STOP TINNITUS
HELP
Getting Started
What is Stop Tinnitus? ▼
Stop Tinnitus is a platform built to help you understand your tinnitus — not just manage it. It combines a personalized assessment grounded in peer-reviewed research, an AI Coach trained on your specific profile, sound-based tools from the lab, and a continuously updated feed of relevant clinical research. We're not a treatment provider and we don't promise a cure. We're trying to give everyone with tinnitus the information and tools to make better decisions about their condition.
How do I complete my profile? ▼
Go to Assessment and complete all 6 phases. It takes about 10–15 minutes and covers your tinnitus origin, sound characteristics, subtypes, impact, triggers, and treatment history. You can edit your profile anytime from Profile → Edit Profile.
What's the difference between Free and Premium? ▼
Everything on the platform is available to free users. The only difference with Premium is unlimited AI Coach queries — free users get 5 per day, or 10 after completing the feedback survey. We are working hard towards making the AI Coach free and unlimited. Upgrade at /upgrade.
Tinnitus Lab
How do I find my tinnitus frequency in the Lab? ▼
Open the Lab and use the Frequency Matcher. Adjust the slider until the generated tone best matches your tinnitus pitch. Most tinnitus falls between 4,000–10,000 Hz. Once selected, this frequency is saved to your profile and used automatically for notched audio therapy sessions.
What does a positive RI (Residual Inhibition) result mean? ▼
After a sound exposure, if your tinnitus temporarily becomes quieter or disappears, that's a positive RI response. It means your tinnitus is responsive to sound-based interventions — a good sign for therapies like masking and notched audio. The Lab tracks your RI response history.
AI Coach
What does the AI Coach know about me? ▼
The AI Coach receives your tinnitus profile (subtypes, triggers, impact scores) and recent data. It does not see your email, real name, or any personally identifiable information.
Why am I limited to 5 AI Coach queries on Free? ▼
AI processing has a real cost per message. Free users get 5 queries per day. You can unlock 10 daily queries by completing a short feedback survey in the Coach. Premium removes the limit entirely.
Research
Where does the research come from? ▼
Articles are automatically fetched from PubMed and active recruiting trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, filtered to your tinnitus subtypes. Each article includes an AI Coach Summary — a plain-language takeaway written specifically for tinnitus sufferers.
