Listening to pink noise as a form of sound therapy for tinnitus can be beneficial for individuals suffering from the condition, according to the International Tinnitus Journal.
While there is no cure for tinnitus, subjects who had incorporated background noise into their daily routine reported reduced discomfort from symptoms of the condition.
Using pink noise sound therapy for tinnitus can help mask ringing in the ears, and provides relief from the constant perception of the unwanted sounds. Over time, listening to pink noise can acclimate your brain to the presence of certain frequencies of audio, making the ringing sound associated with tinnitus become less bothersome and easier to ignore.
Pink noise can also create a calming and relaxing environment, which can help reduce stress and anxiety associated with tinnitus. Stress and anxiety can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms, so reducing them can provide relief.
Pink noise therapy provides instant relief for tinnitus
One Reddit user found instant relief and lasting results from pink noise therapy for his tinnitus.
“I couldn’t believe it. For the first time, I felt normal”, he explained.
“My audiologist had told me to play pink noise every night for 20 minutes to re-program my brain. I had fallen asleep to it for a couple of nights. Why pink noise? I don’t know. I just know she told me to so I did it… My point is try listening to pink noise every night for brain re-programming”
