Tinnitus Apps: Sound Therapy and Coping Tools

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

Email to a family member

Tinnitus apps play sounds and teach coping skills. They help many people feel less bothered. They do not cure tinnitus.

Both makers on this page say their app belongs with care from a hearing care professional.

The apps

  • ReSound Relief

    ReSound (GN Hearing)

    Tinnitus sounds, relaxation exercises and learning tools.

    No cost to download, paid optionsiPhone

  • Oto

    Oto Health Ltd

    Guided tinnitus sessions and sounds that you get through a clinic.

    Through a cliniciPhone, iPad, Android

How to choose

  • Pick an app with sounds you like. You will use it often.
  • Check how you get access. One app comes only through a clinic.
  • 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.

Questions to bring to your visit

Write these on your phone or print this page. Bring them to your hearing evaluation.

  • What may be causing my tinnitus?
  • Which sounds should I try, and for how long?
  • Do I need a medical check before I use sound therapy?

Common questions

Do tinnitus apps cure tinnitus?
No. They play sounds and teach coping skills. They help many people feel less bothered.
Should I see someone before I use a tinnitus app?
Yes, if your tinnitus is in one ear only, beats with your pulse or comes with sudden hearing loss. Those signs need a prompt visit.
Which sounds help with tinnitus?
It differs for each person. Try a few sounds at a low volume and tell your audiologist what helps.
