Crash

Sometimes crash, dont record all my time, Could be better. I hope to have also a good result in the end. For higher frequency I dont see difference.

New tinnitus research In a practical app

Great idea. Would love to see more audio features to allow people to more easily "tune out" there tinnitus frequencies.

Good but could be better

Great overall app. Things to improve on: -add longer choices for timer (2,5,8 hours) -ambient sounds should be longer than 2,5 min so we dont hear a down moment when sound loops.

Only plays music on your device

Does not work if you use music in the cloud like Apple Music, Spotify, Internet radio. Therefore, not usable for me and probably many. There should also be an option that makes the sound change system wide, meaning an option where one can chose to have the frequency filtered out for phone conversations, videos, games, etc., so one has the effect not only with sounds consumed through the app.

Only plays music stored on your device

Unfortunately the app only allows to play music that is stored on your device. Does not work with Apple Music, Spotify or any other cloud based services. Also, it would be nice if the sound manipulation was systemwide, not just during use within the app, but all sounds and conversations or videos one listens to on the iPhone or iPad. I cannot use the app since I have no music stored on my phone and need the space for other things.

Very Promising App with Great Potential

Im really impressed with what Ive seen so far. Its clear that the developers care about Tinnitus and wanted to design this to help with those of us who deal with the noise... The design shows a great level of care. But were not quite there yet with a comprehensive tool in the $10 range. The nails that need hammering: 1) ASAP: need a fix for audio playback which stops when you navigate through the app, or minimize it to multitask. In my humble opinion, the music that is playing through the filters should not stop until the app is closed from multitask. Should play like iTunes. 2) Not quite as ASAP as above, but each of my ears generate at least two tones: one in the 4k range, and another harmonizing tone in the higher realm around 11kHz. It would be nice to have up to 3 individual tone generators per ear. Here is whats great: 1) I love the layout from start to outputting treated music. The steps are fluid and easy for anyone, but nice and deep for audio nut like me. 2) Thank you for putting this out there -filtering has always been a hypothesis for me as possible treatment for tinnitus. I hope this works. 3) There are some great uses for musicians and audio creators. Time to play a bit outside the box with this one. Ramp up the tone generators, fix the music playback issue and you have a 5 star app worthy of your $10 price tag. Though I think it might be best to sell a little lower at first and work with your clients to make a great app that you can later charge more for. Man I hope you guys keep it up and succeed!

Very nice app - promising

Compared to the other tinnitus-oriented apps, this warrants a five-star rating, though still has some room for improvement. One thing thats a challenge, though not specifically an issue with this app is isolating the ringing/hissing tone - though its nice that you can create multiple profiles, and easily switch between them. I am hopeful the notched music therapy will help diminish the pain of tinnitus over time, and may post additional review comments after Ive used the app more. However wanted to provide early comments to others who might, like me, be wondering if the app was worthwhile. To that end, I recommend over every other tinnitus app Ive seen.

Good app

Takes a while to figure out exact settings. I would like to see a timer. My therapist recommends that I go to sleep with it and let it play about 6 hours. Hen I wake up my device is dead.

A winning app best so far

I was wary of dropping $10 on another tinnitus app but I am glad I did. The fine tuning of the tone finding function is a winner. Other apps neglect the fact that it is extremely difficult to isolate your tinnitus note(s). There may be something to the notched music theory I dont know yet but this app is easy to use and well thought out, I hit a snag trying to play my iTunes music, apple wont let me, very unhappy with this but not the apps fault. Its comforting to be able to play the right tone into your ear and make it an external noise. That alone is worth it as it shuts my tinnitus up and its easier when its a real noise you are hearing. Ten bucks for sanity...bargain. One points mentioned in earlier reviews...tinnitus often has multiple notes you have to write this in to the app. I think I have at least 3 tones. Top app. Well done and thank you. Im not easily impressed but you impressed me and this beats shelling out $400 for adobe audition to do the same thing with ten times the effort.

Well designed and easy to use

Searched for an app that would both identify mono tone tinnitus frequency and notch/band filter my music quickly an easily. This worked perfectly with very good tone generator controls and integration with my music collection (mp3). Very easy to set up multiple profiles and adjust on the fly. Only issue is you cant multitask , shut off screen, or get out of the app or your music quits- wish I could check my calendar or play chess while listening on long plane flights. Guess that is what my iPad is for now, as this app will get many hours in the hopes I can knock down the high c tone in my ears a bit. Will take months but there is a nice progress tracking feature. Based on original articles, and well worth a try. Thanks!!

What they dont tell you...

The creators of this app neglect to mention that if your tinnitus is a high pitched hissing sound, then there is no way to identify the frequency--ergo, the app will not work for you. You get to spend $10 to find this out by yourself. (I wrote to them and, big surprise, no response!)

Great

After using this app for an hour, my tinnitus is noticeably quieter. This app is amazing. Totally worth the $10.

Tech glitch

I had to delete this app and reinstall. Hopefully it will perform well this time. I can see that its more sophisticated than other programs Ive tried.

Does NOT work on iPad 3

Installed twice. Turned iPad off/on. Exited app. None works. This app doesnt work on the iPad 3. I dont want my money back; I want the app to work :)

Made my ringing considerably worse.

If you are like me, you are optimistic that one of these apps will work. I found that this one made my ringing louder and more like a hiss. It took several days to revert. No serious damage appears to have occurred, but Id review this kind of therapy with an ENT and see if there are notch therapy studies where people know what they are doing.

Thanks!

This is really useful. I can pinpoint where I have tinnitus for the first time. The interface is slick and easy to use. Totally worth ten bucks. Only problem is, when you shut your screen off, you pause the app, so your battery will die if you leave it on to sleep. fix that and its 5 stars.

Nicely polished, but has Power flaws; update coming

A really useful and nicely designed app. First, For the people who complain about the all stopping in the background, YOU NEED TO LOOK IN THE APP SETTINGS!!! There, youll find the screen and background toggles!! There are a few big flaws, yet its still worthwhile investment considering the potential for helping your tinnitus. The big MAJOR flaw is that the app is a CPU HOG; it will take 99% of the CPU when playing music!!! Second, is that you can make multiple simultaneous notches; for those of us with multiple tones. A couple other small flaws, but the designer has responded that these will be fixed and a new version should be available within the next week or so. Still, a great app and does something that you cant get with the CD systems....YOUR OWN MUSIC! NICE!

Best of the Bunch

Decided to look at Tinnitus apps to see if there was anything out there to help me. Surprised to see so many…tested a number of free apps before realizing many were a waste of time. After doing much reading and comparing Tinnitus pro seemed to be the real deal. For $10 I was taking a chance as Ive thrown so much money down the drain trying apps. So far Im very impressed, beautiful design and everything was super easy to follow, the set up directions were awesome. I have a 4S and all worked seamlessly with my music, volume controls and so on. I guess with that out of the way its all down to whether the theory behind this app really works…worth the $10 to give it a shot.

Seems to be effective

Just started using this , so I dont have the fine points down yet. This app has a lot of possibilities. An amazing app. Seems to be effective in toning down the tinnitus.

Great Therapy

Have used this app for a little over a year and it has helped reduced the perception of my tinnitus very substantially. It is like massage therapy for my brain, it has worked for me. Looking forward to the next release. I have been using ear buds the whole time and when I upgrade the app I will buy some high quality headphones!
