## Guides
- [How to sleep with tinnitus](https://lullwell.app/guides/how-to-sleep-with-tinnitus/): Don't sleep in silence. Play a steady, pleasant sound such as rain, a fan or brown noise just below the level of your tinnitus, so the ringing blends in. Keep a regular wake time, wind down without screens, and if you lie awake for about 20 minutes, get up and do something calm.
- [Tinnitus relief at night](https://lullwell.app/guides/tinnitus-relief-at-night/): At night, add a low, steady sound such as rain or brown noise so the room isn't silent, then slow your breathing with long out-breaths. If a spike keeps you awake for more than about 20 minutes, get up somewhere dim, do something calm, and return when sleepy. Most spikes settle within hours to days.
- [Does white noise help tinnitus?](https://lullwell.app/guides/does-white-noise-help-tinnitus/): For many people, yes: low, steady white, pink or brown noise makes tinnitus less noticeable and easier to ignore, especially in quiet rooms and at night. It doesn't cure tinnitus, and research on sound therapy is limited, but guidelines list it as a reasonable option. Keep it just below your tinnitus, never loud.
- [The best sounds for tinnitus](https://lullwell.app/guides/best-sounds-for-tinnitus/): The best sounds for tinnitus are steady, pleasant and free of melody: brown, pink or white noise, rain, a stream, ocean waves or a fan. Play them just below your tinnitus so it blends in. For tonal ringing, notched sound tuned to your pitch is another option. The right sound is the one you can comfortably ignore.
- [Notched sound therapy for tinnitus, explained](https://lullwell.app/guides/notched-sound-therapy/): Notched sound therapy plays music or noise with a narrow gap removed around the pitch of your tinnitus. The idea is to rest the over-active nerve cells tuned to that pitch. Early studies reported less loudness for some people with tonal tinnitus, but later trials were mixed. It needs an accurate pitch match.
- [Ringing in your ears after a concert](https://lullwell.app/guides/tinnitus-after-a-concert/): Ringing after a concert means your ears took in more sound than they could comfortably handle. It often fades within a day or two. Rest your ears and avoid more loud noise. See a doctor promptly if hearing stays muffled, one ear suddenly hears much less, or the ringing lasts beyond a couple of weeks.
- [Tinnitus and anxiety](https://lullwell.app/guides/tinnitus-and-anxiety/): Tinnitus and anxiety often feed each other: worry makes the brain treat the sound as a threat and keep checking on it, which makes it more noticeable and more upsetting. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), relaxation, steady background sound and better sleep can help break that loop. Talk to your doctor if anxiety affects daily life.
- [Tinnitus: when to see a doctor](https://lullwell.app/guides/when-to-see-a-doctor/): Most tinnitus is not a sign of anything dangerous. See a doctor the same day if you suddenly lose hearing, or have tinnitus with facial weakness, severe dizziness or a severe headache. Book an appointment soon if it pulses with your heartbeat, is only in one ear, or is affecting your sleep or mood.
