Each sound can be played in a frequency range from 200 Hz up to 8000 Hz. The frequency is broken down to 1/8 octave for more precise assessment of tinnitus, better than any audiometer can deliver.
You can find three important things about tinnitus: .
1 Type of Tinnitus: what does your tinnitus sound like, a puretone like or noise similar?
2. Pitch Match: what is the pitch of your tinnitus? The type of pitches in one’s tinnitus can determine what kind of tinnitus sound therapy may need. High pitched like hissing sound or low pitched like an ocean roaring?
