Tinnitus loudness isn't constant.
Find what changes it.
Tinnitus loudness, pitch, and intrusiveness vary across the day in patterns most people don't notice without tracking. Sleep, stress, caffeine, noise exposure, and TMJ tension all influence perception. Daily logging reveals what makes yours worse or better.

How it helps with Tinnitus
Quantify what feels random
Tinnitus often feels uncontrollable. Tracking shows that loudness actually correlates with specific factors for you — sleep, stress, caffeine, or noise exposure.
Separate loudness from distress
Intrusiveness (how much it bothers you) is often more responsive to treatment than loudness itself. Tracking them separately lets you measure interventions like CBT or sound therapy.
Audiologist-ready data
Most tinnitus clinics ask you to keep a diary. The exported report does that more thoroughly than a paper diary, and surfaces patterns you wouldn't spot manually.
Questions people actually ask
- How do I measure tinnitus "loudness" without a clinical tool?
- Use a personal 0–10 scale and stay consistent. Many people anchor "5" as their typical baseline and "10" as their worst recent episode. The exact calibration doesn't matter — the relative trend does.
- Why track "intrusiveness" separately from loudness?
- They're different. A loud tinnitus moment in a quiet bedroom is more intrusive than the same loudness during a busy day. Treatment (like CBT) often reduces intrusiveness more than loudness — tracking both shows what's actually improving.
- What context factors matter for tinnitus?
- Sleep quality, caffeine, alcohol, stress, noise exposure (concerts, headphones), and TMJ/jaw tension are the most commonly reported. Some people also see correlations with weather, blood pressure, or specific medications.
- I have tinnitus only sometimes — is this still useful?
- Even more so. Intermittent tinnitus is harder to characterize without tracking. Logging on quiet days too (intensity 0) reveals the actual frequency and any temporal pattern.
- Is this useful for hyperacusis or misophonia?
- Yes, the same tracking shape applies. Substitute "noise sensitivity" or "trigger sound exposure" for the loudness symptom. The app accepts custom symptom and factor definitions.
- How should I prepare for an audiologist visit?
- Bring 60–90 days of logs in the printable health report. Highlight any clear correlations (e.g., loudness vs. caffeine intake) — many audiologists appreciate quantified context over verbal description.
