How it works

Sound that skips your ears entirely.

Silene uses bone conduction — the same way you hear your own voice — to deliver a gentle, calming tone without ever going into your ears.

01The real problem

The ringing isn't the whole problem. The alarm around it is.

During the day, other sounds keep your attention busy. But when the house goes quiet at night, nothing competes with the ringing — so your attention locks onto it. That fires a low-grade alert response, and a loop begins.

… and it repeats

Researchers call it the listen–worry–listen loop. It's why bedtime is the hardest part of the day — and it's exactly what Silene is designed to interrupt.

02The mechanism

A different route to your inner ear.

Normal sound travels through the air, down your ear canal, to your eardrum. Bone conduction takes a different path — the same one that lets you hear your own voice from the inside.

Vibration through bone
The usual waySound travels through the air, down the ear canal, to the eardrum.
The Silene wayA gentle vibration through the bone, straight to your inner ear — ears stay open.

It rests on the bone just outside your ear and sends a soft tone straight to your inner ear, bypassing the ear canal completely. Nothing plugs your ears — you stay comfortable, and aware of the room.

You may not control whether the sound appears tonight. But you can change how you respond when it does.

03Sound therapy

The ringing, softened.

Once that tone reaches your inner ear, it gives your brain something calm and steady to settle on, instead of the ringing. This is sound therapy — the masking principle used for tinnitus for years, delivered through bone rather than the air.

The ringingSettled

It doesn't erase the tinnitus. It softens it — so the ringing stops being the only thing you can hear, and your mind can finally let go and drift.

04Why bone conduction

Better suited to bedtime than earbuds.

Ears stay open

Nothing sits in your ear canal. You stay aware of the room and comfortable lying down.

No noise all night

A 15-minute wind-down cue — not sound blasting into your ears until morning.

Works with hearing aids & glasses

Because it sits outside your ears, it doesn't fight either — helpful if you have hearing loss.

05The ritual

Fifteen minutes, three quiet steps.

Step 01

Slip it on

Rests on the bone just outside your ears. 12 grams, ears open.

Step 02

Start your 15 minutes

Gentle sound therapy. Set the intensity with the remote, then let it run.

Step 03

Drift off

Your mind settles on the tone instead of the ringing. Lights out.

06Honest expectations

What to honestly expect.

Silene isn't a cure — nothing cures tinnitus, and we won't pretend otherwise. What it changes is how the night feels. Some people feel calmer the first session; others need a couple of weeks of consistent use before bedtime stops feeling like a fight.

Consistency matters more than intensity. That's why every Silene comes with a 30-night trial — enough time to find out on your own nights.

Reclaim the quiet part of your night.
