Sound therapy many people use to ease tinnitus. Broadband noise — white, pink, and brown — is the classic clinical masker; the nature and ambient sounds (rain, ocean, stream, wind, fire, fan) add calm. Select any combination to layer together under your signal — tap a sound again to stop just that one, or OFF to stop them all. This is comfort and masking, not a cure.
SELECT ONE OR MORE PATTERNS TO LAYER TOGETHER. TAP AN ACTIVE BUTTON AGAIN TO STOP ONLY THAT PATTERN, THEN FINE-TUNE OR ADD LAYERS:

Tinnitus is the perception of sound — ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming, clicking, or a pulsing whoosh — when no external sound is present. It is almost always subjective, so only you can hear it, and most tinnitus pitches fall between 4,000 and 8,000 Hz. Because no two people hear the same thing, TinSim lets you stack multiple tones and noise textures, place each in one ear or both, add pulsing, then save, share, or export the result. Explore what tinnitus sounds like or the tinnitus glossary.
TinSim is built for people living with tinnitus, the family and friends trying to understand it, and the audiologists and ENT clinicians who treat it. See how to use the simulator, the latest tinnitus research news, recommended products & tools, or who built it and why. It is an educational and communication tool — not a diagnosis or treatment.
