Apps for Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus)

Last checked November 10, 2026. Next full check February 2027.

Tinnitus apps play sounds and teach coping skills. They help many people feel less bothered by the ringing.

They do not cure tinnitus. Some signs need a prompt visit before you use any app.

Limits to keep in mind

Tinnitus in one ear, tinnitus that beats with your pulse, or tinnitus with sudden hearing loss needs a prompt visit.
Keep sound at a low, comfortable volume.
Tell your audiologist what helps and what does not.

This guide is general information. It does not diagnose hearing loss and it does not replace a hearing evaluation. An app cannot tell you why you hear less. An audiologist can.
