Tinnitus Relief vs Playing Music or the TV
Music or the TV can cover tinnitus, but lyrics and changing scenes pull your attention and are not ideal for sleep. Tinnitus Relief offers steady, neutral masking sounds with a sleep timer.

Where Tinnitus Relief wins
Neutral masking sounds cover the ringing without grabbing your attention, which suits focus and sleep better than music or TV that pull you in.
When Playing Music or the TV still makes sense
If you simply enjoy a show or music and it happens to help, that is fine. For steady, sleep-friendly masking, the app is purpose-built.
