The Science Behind TinniPax

Understanding Tinnitus

Tinnitus — the perception of sound without an external source — affects approximately 10-15% of the global population. It most commonly manifests as ringing, buzzing, or hissing and can significantly impact quality of life.

Tinnitometry

Tinnitometry is the process of identifying the frequency and loudness of tinnitus. Our platform uses pure-tone matching with narrow-band noise to help pinpoint the characteristics of your tinnitus with clinical precision.

High-Definition Audiometry

Standard audiograms test hearing at octave frequencies (250 Hz to 8 kHz). TinniPax extends this to 11 kHz with inter-octave frequencies, providing a more complete picture of your hearing — especially in the high-frequency range where tinnitus and hearing loss most commonly overlap.

IPAL Sound Therapy

Individualised Patient Augmented Loudness (IPAL) therapy uses a notch filter centred on your tinnitus frequency. By removing the tinnitus frequency from soothing background sounds (rain, pink noise, dark noise), IPAL reduces the brain's attention to the tinnitus signal, promoting habituation over time.
