Tinnitus pitch matching tool
Adjust the slider until the tone sounds like the ringing in your ears. Many people find a narrow band of noise matches better than a pure tone.
Why match tinnitus pitch
Knowing your frequency helps you describe tinnitus to an audiologist and choose masking sounds that cover the right range.
Tinnitus sound therapy
Low-level noise centred around your pitch can reduce how noticeable tinnitus feels.
Safety note
Never play tones louder than your tinnitus.

Why match tinnitus pitch
Knowing your frequency helps you describe tinnitus to an audiologist and choose masking sounds that cover the right range.
Tinnitus sound therapy
Low-level noise centred around your pitch can reduce how noticeable tinnitus feels. Notched music therapy removes that band from music; evidence is still developing.
Safety note
Never play tones louder than your tinnitus. Sudden tinnitus with hearing loss or one-sided tinnitus needs medical attention.
Matching method
Start at very low volume
Begin quieter than your tinnitus and raise until just audible.
High vs low bracket test
Alternate above and below your guess and narrow the range.
Match the loudness
Find the level where the tone just covers your tinnitus: the minimum masking level.
Pink vs white noise
Pink is gentler for long use; white covers high-pitched tinnitus better.
More guidance
Why tinnitus sits at a specific pitch
It often matches the frequency region where hearing is damaged.
Fine-tune the slider
Use arrow keys for 10 Hz steps.
See a doctor immediately if
Tinnitus is pulsing, one-sided, sudden, or with hearing loss or dizziness.
Next steps
Try the hearing test and gentle noise.
Typical tinnitus pitch ranges
Most people who match their tinnitus place it between about 3 and 10 kHz, often near the frequency where their hearing is weakest. Some describe low hums instead. Matching is approximate; repeat it on different days and share results with a clinician.
