Living with tinnitus is exhausting. Quilence gives you precise control over sound frequencies to mask your specific tinnitus tone and find the relief you deserve.
Try Free — Experience Relief TonightFree 7-day trial • No credit card required
Sound masking covers or reduces the perceived loudness of your tinnitus tone.
Consistent use helps your brain learn to filter out the tinnitus over time.
Get relief when you need it most — while sleeping or trying to concentrate.
Unlike generic white noise apps, Quilence lets you precisely target your tinnitus frequency.
Target your specific tinnitus frequency from 40 Hz to 16 kHz
No sudden volume changes that could cause discomfort
Use during sleep with auto-shutoff and gentle fade
No tracking, no data collection, no account required
Start with these presets, then customize to find your perfect masking sound.
Scientifically designed masking sound that covers a wide range of tinnitus frequencies.
For high-pitched tinnitus. Emphasizes higher frequencies to better mask the ringing.
Create your own perfect mask using the 10-band EQ to target your specific tinnitus frequency.
Important: Quilence is not a medical device. If you experience sudden or severe tinnitus, please consult a healthcare professional.
Tinnitus — the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking in the absence of external sound — affects roughly 15% of adults worldwide. It is not a disease itself but a symptom, most commonly arising from damage to the hair cells of the inner ear. When those cells are damaged, the auditory cortex can become hyperactive, generating phantom signals that the brain interprets as sound. For many people, this is a mild background annoyance; for others, it is severely disruptive to sleep, concentration, and quality of life.
There are two primary therapeutic approaches to tinnitus: masking and habituation. Masking raises the ambient noise floor so the tinnitus signal is less prominent relative to the acoustic environment — providing immediate, if temporary, relief. Habituation, the longer-term goal, trains the brain to reclassify the tinnitus signal as neutral and non-threatening, so it is filtered out like any other irrelevant background sound.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), developed by Pawel Jastreboff in the 1980s and now considered one of the gold-standard approaches, combines counseling with broadband noise therapy delivered at a sub-masking level — loud enough to reduce tinnitus awareness without completely covering it. Over months of consistent use, many patients experience significant reduction in tinnitus distress even when the sound itself hasn't changed.
Frequency targeting matters: high-pitched tinnitus (the most common form, often in the 4–8 kHz range) responds best to sounds that emphasize those frequencies. Quilence's 10-band EQ spanning 40 Hz to 16 kHz lets you precisely boost the frequency band that matches your tinnitus, creating a more effective mask than any fixed-spectrum white noise generator. Nighttime is the hardest period for tinnitus sufferers precisely because the absence of ambient sound makes the tinnitus more salient — making a gentle sleep timer sound particularly valuable.
Yes. White noise is one of the most commonly recommended tools for tinnitus management. It raises the ambient noise floor so your tinnitus tone is less prominent — a technique called sound masking. Many audiologists recommend it as a first-line approach.
It depends on your tinnitus frequency. High-pitched tinnitus (most common) often responds well to broadband white noise. Low-pitched tinnitus may respond better to pink or brown noise. Quilence's 10-band EQ lets you target the exact frequency range that matches your tinnitus.
Yes. Sound therapy is a core component of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), which trains the brain to reclassify tinnitus as a neutral, ignorable signal. Regular exposure to broadband noise at a sub-masking level can accelerate this process over weeks to months.
Many tinnitus sufferers find nighttime the hardest because silence makes tinnitus more prominent. Using Quilence's Sleep Timer at a gentle volume overnight can provide significant relief and improve sleep quality.
No. Quilence is a general-purpose noise generator, not a medical device. It can provide subjective relief but is not a substitute for professional audiological assessment. If you have sudden or severe tinnitus, please consult an ENT specialist or audiologist.
