The Rellax app offers a variety of sound therapy tracks designed to help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus by blending therapeutic sounds with the tinnitus sound itself. Here’s how to use this feature effectively:
Accessing Sound Therapy
- Navigate to the “Stimulus” tab from the main menu to access the Rellax sound therapy tracks.

Listening to Single Track Audios

Using Multi-Track Audios
- The "Multi Track" option offers a more customizable experience by allowing you to adjust 10 different sound sliders within a single track.
- Select a multi-track sound and use the sliders to fine-tune each component of the track. This allows you to create a unique blend that matches the frequency and intensity of your tinnitus.
- Experiment with different slider settings to find the most effective combination for your relief.
Optimizing Your Experience
- It may take some time to find the perfect settings. Be patient and make adjustments as needed based on your tinnitus fluctuations.
- For the best results, use headphones and ensure you are in a quiet environment where external noises won’t interfere with your therapy.
Regular use of sound therapy can help reduce the impact of tinnitus on your daily life. Customize the sounds to suit your preferences and incorporate this therapy into your routine for long-term benefits.
