In Hush you choose an ear, play a quiet tone and move it between 2 and 12 kHz until it sits close to the ringing you hear, then save it. Hush then ranks sounds by their energy near that pitch. It is a listening preference, not a hearing test.
How it works
Pitch matching is free and takes about a minute.
- Choose the ear where you notice the ringing, or both.
- Tap Play tone. The tone is quiet and stops by itself after a few seconds.
- Move the slider, from 2 to 12 kHz in steps of 0.1 kHz, until the tone sits close to what you hear.
- Save the pitch, or pick a suggested sound to save it and start listening.
What saving changes
Hush ranks its sounds by how much energy they have near the saved pitch, using the same nine measured bands shown on these pages, and the library lists the closest under Near your pitch.
If you cannot find a match
Tinnitus can sound like more than one tone, a hiss or a buzz, and it can change over the day. A rough match is enough for browsing sounds, and you can change or clear the pitch at any time.
Tips for a closer match
A few things make matching easier:
- Use a quiet room, at a time when you notice the ringing.
- Keep the tone quiet: a loud tone is harder to compare and less comfortable.
- Once you are close, compare a step either side before saving.
- If the ringing sounds like a hiss or a buzz rather than a tone, choose the pitch where the tone blends in best.
- Match again on another day and see whether you land in the same place.
Sounds after matching
With a pitch saved, Near your pitch in the library lists the sounds with the most energy around it. Some people prefer a sound close to their pitch and others one well away from it, such as brown noise. Either is a matter of comfort.
