Tinnitus Pitch Matcher
Explore soft tones and save a rough description of your tinnitus sound to discuss with your audiologist.
Use a quiet room and headphones at a low, comfortable device volume. Never increase the volume to force yourself to hear a sound. Stop if you feel discomfort. Sudden hearing loss needs urgent medical assessment—not an online test.
Find a rough sound description.
A soft two-second tone may help describe tonal ringing. Hissing, pulsing or complex sounds may not have a single match. This is not a treatment; do not try to mask tinnitus at high volume.
NIDCD: tinnitus and professional evaluationFrequently asked
Can this diagnose hearing loss?
No. Uncalibrated devices, headphones and listening environments affect what you hear. An audiologist can measure hearing thresholds and investigate symptoms.
What if my hearing changed suddenly?
Sudden hearing loss needs urgent medical assessment. Do not wait for an online result. New one-sided symptoms, dizziness, pain or drainage also need medical advice.
