Tinnitus Toolkit: Sound & CBT

About Tinnitus Toolkit: Sound & CBT

Tinnitus Toolkit

Tinnitus can affect concentration, sleep and quality of life. Tinnitus Toolkit brings research-linked sound therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), sleep tools and current tinnitus research together in one private, offline app.

No account. No ads. No tracking.

SOUND THERAPY FOR TINNITUS

Explore four adjustable approaches informed by published research:

• Enriched Acoustic Environment (EAE) — broadband sound shaped using your hearing profile
• Band-gap Noise — also known as notched sound therapy
• Flanking Band Noise — two bands positioned around your tinnitus frequency
• SMR Decorrelation — decorrelated frequency bands tailored around your tinnitus sound

Each therapy includes clear guidance on personalisation and the published protocol. You remain in control of every setting and listening level.

FIND YOUR TINNITUS SOUND

Use My Sound to estimate the frequency and texture of your tinnitus. Choose a tone or hiss, adjust the frequency manually and save the result for compatible therapies.

This is a matching tool, not a hearing test or diagnosis.

CBT FOR TINNITUS

Follow a structured CBT course covering why tinnitus becomes intrusive, attention and monitoring, difficult thoughts, reducing urgency and checking, re-engaging with life, and combining CBT with sound therapy.

Practical Skill Sessions help you apply these ideas. Completed lessons and exercises are marked automatically when their audio finishes.

Every CBT lesson includes a synchronised transcript, so you can listen, read or use both together.

SLEEP AND TINNITUS

A dedicated CBT-I section applies established insomnia-management principles to tinnitus-related sleep difficulties.

Learn ways to respond differently to difficult nights, reduce sleep pressure, rebuild healthier habits and stop tinnitus becoming the focus of bedtime.

BACKGROUND SOUNDS AND SOUNDSCAPES

Create and save Soundscapes using adjustable layers including rain, ocean, stream, wind, fire, train and aircraft-cabin sound.

Use them for sleep, comfort, concentration or quiet rooms. Background Sounds are separate from the app’s therapy protocols.

Choose a 15, 30, 60 or 90-minute timer, with a gentle fade-out at the end.

HEARING PROFILE

Create a personal hearing profile across ten frequencies to tailor EAE sound therapy. It remains stored on your device.

TINNITUS IMPACT TRACKING

Use the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory to review how tinnitus affects daily life over time.

Tracking is periodic and informative, not a daily prompt to monitor tinnitus.

CURRENT TINNITUS RESEARCH

Read monthly plain-language summaries of recent peer-reviewed tinnitus studies, with journal details and links to PubMed or the original publication.

The latest digest is cached for offline reading.

CLEAR ABOUT THE EVIDENCE

The sound therapies are informed by published, peer-reviewed research. The companion website explains the evidence, protocols and limitations in plain English.

Research results reflect group averages, and individual responses vary. Tinnitus Toolkit provides self-management tools, not a cure or guaranteed treatment.

IMPORTANT

Tinnitus Toolkit is intended for education and self-management. It is not a medical device and does not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Seek prompt medical advice for sudden hearing loss, rapidly worsening or one-sided tinnitus, severe dizziness, ear pain, pulsatile tinnitus, or other new and concerning symptoms.
