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 โ€” precision matters. - Step 2: Find your Minimum Masking Level โ€” the lowest volume that covers your tinnitus. - Step 3: The app sets the level 10 dB above that threshold โ€” 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 โ€” research (Neff et al., 2017) shows amplitude-modulated tones outperform steady tones and are better tolerated. TONE JOURNAL โ€” 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 (ยฃ2.99 one-time, no subscription) unlocks: - Your full session history โ€” every entry you've ever logged - Frequency-over-time chart โ€” see how your tinnitus shifts across weeks and months - Steady vs AM mode comparison โ€” find which actually works better for you - Audiologist PDF export โ€” share a clean clinical report with your specialist BACKED BY RESEARCH: The RI protocol is based on 16 peer-reviewed studies published 2008โ€“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.
