2017) shows amplitude-modulated tones outperform steady tones and are better tolerated.

TONE JOURNAL — TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every completed session is logged with frequency, mode, and outcome. The History view (free, last 7 days) shows your recent sessions at a glance.

Tone Journal (£2.99 one-time, no subscription) unlocks:

• Your full session history — every entry you've ever logged
• Frequency-over-time chart — see how your tinnitus shifts across weeks and months
• Steady vs AM mode comparison — find which actually works better for you
• Audiologist PDF export — share a clean clinical report with your specialist

BACKED BY RESEARCH: The RI protocol is based on 16 peer-reviewed studies published 2008–2024, from leading audiology institutions. The technique has been used in clinical settings for over 40 years.
