Creator of MyNoise shares how befriending tinnitus helped it disappear.

Stéphane Pigeon presents sound-based strategies for managing tinnitus: white noise, natural masking sounds, tuned noise, notched noise, and his Tinnitus Neuromodulator. He also describes a personal approach: changing his relationship with tinnitus instead of fighting it, which he says finally worked. The video links to an online hearing test and several MyNoise generators.
