AudioNotch: Tinnitus Treatment
AudioNotch, LLC
AudioNotch: clinically proven sound therapy for tinnitus. Designed to reduce the ringing in your ears and provide permanent relief from tinnitus. AudioNotch was validated in a 2026 clinical study. AudioNotch creates personalized "notched sound therapy", a clinically validated tinnitus treatment. It filters out a narrow band of sound around your tinnitus frequency (the pitch of the ringing in your ears). This process is called “notching.” Over time listening to notched sound therapy can lower the volume of your tinnitus. Studies have found that improvements continue after the treatment ends. To get started, use the free tuner to find the pitch (frequency) of your tinnitus. Then create your own custom notched sound therapy from music, white noise, or the included natural soundscapes. One AudioNotch subscription includes all our apps and the website, plus audio notching from compatible apps on Android, Mac, and in Chrome. ABOUT THE CLINICAL STUDY In a Northwell Health randomized controlled trial, patients given free access to AudioNotch experienced greater improvement in tinnitus than those receiving standard care. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Otology & Neurotology, 2026. Tinnitus improvement was measured via the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), which is a validated assessment of how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) affects a person’s everyday life and emotional well-being. The AudioNotch group had a greater reduction in THI scores than the standard-care group: an adjusted difference of 10.02 points. This difference was statistically significant. The trial enrolled 65 adults: 33 were randomized to AudioNotch and 32 to standard care, with follow-up scheduled over 12 months. FEATURES • Choose from 27 soothing sounds, including rain, ocean surf, crickets, and pink noise. • Create notched soundscapes by mixing up to 4 sounds. • Download your tracks for offline listening. THE SCIENCE Notched sound therapy is believed to work through lateral inhibition, a neuroscience phenomenon in which active nerve cells suppress activity in neighboring cells. By stimulating frequencies around your tinnitus pitch, the therapy may reduce the overactivity associated with that pitch. TREATMENT PLAN Listen through headphones at a comfortable, safe volume. Start with one hour daily, divided into shorter sessions if preferred, and gradually increase to two hours daily if comfortable. Recheck your tinnitus pitch weekly. If it changes, update your frequency and create new notched sound therapy. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WORK? Improvements may develop gradually over weeks or months of regular listening. Results and the time needed to notice a change vary from person to person. Accurately identifying your tinnitus pitch (a process called tuning) helps ensure your therapy targets the correct frequency. REFERENCE Sturm H, et al.
