SherlockEQ 0.8.0

A reworked Tinnitus Notch. Two behavior fixes correct how the notch filter actually sounds, and the Tinnitus Notch screen gets strength presets, a live preview of the band being reduced, a guided pitch-matching flow, and an optional daily check-in.

Fixed

• The notch's Depth slider now actually changes the sound. Previously the notch always cut all the way to silence at its center frequency no matter what Depth was set to — the slider had no audible effect. Depth now works as labeled: a shallower setting leaves more of the sound in place, a deeper one reduces it further.
• Narrow and Wide were swapped. The Width control's Narrow setting was actually broader than Wide. They're corrected now: Narrow affects the smallest band around your selected pitch, Wide the largest.
• The right ear's notch now shows up on the equalizer curve. When left and right ears had different notch settings, only the left ear's cut appeared on the frequency-response graph — the right ear's was invisible even though it was being applied correctly to the audio. Both ears now draw correctly on the Simple, Speech, Advanced, and Expert tabs.

Improved

• Strength presets: Subtle, Balanced, Strong. Pick a preset instead of tuning Depth and Width by hand. Each is labeled with its trade-off — Subtle keeps audio clearest, Strong reduces more but can sound duller. The fine-tune sliders are still there if you want manual control.
• A live preview of the notch. The Tinnitus Notch screen now draws the actual shape of the band being reduced — center frequency, depth, and width — instead of just a line marking the pitch. Both ears show at once when your left and right notches differ.
• Guided pitch-matching. An optional walkthrough helps you find a repeatable match: sweep up from below, check for octave confusion, and capture a few matches to get a suggested average and range instead of relying on a single guess.
• Clearer guidance on when a notch helps. The screen now explains that a notch suits steady, tone-like ringing and is less useful for hissing, roaring, clicking, pulsing, or shifting tinnitus — and calls out pulsatile, sudden one-sided, or dizziness-accompanied symptoms as reasons to see a hearing professional instead.
• An optional daily check-in. Rate how much your tinnitus bothered you today — not how loud it seemed — and see a simple trend over time. It's not a clinical score, just a way to notice whether things are trending better.
