Pretty good so far
A composer with tinnitus
I have tried several methods to quiet the high-pitched ringing in my head and now I'm trying this. It has a range of programs to either charm or distract you or, as the ad says, reprogram your brain. This seems to follow the psychological theory that it's stress-related. The other idea is that you need to phase-cancel out the ringing, not mask it with a blend of other sounds. All assuming that either approach(and the app to do it with) can work. We'll see. BTW I had the same problem of not being able to turn off the New Age shtick and only listen to my own chosen music--very annoying and EASILY FIXABLE!
I've found it helpful

I find that when my tinnitus is overwhelming, or when its keeping me up at night, the sounds generated by this app can provide very helpful relief. You match a tone generated by the app with the pitch of your tinnitus and layer in soothing sounds that play over the tone. As others have commented, its a bit tricky to understand, and the UI is indeed not good, but I appreciate that the app developers didn't let that hold them back from making this helpful app available.
App no longer works after update

It is no longer possible to set the frequency. The UI control is not responding. Previous profiles load but don't work. I got it working by deleting and reinstalling the app. It appears there are issues migrating old profiles.
Shaky Science, Good Masking, Awful UI

Edited Review: My tinnitus has gotten noticeably worse since I began using this app a month ago; it’s impossible to demonstrate correlation, of course. I used it as per the directions The masking features (described below) still work well however; so I’m lowering my rating from three stars to two. My original review: The science of tinnitus suppression through audio restimulus is pretty shaky and inconclusive. Do not, therefore, hope for a cure from any of these sound-based apps or other products. But Tinnitus Help has some good masking features that I’ve found temporarily mask my worst rounds with tinnitus. Some of the benefits have lasted for as long as an hour after “treatment.” The user interface (UI) is awful, and the directions are barely in English. Here are a few tricks: the first few steps are about mimicking the sound of your tinnitus. Set those parameters to a low volume, but they should be audible. I found that takes quite a while to get right, but it makes a difference. Then you’re supposed to add masking: you can choose from a few nature sounds. Set the volume so that you can just barely hear the tinnitus sound that you set up earlier. Next you add your music. The pre-programmer stuff works best for me.
