Expensive and can’t use HSA.
It worked for me!
I’ve been struggling with tinnitus for the past 7 years, and this app has truly helped change my life. I’ve tried so many different things over the years hoping to find relief, and honestly, AudioCardio has had the greatest impact by far.
My tinnitus was severely exacerbating my anxiety and depression, but AudioCardio has helped minimize the ringing and reduced how much I focus on it throughout the day. I genuinely feel more like my old self again.
Thank you to the AudioCardio team for developing this app and creating something that can make such a meaningful difference. It has helped me immensely.
Thank you, AudioCardio!

Still messed us/buggy
I paid for subscription and barely got to use it as it intermittently kept insisting that I didn’t have a subscription despite charging my credit card.
Bugs and issues that are never fixed
I have been using AudioCardio regularly for over a year. I do think it has made a small but noticeable difference in lessening my hearing loss.
But the app itself has major issues which hamper its usefulness. Nearly every usage session, the volume seems to gradually increase if its own accord, until I can easily hear the tones in my ear, which is not only annoying, but it renders the “therapy” useless. Pausing the therapy and resuming temporarily fixes the volume issue, but I often need to do this 20+ times during each session.
The app also frequently “forgets” that I have a paid subscription even though I’ve just logged in. annoyingly, the app also makes you log in every single time rather than keeping you logged in as it used to.
There hasn’t been an update in over a year and I don’t think the developer is investing in any improvements to the app. I did renew my subscription after the first year but it remains to be seen whether I will do so again.

Cancelled subscription yet charged for renewal; no response to complaint.
Tried the app and set up renewal payment in the Apple App Store as required. Unfortunately I could not use the app as intended so cancelled via the Apple App Store well before the end of the trial period. I received a billing/payment notification despite having cancelled…reached out to their support email and have yet to get any reply. Will go through the dispute process with the CC company for a refund.
Beware of this company if you transact via the Apple App Store…you may get an unpleasant experience

Best thing I’ve done
I was using it for a few years, slight but notable difference. Till I found out I had otosclerosis. Two stapeadectomys later Audio Cardio has not only helped recover from surgery but helped reduce the tinnitus that was a symptom of the OS. Started at 41/100 in 2020, one surgery at the end of 24 and the second in middle of 25. Restarted the app with a 60/100, and now Currently at 83/100!

Works
Have to be consistent
Usage in background broken
This app had been great for so long but over the last several months is appears you cannot have I running in the background when you are using other apps, this wasn’t the case previously. For the massive monthly subscription charged this shouldn’t be a problem. I will be cancelling.
Great concept, poor functioning app
I believe that there is merit in this concept and that this company is onto something but the app just does not function well at all. I have pretty severe tinnitus and high frequency hearing loss and have used this app for a couple of years off and on. I’ve tried to love it and again fine merit in the concept, but the app fails to function on a daily basis and is super frustrating, especially considering the cost. Sometimes it allows me to listen to music or books while running AudioCardio in the background, but often it just pauses the program. The reminders are intrusive and annoying. Most detrimental is that my scores/tinnitus/hearing have not improved after using it for years.

Works but needs improvement
This app does what it says in terms of running sets of high and low frequency sounds - but it’s flakey. Sometimes it won’t run in the background so you have to have it open and running and can’t use your phone with anything else. Also, it doesn’t always run at the same volume - might be because of something the AirPods Pro are doing with dynamic noise adjustments - not sure - so that’s a problem.
Otherwise - it’s fairly unique in its value - so it’s good for that.

It works
My hearing is improving. I have low level tinnitus but my ears were also spontaneously ringing from time to time. This doesn’t happen when I do my therapy. I’m also seeing my scores improve on the app, and noticing I’m asking people to repeat themselves less frequently. I also struggle with excessive sensitivity to noise associated with hearing loss, and this therapy has helped me significantly with this issue as well. Highly recommend

This app is garbage
So frustrating. First of all they give you a 14 day free trial which is just shy of the time it takes to see if it does any good. Secondly, the app just stops working while you’re walking around thinking you’re in therapy(you can’t tell it stopped working because the therapy is “silent”) The app tells you thru your headphones that the therapy stopped only about 35 percent of the time . So you you’ll be walking around like a dink for an hour and half and look down to see it stopped working at 3 minutes in. I cannot believe Apple allows junk like this on their platform . I’ve been trying to faithfully try this at a cost of $14 dollars for about 3 weeks now. ZERO , ZILCH except wasted time and life restarting the app. It’s a scam

Expensive
Unintuitive and expensive (subscription)
So-so
A couple things: 1. I am not seeing any changes in my hearing. My scores are staying about the same. A little fluctuations up and down. No pattern of improvement. 2. When listening to music, the music is way too loud; and the audio indicators of “half way there” and “sound therapy completed” are so loud that if I am not watching the timer and expecting the voice, I jump out of my skin because of how loud the voice is.
All of these seems pretty counter-intuitive to the purpose of the app.

No Tinnitus Relief
I have been using for five months and I have not experienced any tinnitus relief. I was doubtful when I subscribed since Tinnitus is caused by inner ear parts touching. I didn’t understand how sound therapy could help and I was right…ZERO change. $100 is VERY expensive for a magic elixir that does not work. Don’t waste your time or $s if you are looking for Tinnitus relief.

Not Sure, concerned about dizziness and damage to hearing…
I tried the trial; t was hard to determine any results so I paid for a month.
After 4 weeks of daily use for 1 hour I’ve noticed that the hearing fluctuates. According to the app, it’s sometimes a couple points better and then goes back close to the original score. I use it for one hour daily as directed.
Yesterday I could hear faint but distinct sounds similar to the therapy, without using the app, so I only did 30 minutes instead of 60. Today my score dropped significantly, slightly lower than my original score before starting the therapy.
I’ve been having mild dizziness after starting this, which is concerning.
So I’m really not sure if this is causing hearing damage, as some reviews mention, but the score also slightly improved by a couple of points before going back down.
I don’t notice much difference in the hearing except that the very faint buzzing in one ear might be very slightly less.
I’m not sure if I’ll continue for the next month. I’d suggest starting with the standard plan and just try one month first.
I paid for premium for 1 month but am prompted to only use the standard settings, so it’s a waste of $ for premium.
Figuring out the premium settings is a job for an ear specialist.
Also the therapy is supposed to be inaudible but after careful taking the test over and over, it constantly sets the therapy loud enough to hear. I see other complaints about this, hopefully the company will finally address it.

Great idea, weak practicalities
I have to agree entirely with glukey's review of 5 years ago. And I found the Audiocardio app tricky to upload (they don't say upfront it's not intended for a Mac desktop - and it should be because some of us oldies are not only a bit deaf but also struggle with tiny smartphones).
There needs to be much better user info, more logical navigation, and a note to point out that some hearing aids will invalidate the initial hearing test because they incorporate 'smart' features that suppress very quiet sounds, even on Bluetooth.
To be positive, it is a great concept, the company were quick with Support today. I hope they'll take on board this and any other feedback.

It works!
This has really helped reduce my tinnitus. I’ve been using pretty consistently since April. I don’t always complete an hour of the therapy, sometimes I only have time for a half hour or twenty minutes.. but I have noticed changes in my hearing. I can now hear people I work with better when previously I had to say “what?” All the time and ended up avoiding certain people because I couldn’t hear them. Be patient when using this.. it’s not a miracle overnight. It does require commitment. I’m so thankful for this app!

Requires subscription
The app doesn’t do anything without paying for a subscription. Theres no reason this app needs a subscription. Total scam.
