## What is Nobells?

Nobells combines sound therapy with education and cognitive techniques - the approach research shows is most effective for tinnitus management. Whether you're looking for immediate relief or long-term habituation, Nobells gives you the tools and knowledge to take control.

Four Therapy Modes

• Habituation - Train your brain to tune out tinnitus at the "mixing point" volume, the level just below your tinnitus where long-term retraining happens
• Masking - Cover your tinnitus with soothing noise for immediate relief, focus, or sleep
• Notched Therapy - Audio filtered around your tinnitus frequency to encourage cortical retraining through lateral inhibition
• Residual Inhibition - Pulsed tone and noise cycles designed to produce temporary tinnitus suppression

Frequency Tuner

Match your tinnitus pitch with a guided three-phase process. Coarse search, fine binary search, and octave verification help you find your frequency accurately - enabling personalized notched and residual inhibition therapy.

Sound Library

• Colored noise: white, pink, brown, and blue — each with a distinct spectral profile
• Binaural beats: alpha (focus), theta (relaxation), delta (sleep)
• Pure tones for tuning and therapy

Learn What Works

Seven interactive educational topics covering how tinnitus works, the science of habituation, residual inhibition, finding your mixing point, realistic timelines, daily tips, and guided 4-7-8 relaxation breathing. Understanding your tinnitus is the single most important step toward managing it.

Track Your Progress

• Daily therapy duration tracking with customizable goals
• Current and longest streak tracking
• Tinnitus severity ratings over time with trend analysis
• See your improvement at a glance

Built on Research

Nobells is informed by systematic reviews and clinical studies showing that combining sound therapy with educational counseling is more effective than either approach alone. Recommended use is 3–5 hours daily for 3–6 months to see meaningful improvement.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-04

New in this update:

• Residual Inhibition therapy - pulsed tones designed to give temporary relief from your tinnitus.
• A smarter Frequency Tuner - hear the tone live as you drag the slider, and fine-tune the pulsing/modulation of your tinnitus for a closer match.
• Notched therapy now uses your matched modulation rate for a more personalised sound.
• Refined tuner flow that makes each step clearer.
• Pause that actually pauses - paused time no longer counts toward your session total.
• Plenty of polish: button placement, background playback, and other fixes.

Thanks for using Nobells. Keep it up — consistency is what makes the difference.
