Question 1

What is the Habituation Score?

Accepted Answer

The Habituation Score is an AI-powered measurement (0-100) that tells you whether your tinnitus is improving over time. It combines your daily severity ratings, sleep quality, stress levels, and therapy consistency into a single, easy-to-understand number. A rising score means your brain is successfully habituating to the tinnitus signal. It is the only tool of its kind — no other tinnitus app provides objective progress tracking.

Question 2

How is the Habituation Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The score uses 4 weighted factors: severity trend (40% — is your tinnitus loudness decreasing?), sleep quality trend (25% — is your sleep improving?), stress level trend (20% — is your stress decreasing?), and consistency (15% — how many consecutive days have you tracked?). Additional bonuses are applied for therapy adherence. The algorithm compares your last 7 days against your previous 28-day baseline to detect real trends, not daily fluctuations.

Question 3

How often should I track to get an accurate score?

Accepted Answer

Track daily for at least 7 consecutive days to establish a reliable baseline. The score becomes more accurate with more data — 14+ consecutive days provides strong trend detection, and 28+ days gives the most reliable picture of your habituation progress. Missing a day will not reset your score, but consistency significantly improves accuracy.

Question 4

What should I do if my Habituation Score is not improving?

Accepted Answer

First, check your consistency — are you tracking daily? Next, review your triggers. If your Habituation Score shows stress as the dominant trigger, focus on stress management techniques like the 4-7-8 breathing exercise. If sleep quality is lagging, use our SleepGuard tool with brown noise at bedtime. If severity is not improving, ensure you are using our frequency-matched sound therapy and notched therapy consistently. Small adjustments often produce measurable improvements within 2 weeks.

Question 5

Is the Habituation Score scientifically validated?

Accepted Answer

The Habituation Score algorithm is built on established audiology research including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI), and the habituation model used in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). While the score itself is a proprietary AudioCleanAI innovation, each component — severity tracking, sleep assessment, stress measurement, and therapy adherence — corresponds to validated clinical endpoints used by audiologists worldwide.
