tinnitus help - dead easy to use, sit back and relax
I recently downloaded the tinnitus help App on my iPhone. After reading the instructions, I had a play with the controls to set everything up to my needs. I moved backwards and forwards a few times to get it just right for my tinnitus. What can I say?...I love it!! It is very easy to use and I could feel it starting to take effect immediately. I showed it to my husband and let him listen to the sounds of nature (after having switched the other controls to silence), now I am in danger of losing my iPhone because he wants to listen to them, just to relax. The sounds of nature are fantastic. Turn them on, close your eyes and start dreaming and relaxing. This was money very well spent!! A big thank you to the makers.
Dead easy to use. Read the instructions, then have a little play and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Almost better than Neuromonics
This app is almost better than the expensive ($4,000 USD) Neuromonics device that I tried for a month. The build quality and frequency response on the Neuromonics device are poor and the thought of carrying yet another electronic gadget and wired headphones was very unattractive.
Worse, the Neuromonics system stopped masking my tinnitus within hours of getting home with it. I believe the demo sound files were a better fit for me than the custom files I got to take home. Getting retested and updated sound files from the audiologist was a slow and expensive process and I gave up without ever getting a good set of files.
This app does not solve the 'two device' problem since the app does not function with the iPhone in sleep mode and it does not run in the background on iOS 4.x. Check your email, read an ebook, or preserve battery life and your tinnitus therapy will stop cold. When this is improved I'll add a star or two to the review.
This app provides lots of options for creating a useful masking sound. I have never been able to get a frequency match, no matter what the tool or testing procedure. The pink, red brown, and white noise generators in this app are proving to be very useful in my case. On top of that you can layer one of 12 nature sounds and one of only two simple instrumental music tracks.
The resulting therapy isn't exactly like Neuromonics. In that process they apparently do not simply 'layer' sound on top of sound but use a subtractive process that results in the music having rapidly spaced gaps that allow the tinnitus matched sounds to peek through.
The instructions for setting maximum volume are poorly written / translated into English but are close enough. With no way to run the app in the background or sleep the device, touching the screen accidentally or putting the iPhone in a pocket will likely stop the sound.
It currently seems impossible to set the iPhone volume with sufficient precision using the hardware rocker switch on the side of the phone. The app really needs a master volume control that will make it easier to fine tune the therapy volume to levels between any two adjacent settings on the iPhone. For example, between 'mute' and the first lowest volume setting on the iPhone is a large jump if you use noise isolating earphones. I'd like to set the app volume to levels between the steps available on the device.
I was determined to call the audiologist on Monday after struggling with another sleepless night but am glad I did an app search (yet again) for a Neuromonics replacement. With endless options to tweak the masking sounds in this app, it should be easy to keep the tinnitus well masked. I doubt that any app or Neuromonics have true value in treating tinnitus but this app can provide some peace.

tinnitis help
I have used this app for just over a week now, and just upgraded to v1.17 & I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was suffering from VERY loud tinnitis and was not sure how to deal with it as there is no real cure for it. I saw that there were cheaper versions of tinnitis help programs on the Apps store and other places but this one sounded much better from the outlines for a few dollars more and I am sure I was correct.
I have used the program 2-3 times a day for up to an hour each time and I have already had some substantial drop in the effect of my tinnitis. It feels as if it has mostly gone away, even though I know it can't be totally fixed. I now only have slight ringing and often do not have any sound. Silence can be SO golden. It's hard to believe the good felling of getting rid of the 24 hour noise in my head.
If you want something to help your tinnitis I strongly recommend this product even though it costs a few dollars more than the other apps.
