Please use headphones for optimal effect. Firstly keep the volume at the level where it seems to be matching your tinnitus then take a minute or two before lowering the volume a bit and keep going until your tinnitus is gone. Just choose the ambient noise which you like most. Adjust the sound volume rather low so you can still hear the environmental noise. If you need to mask your tinnitus for a while or have other reasons to listen to relaxing sounds, you can try the all-new noise generator.
