## What is Tinnitus Diary?

Tinnitus Diary is a calm, private place to track the ringing in your ears — and to find the tone, the triggers, and the sounds that help.

Built for people who have lived with tinnitus long enough to know the loop: it gets worse, you panic, it gets even worse. The app's job is to give you something specific to do when that loop starts, and to help you see what's really driving it over time.


FIND YOUR TINNITUS PITCH

Most tinnitus has a specific frequency. The app walks you through a 90-second pitch-match flow:

• Drag a slider across the audible range to find a tone that sounds close to yours
• Refine it with side-by-side A/B comparisons — four rounds of narrowing down
• Save your matched frequency

Once matched, the app generates a personalized notched-pink-noise track: gentle background sound with your exact tinnitus frequency carved out. Research on notched-noise therapy (Okamoto et al., Pantev) suggests regular listening may help your brain re-balance over time. Whether or not it helps you long-term, it sounds different from generic masking — the sound surrounds your tinnitus instead of competing with it.


MASKING SOUNDS

Six built-in, synthesized sounds — no streaming, no downloads, no licensing fuss:

• White, pink, and brown noise
• Rain, ocean, and fan

Each loops seamlessly with a sleep timer (5, 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes) and a gentle 3-second fade-out. Play in the background while you fall asleep, work, or just need a quieter room.


THE DAILY LOG

Open the app, tap one card, and walk through six quick steps:

• Loudness — a soft 0-10 dial that pulses gently when you cross 7
• Where — left ear, right ear, both, or inside your head; high whine, low hum, hissing, pulsing, clicking, roaring
• Symptoms — sound sensitivity, ear fullness, dizziness, anxiety, trouble sleeping, and more
• Triggers — sleep, stress, caffeine, alcohol, salt, loud noise, headphones, jaw clenching, and 7 more
• Context — when it started, how long it lasted, what you took and whether it helped
• Review — a clean summary before saving

You can also log past days from the calendar heatmap, or do a one-tap quick log straight from the Sounds tab while a masking sound is playing.


INSIGHTS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE

The Insights tab waits until you have at least three entries before it shows you anything. Then:

• Bad-day rate — what percentage of the last 30 days had a logged episode
• Average loudness — across all your entries
• Loudness over time — a clean line chart
• Trigger correlations — for each trigger you log, how much it shifts your loudness. Only correlations strong enough to be worth knowing about.

The point is to find your pattern. Most people with tinnitus have one. The app's job is to help you see it.


PRIVACY, ACTUALLY

Your data lives on your iPhone. That's it.

• No account to create
• No analytics or advertising SDKs
• No third-party sharing
• Works fully offline

Export everything as JSON from Settings any time. Delete everything any time. Import a previous export to restore your data on a new device. You're never locked in.


WHAT IT WON'T DO

• It won't diagnose your tinnitus. That's your audiologist's job.
• It won't cure tinnitus. No app can, no matter what they claim.
• It won't predict the future.
• It won't spam you. One optional daily reminder, at whatever time you choose.


DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE TINNITUS

Soft sage and warm cream. Generous spacing. A serif headline. Gentle haptics. The kind of interface that doesn't add to the noise.
