iTinnitus Solutions

iTinnitus is an application intended to mask and relief tinnitus*.

Masking tinnitus is performed by producing “white noise” sound or sound of rain, water or fire for a period of time set by the timer from the appropriate app screen. The tinnitus relief effect is achieved by producing (generating) a pure tone sound with a frequency of 100 – 10000 Hz for a period of time set by the timer.
