I have used this for 7+ years precisely because I have tinnitus. I have used cheaper brand and apps on cell phones and can always hear a loop noise. I take mine with me even when I travel for business!

Yes, but only partially. There are many various conditions that cause ringing. Tinnitus, Cranial Hypertension are the worst along with hearing loss due to explosions some suffer from. This machine will help but you may need a stronger machine or another device depending on your husbands needs.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I bought the same one and most of the time I can't get it to ring at all! I've tried replacing the battery, several times and it doesn't help. I am very disappointed with this item. Maybe someone out there has a few answers for my problem?? I would not recommend this item to anyone. I was really looking forward to having the "Christmas chime" during the holidays too - what a disappointment! I've since taken it down. Plus the blue light is so dim you can hardly see it, and I live in an area that is pitch black at night which makes it even that much harder to see! Beware, do not purchase this item, try a different one!

it depends on where you set the volume. My husband doesn't hear it during the night. If you have the volume up they will. I put the speaker under my ear so the volume can be low, just make a dent in your pillow and put you ear on the speaker works great for me.

Advantage is, so far the Holmes fans haven't started clanging.Since I had to get used to people living above me again, I got two Holmes fans...one for each side of my head.I also use a noise maker with them...rain or stream sounds. But I think the slight vibration of the Holmes fans, or of the air, which youdo not get from the noise maker, is also an aid to sleep.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

So, I actually have some roommates who can be rather noisy at night, if you catch my drift. It's mad annoying, so I've taken to trying to block it out when it happens. I can say that the noise isolation (with no music) is solid, but not incredible. But honestly, it's about as good as any non-fitted pair of earplugs I've tried. If you combine that with actually playing some really light music (I literally put my iPod on the lowest volume setting it can go), then usually you're in good shape. The only downside is that you've got earplugs in while you sleep. Which means you either have to sleep entirely on your back (which I can do sometimes). Orr... I take one out, sleep on my side, and keep the other one in. This also works decently well since my ear without an earplug is in the pillow, and thus solidly blocked from sound. Also, for music, I recommend chill instrumental music. I've tried other things, but have occasionally been woken up by random parts of a song that get loud.

If you are asking about the Marsona sound machine, I think it would definitely make the snoring much less noticeable. It may not drown it out, but it masks the sound so it makes sleeping with a snorer much less irritating. It does have a volume control, so you can actually turn it up quite a bit. That helps too.

As ColoradoWest mentioned, you may be able to hear some of the loop patterns repeating, but only in some of the sounds. Most of them are very smooth.I also tried the Ecotones Sound Machine (http://www.amazon.com/Ecotones-Sound-Sleep-Machine-ASM1002/dp/B002SMJQT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1397818041&sr;=8-1&keywords;=adaptive+sound+technologies+sound%2Bsleep), and I think for the most part the sounds are more uniform and blend better in the background than the Sound Oasis. But either machine is great anyway!

We use this in our bedroom at night, usually. It is pretty loud (and when the container is close to full, it rattles fiercely). We are able to sleep fairly well with it on, but it took transition time. It has become a "white noise." But, if you are accustomed to silent-running appliances, then this is not a good option for you.

The machine stays on all night, unless you use the timer, ie. set it to go off at 30 min, 60 min, etc. I just leave mine on all night, usually on white noise or waterfall sounds. I use it every night; one of my best purchases ever.

Not that I am aware of...it is more of a beeping crescendo...I'll be honest...I'm a light sleeper and have slept through the alarm function numerous times...but it may work for another person...it is nice to have three settings and I still utilize it for a back-up alarm...

Hi, My wife and I have mild tinnitus but have not used this for that condition. What works for us is taking Ginko twice a day. It takes a good month for it to build up in your system. We have been taking it for over 15 years now.

I always have the sound machine on when baby is asleep. Because I can hear the sound machine via the monitor, I know the monitor is working. I can still hear the slightest noise baby makes.

This is a machine that is designed to help you get to sleep. Why on earth would you want to listen with the TV on? When the machine senses any noise that will interfere with your sleep, it gets a little louder. If you read the description, it says "This system continuously and automatically "listens" for ambient noise that can disrupt your calm state. Adaptive Sound technology responds to intrusive noises by remixing sound profiles and adjusting the volume to mask the noise without becoming disruptive itself." It is made for sleeping.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

These would definitely help. I have the Exact same problem with the dogs next to me. I wear these earplugs constantly, day and night. I still hear the dogs, but at least the noise is tolerable. I also have 'white noise', the constant drone of a fan in the bedroom, which helps mask the noise. Great 1-2 combination to help me sleep.

John - the ringers can be raised or lowered. "Very loud" is subjective to each individual. We believe it gets rather loud. Thanks!
