About

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. Note: Masking Tone is not a medical device and does not treat or cure tinnitus. Results vary. Consult your audiologist before use.

What's New in Masking Tone

4.1

July 13, 2026

Masking Tone 4.1 This update focuses on the things you told us mattered most: • Your tone is remembered. Your pitch, volume, mode, and session length now carry over between launches, so you never have to re-find your tinnitus pitch again. • Wider pitch range. You can now tune all the way up to 12,500 Hz, for higher-pitched tinnitus. • Smoother, quieter playback. Tones fade in and out cleanly with no clicks or pops. • Respects your music. Opening the app no longer interrupts whatever you're listening to, and your audio resumes the moment a session ends. • Your check-ins are safe. Completed sessions always save to your history, with a clear Skip option if you'd rather not answer. • Screen stays awake during a session, and playback recovers gracefully from calls and interruptions. • The waveform now moves while a tone is playing. • Accessibility and polish: full VoiceOver support, gentle haptic feedback while tuning and on play/stop, and times shown in your device's 12- or 24-hour format. Thanks for using Masking Tone.
