## What is Starkey Relax?

Ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking, and hissing are words which can be used to describe tinnitus, the perception of sound in your ear(s) or head when no external sound is present.  While there is no cure for tinnitus, treatment options such as sound therapy and counseling can provide relief.

The Starkey Relax app is an informational resource and self-management tool, which is intended for incorporation into a hearing professional’s sound therapy protocol for patients diagnosed with tinnitus.  Sound therapy uses sound to decrease the loudness or prominence of tinnitus.

Starkey Relax allows you to customize 12 relief sounds by modifying the volume, frequency response, and rate of fluctuation, providing you with highly-personalized relief sounds for your unique tinnitus.  With Starkey Relax, you can create new, customized relief sounds coupled with soothing images to best suit the changing behavior of your subjective tinnitus.

You can play Starkey Relax relief sounds through your Apple device or any connected speaker/headphone. You can also stream the relief sounds from your Apple device to Made for iPhone hearing aids or 900sync hearing aids (via the SurfLink Mobile device) from Starkey, Audibel, NuEar, MicroTech, and AGX Hearing.

Starkey Hearing Technologies is a proud corporate member of the American Tinnitus Association, a global leader in the effort to cure tinnitus.  ATA brings together patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and industry partners to improve tinnitus information and support, and fund vital tinnitus research.

### 4/5 — Recorded loop

*2026-05-01, version 1.3*

The recordings seem to be a loop playback of a sound by. The fan audio is poorly edited and clearly has a stop/start in the sound.   Any distractions help with tinnitus, but it would be nice if this was a true randomized sound generation.
