Does this help with tinnitus while sleeping? null

They help to a degree. The volume is adjustable but even at full volume, it's not real loud. However some of the sounds come across as being louder than others (the rain events for example) but the "warm static" is not loud at all, so some of the sounds more or less "mix" with the ringing rather than wipe it out. The one that probably wipes it out the best is the "campfire" as it has crickets in the background which is near the same frequency as the ringing but I find the sound kind of harsh compared to the more mellow options. The earbuds are super comfortable and the sounds are well implemented with good fidelity as you might expect from Bose. The tinnitus is fairly new for me and varies in intensity but seems to be worse when I try to sleep. Some nights I just run the warm noise generator (which might disturb others) but sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night and put in these earphones and I think they help me get back to sleep. I think it's worth a try with the 14 day return period.

It depends on which sound you select. I found the campfire sound with the background sound of crickets works in my case to mask the steady tinnitus sound in my right ear. You would have to try the various sounds for yourself to see which if any would be effective.

I have tinnitus that rings at about 7500 hz - 8000 hz. I used a synth to play straight noise and an EQ to find the frequency range that masked my tinnitus. These Bose sleepbuds do not have sounds that run in these frequencies so I can still hear my tinnitus fairly loud even with these. If your tinnitus falls within the same frequencies that Bose uses in the app. they might work well for you. I'm hoping that in the future Bose creates audio noise files designed for people with tinnitus. It really wouldn't be that difficult to use white noise along with an EQ to mask both tinnitus sounds and lower frequency sounds like snoring. I'm not sure why Bose didn't implement this. It would literally cost them nothing to produce audio loops with various noise frequencies blocking both lower frequencies and higher/mid frequencies (like most tinnitus).
