What if you can't stop the tinnitus?
There is no required order of noise colors for tinnitus. Compare soft sounds you find pleasant, such as a gentle noise texture or rain. Aim for less contrast and easier listening, rather than making the tinnitus completely inaudible.
A gentle background sound can make tinnitus less noticeable for some people. Choose a comfortable texture and level without trying to overpower the ringing. Keep the sound gentle and take a break if listening becomes uncomfortable. You can't stop the tinnitus

What does the carrier slider do?
The carrier is the audible pitch of the tones. Where the player offers pitch adjustment, choose a comfortable setting and keep the volume low. Changing the carrier does not change the difference between the tones, which sets the binaural beat rate.

How do you choose a beat?

Is tinnitus a beat?
No. Tinnitus is hearing a sound without an external source, not an audio track or a binaural beat. A gentle external background can make it less prominent for some people; that is a separate listening choice.
Does changing the pitch change the beat?
No. The beat rate is the difference between the two tones. Adjusting their carrier pitch together keeps that difference unchanged; it changes how high or low the tones sound.
