Tinnitus Pro has four therapy types. Each one serves a different need. You can mix and match during the day.
Quick selection
- I need steady coverage throughout the day (long-term benefit) → Adaptation
Adaptation or “Notched” listening removes your tinnitus pitch from the sound to help your brain turn the ringing down over time. Build toward 1.5–2+ hours a day (you can split it up). - I need steady coverage throughout the day (long-term benefit) → Habituation
Adds gentle sound so tinnitus blends into the background and becomes easier to ignore. Great for quiet tasks and evening wind-down. - I want fast calm right now → Relief
Short habituation sessions you can run on-demand during spikes. They can sometimes create a brief quiet period after the sound stops (called “residual inhibition”). Use for 2–15 minutes. - I need help falling asleep → Sleep
Starts with habituation, glides toward gentle adaptation, then fades out so you are not kept awake by sound. Designed for bedtime and does not count toward the daily therapy goal.
How they work (in plain language)
- Adaptation = adaptation training. By removing your tinnitus pitch from what you are hearing, your brain gets less input at that exact frequency and can adapt over time.
- Habituation = habituation training. Adding steady, soothing sound reduces the contrast with silence, helping your brain tune the tinnitus out.
- Relief = short habituation for spikes. Quick sessions during tough moments; sometimes the quiet continues briefly after the sound stops.
- Sleep = wind-down routine. Bedtime sound that starts supportive and gently fades, so sleep is not disturbed.
Your daily therapy goal
- The app tracks minutes across Adaptation, Habituation, and Relief (Sleep is for rest and does not count).
- In general, more minutes lead to better results. Doing several hours a day works better than very short daily use.
A simple plan:
Use Adaptation for focused sessions, keep Habituation on during quiet parts of your day, and run Relief when spikes hit. Use Sleep at bedtime.
Tips for success
- Keep volume comfortable. You should hear both the app and your own tinnitus.
- Start low and raise slowly; never use loud sounds.
- If you hear more than one tinnitus sound, treat the most bothersome first (you can adjust later).
- Consistency matters—spread listening across your day.
FAQs
Can I switch modes during the day?
Yes. Many people combine modes based on need throughout the day.
Will Sleep replace daytime therapy?
No. Sleep helps you fall asleep; the minutes that build progress come from Adaptation, Habituation, and Relief.
