How it works

Start by recreating your own tinnitus tone. Then use it for daily practice. Here is how to get started and keep track of your progress.

Find your match

Use the tone generator to find a sound that resembles your tinnitus. Choose from eleven waveforms and types of noise, set the frequency, and balance the sound between your ears. Listen as you go to check the match.

Turn toward the sound

In Catch the Tone, birds appear in your own room. Through your headphones, you hear your tinnitus tone coming from each bird. Find it and tap to set it free. This lets you practice deliberately seeking out your sound.
