9 Best Tinnitus Apps of 2026

ReSound Tinnitus Relief covers the most ground for the least money. The free app gives you a library of soundscapes for sound therapy, and you can mix your own from environmental sounds and short pieces of music. ReSound says the aim is to distract the brain from the tinnitus so it learns to focus on it less over time. Alongside the sounds sit guided meditations, breathing exercises and imagery for sleep, plus a Learn section on causes and common therapies. Because tinnitus often comes with some hearing loss, every user also gets a quick hearing test with guidance on what to do next. The paid part is My Plan, which asks about your tinnitus and what bothers you most, then builds a weekly program; it costs $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year in the US. ReSound states the app should be used with a management plan from a hearing care professional. With about 19,000 ratings at 4.7, it is the most reviewed tinnitus app on the US store.

MindEar is the most complete CBT option you can download without a clinic. The developer, Odio Tech in Sydney, says the app was designed by audiologists, psychologists and researchers, and it is built around the distress that often comes with tinnitus: anxiety, stress, low mood and lost sleep. CBT activities help you see the connection between thoughts and feelings, while a customizable sound therapy library, guided meditations, breathing exercises and sleep therapy sessions cover the practical side. A podcast series adds topics such as better breathing and healthy habits. An AI chatbot called Tinnibot walks you through therapeutic activities when you need them, and a journal and points system track your progress. You also get an in-app hearing evaluation and a free 15 minute consultation with a tinnitus expert. The weak spot is pricing clarity: the US store page lists ten subscription products, from $5.99 per month to $143.99, so read the offer on screen before you subscribe.

Beltone Tinnitus Calmer is the strongest app here that costs nothing. Beltone, part of the same GN group as ReSound, uses the same idea: a combination of sounds and relaxing exercises that distract the brain from the tinnitus so it focuses on it less over time. You keep a personal library of sound therapy files and can build your own soundscapes from environmental sounds and short pieces of music. The app tracks your usage, so you can see which sounds help most, and it adds secondary stimuli such as colors and exercises to keep your mind occupied. You listen as you would to music on your phone, and if you wear Beltone wireless hearing aids you can stream straight to them, with the sound adjusted for your hearing loss. The US store page shows the app as free with no in-app purchases. What you give up is structure: there is no CBT program or weekly plan, and Beltone says the app should be used with a plan from a hearing care professional.

myNoise is a general soundscape app, but it lists tinnitus relief as one of its main uses and it gives you more control over sound than any tinnitus-branded player here. Each of the 350+ soundscapes has its own sliders, so you can push a rain recording, a fan or a tonal drone toward the pitch of your own ringing. The White Noise and Co soundscape alone covers white, brown, green, grey and pink noise, and Creation Mode lets you combine up to 10 sliders taken from any soundscape. Every sound is built by research engineer Stéphane Pigeon from field recordings and real instruments, and it is designed for long sessions without audible looping. The app is free to download with no ads, and the US store page lists one-time purchases of $14.99 and $19.99; the developer says one purchase opens everything and keep future soundscapes. It has no tinnitus lessons, CBT or frequency matching, so treat it as a masking tool.

Tinnitus Aid is for people who want to work with their tinnitus frequency directly. You apply a bandpass filter to any sound or mix and move it up and down until it matches the ringing, then add a bandstop filter at that frequency to create a mask with that band removed. Phase4 Mobile points to published research on notched sound therapy as the basis for the approach. The controls are detailed: a range of 128 Hz to 16 kHz, filter widths from 0.1 to 4.0 octaves at 1 Hz resolution, and separate frequencies and widths for each ear with a balance control. The free version includes natural sounds, unlimited mixes of up to 4 sounds, a timer with a slow fade and a sample of the filters. A Premium subscription removes ads and gives unlimited filter use and more than 250 sounds; the US store lists Premium at $14.99 and $39.99 without naming the periods. There is no CBT or education content.

Tinnitus Therapy Pro is a focused masking app from Sound Oasis, a maker of sound therapy machines. For $5.99 you get 24 sounds: 11 white noise masking sounds, including brown, gray and pink noise and white noise at 4 kHz and 6 kHz, 7 nature recordings, and 6 musical tracks developed by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson with high-range frequencies built into the music, which makes them easier to play during the day or at night. The app works on the idea that a pleasant sound close to the frequency of your tinnitus lets the brain hear that sound instead of the ringing. A 12 band graphic equalizer lets you tune each sound and save up to 2 settings per sound, and a 5 to 120 minute timer with soft-off volume suits bedtime. The free Tinnitus Therapy Lite version has 6 sounds and sells extra packs at $0.99. There is no education or CBT content, and the app was last updated in May 2024.

AudioNotch does one thing: notched sound therapy. A free tuner helps you find the pitch of your ringing, then the app removes a narrow band of sound around that frequency from music, white noise or its 27 natural sounds. The idea, AudioNotch explains, is lateral inhibition: stimulating the frequencies around your tinnitus pitch may reduce the overactivity tied to that pitch. The treatment plan asks for one hour a day through headphones, rising to two, and a weekly recheck of your pitch. AudioNotch cites a Northwell Health randomized controlled trial, published in Otology and Neurotology in 2026, in which 65 adults were split between AudioNotch and standard care; the AudioNotch group showed a greater reduction in Tinnitus Handicap Inventory scores, with an adjusted difference of 10.02 points. Results take weeks or months and vary. Therapy costs $29 per month or $99 per year in the US, and one subscription covers the Apple apps, the website, Android and Chrome.

Oto is the only app here that comes with an audiologist attached. You get it through a participating clinic, which sets up your account, shows you where to start and reviews how you are doing. The app centers on a library of calming sounds, including white, pink and brown noise, nature sounds and soundscapes you can mix, with volume control and a sleep timer. Around it sit guided sessions of about 5 to 10 minutes that draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, short lessons about tinnitus, reminders, private notes and progress tracking you can review with your audiologist. There is no separate app subscription. Oto says a basic care plan without devices typically costs $500 to $1,000 at participating US clinics, covering an evaluation, one to one sessions, ongoing support and the app; if your plan includes hearing aids, Oto comes at no extra cost. Most clinics give around 12 months of access. Oto states it does not diagnose and does not replace professional care.

Widex Zen is built for people already in a tinnitus program with a Widex hearing care professional. The app plays a playlist of relaxing Zen sounds, which Widex describes as a sound therapy tool for treatment prescribed by a licensed professional trained in tinnitus management, and adds education on the basics of tinnitus and explained exercises. Widex recommends listening for 2 to 4 hours a day at a soft level, in quiet surroundings while you read, relax or work, and choosing a sound you find pleasant so your focus shifts away from the ringing. With hearing aids, the sounds can play alone or mixed with the surrounding sound. The app is intended for use with Widex hearing aids, either with streaming or through a COM-DEX or UNI-DEX streamer, and the Zen sounds are intended for adults 21 and older. It is free and was updated in February 2026, but without Widex devices most people will get more from ReSound or Beltone.
