Tinnitus masking that adapts to your room, in real time.
NeuralCore is a tinnitus relief app that listens to your room and glides its masking volume to stay just above the ambient noise floor — a whisper when it's quiet, a little more when it isn't. The ringing stays covered. Nothing jars you awake.

Tap a room. Watch the masking glide — never a jump, never past the ceiling.
Tinnitus is loudest exactly when the room goes quiet.
Falling asleep. Working in silence. Late at night. The ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears cuts through the moment things go still — and generic white-noise apps play at one fixed volume: too quiet to cover it, or loud enough to become its own source of stress. Most people just keep reaching for the slider.
Too quiet
Set it low for sleep and the ring slices right through the moment the fan cycles off.
Too loud
Set it high enough to cover and it wakes you, or turns into fatigue and stress of its own.
Never right
Rooms change all night. A fixed level can't be correct at 11pm and 4am both.
How adaptive tinnitus masking works.
A closed loop between your room and your ears: the adaptive engine runs a simple, honest cycle many times a second — entirely on your device.
Listen
The mic samples the ambient noise floor. Audio is analyzed on-device in the moment — never recorded, never uploaded, never leaves the phone.
Adapt
The masking volume glides to sit just above that floor. Quiet room, whisper. Noisy room, a little more — always a smooth ramp, never a click or jump.
Protect
A hard safety ceiling caps the output no matter how loud the room gets, so it can never climb to an uncomfortable level. On either tier.
Built for people who tried the white-noise apps and wanted more.
Adaptive masking
The core differentiator: mic-driven, real-time masking volume that tracks your room instead of sitting still.
Personalized notch filter
Match your own tinnitus pitch and NeuralCore carves a small dip out of the masking sound at exactly that frequency — notched sound therapy, inspired by clinical tinnitus research.
White, pink & brown noise
Three calibrated masking textures so you can find the one your ears settle into.
Unlimited background play
Keeps running with the screen off or the app backgrounded — all night, no interruptions.
Sync across devices
Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and your settings follow you, phone to tablet.
Hard safety ceiling
A firm output cap on every tier — it can never get uncomfortably loud.
Tuned to your tinnitus pitch, not a preset.
Tinnitus has a frequency. In onboarding you match yours, and NeuralCore carves a narrow notch out of the masking sound right there — notched sound therapy, a technique from clinical tinnitus research, brought into an everyday app.
The rest of the spectrum keeps doing the masking. The dip sits precisely where your ringing lives.
Honest about what it does
Masking makes tinnitus easier to live with — it isn't a cure, and we're clear about that up front.
Private by default
The mic only measures how loud your room is, and all of it happens on your phone in the moment. Nothing is recorded. Nothing is uploaded. And a plain-language screen explains exactly why we ask — before the system permission prompt ever appears.

Common questions about tinnitus masking.
What is tinnitus masking?
Tinnitus masking plays gentle background sound — such as white, pink, or brown noise — at a level that covers the ringing, buzzing, or hissing of tinnitus, making it easier for your brain to tune it out. It's one of the most widely used relief techniques for sleeping and concentrating with tinnitus.
Does masking cure tinnitus?
No — and NeuralCore never claims to. Masking eases tinnitus by covering it while the sound plays; it doesn't treat the underlying cause. If your tinnitus is new, sudden, one-sided, or comes with hearing loss, see a doctor or audiologist first.
How is NeuralCore different from a white noise app?
Ordinary white-noise and sleep apps play at one fixed volume — either too quiet to cover tinnitus or too loud to sleep through. NeuralCore uses your phone's microphone to measure the room and adjusts the masking volume in real time, keeping it just above the ambient noise floor all night, with a hard safety ceiling so it can never get uncomfortably loud.
What is notched sound therapy?
Notched sound therapy removes a narrow band of frequencies from the masking sound at your personal tinnitus pitch. In NeuralCore Premium you match your pitch during onboarding, and the notch filter carves that dip out of the noise — a technique inspired by clinical tinnitus research.
Does the microphone record or upload my audio?
No. The microphone is used only to measure how loud your room is, and that measurement happens on your phone in the moment. Nothing is ever recorded, stored, or uploaded.
Is NeuralCore free?
Yes — the free tier includes white noise and a 30-minute sleep timer, works without an account, and is genuinely usable long-term. Premium adds adaptive masking, pink and brown noise, the notch filter, unlimited background play, and cross-device sync, with a 7-day free trial.
Which sound is best for tinnitus — white, pink, or brown noise?
It varies by person and by tinnitus pitch. White noise is bright and even; pink noise shifts energy toward lower frequencies and often feels softer; brown noise is deeper still, like distant rain. Higher-pitched tinnitus often blends best with brighter noise, but the right answer is the one your ears settle into — NeuralCore Premium includes all three.
