My tinnitus is at 14khz, so every tone in this generator is too low.
Do the sounds actually need to match in pitch? My understanding is these sounds attempt to stop your brain noticing or perhaps generating the tinnitus, rather than masking the noise with something louder (like people do with a fan or noise generators)

In theory you could cancel the tinnitus out with a mirror/reverse waveform

I have both, No you can't tune them out. They are always there, sometimes if you are very lucky you can get engrossed enough not to have them as the first or second thing on your mind But it is always in the top five you never can tune them out you have always be aware as not to to certainn things.
I have tinnitus, and this thread is probably the first time I've thought about it this week.

Kids told me that I am losing my hearing. So I went to hearing lab. When I told doctor that I have tinnitus in left ear for almost 10 years, he recommended lorazepam in tough times… that it works. :)
Note - Lorazepam is one of those drugs which causes dependance if you use it regularly. If you find you need it often, get a substitute which is safe to use all the time.

I started having tinnitus in both ears 10 months ago. I don't know the exact cause, but I started noticing it during a job-related burnout and a series of work-related events that significantly increased my stress levels. It was so bad to the point I had to abruptly quit my job (FYI, freelancing without a safety net sucks). My doctor gave me pills to help calm my brain and the noise, especially during the night. I al…
Did they really suggest white noise? I imagine it was pink or brown noise? As I understand it, white noise is the only damaging one since there's no "falloff" to the PWM, it's just "white" or "black," so the spikiness of the modulation can be damaging.
The white noise must be played below the level of the tinnitus, so one can hear both sounds simultaneously. Doing so, in theory, the brain learns to reclassify the tinnitus as an unimportant signal (noise).
Why is everyone here having tinnitus in their left ear? Including myself.
