•1\. At least 18 years old
•2\. Able to make a voluntary and informed choice about whether to take part
•3\. Experience tinnitus (persistent sound in one or both ears) for the MAJORITY of the time, provided that the level of background sound is not loud enough to mask it. It is not important whether you notice the tinnitus most of the time, provided it is there if you listen out for it

•1\. Do NOT have hearing loss that is in the 'severe' or 'profound' range at the higher frequencies. Where there are such high degrees of hearing loss, it is unlikely the sounds used in the study will have any effect on the tinnitus. If you do have this level of hearing loss, but USE A HEARING AID OR COCHLEAR IMPLANT to correct this, then you CAN still take part, though we cannot guarantee that the sounds will have the same effect when used with such a device;
•2\. Do NOT have tinnitus that is 'PULSATILE', meaning that it gets significantly louder and quieter in time with your pulse. This type of tinnitus is usually described as a low\-pitched 'whooshing' sound.
