It does appear to help with ringing in my ears but my frustration level goes up every time I use it! **Developer response:** Glad the app is helping with the ringing in your ears. Please contact us in the app via “Questions or Feedback”, we’d be glad to help with any questions that you have. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-05-25* Abo hier, Werbung da. Dazu schlecht Designt. Kauft euch Endel und der Drops ist gelutscht. **Developer response:** Hmm.. Die App bietet fortschrittliche Tinnitus-Filter, einen Katalog hochwertiger Klänge und unbegrenzte Mixe. Mit einem Abonnement werden kleine Werbeanzeigen entfernt. ### 3/5 — Confused *2025-03-02* It seems as though the free version only allows access to nice beautiful sounds that overly the tinnitus. It appears that in order to experience the notching effect one has to purchase the app for an Unknown price. Correct me if I’m wrong. **Developer response:** Yes the free app provides high-quality natural sounds, custom mixes, and you can sample the advanced filters. You can subscribe to get unlimited access to the advanced filters and 250+ sounds. Please tap “Upgrade” in the bottom menu or try try the advanced filters to see the subscription screen. Please contact us in the app via “Questions or Feedback” we’d be glad to help further. ### 2/5 — Nicht so toll *2025-02-07* Lässt sich bei mir nicht beenden **Developer response:** Öffnen Sie das untere Menü und tippen Sie auf das Pause-Symbol links neben 'SPIELT JETZT'. Tippen Sie erneut, um die Wiedergabe fortzusetzen. Eine FAQ finden Sie unter 'EINSTELLUNGEN & HILFE'. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns über 'Fragen oder Feedback' innerhalb der App – wir helfen Ihnen gern! ### 3/5 — Eher wie ein Kinder-Lexikon *2025-01-12* Ich empfehle euch lieber Chat GPT zu benutzen als das hier. Mein HNO empfahl mir diese App und ich habe alle Lektionen gemacht und bin sehr enttäuscht. Es eher wie ein Kinderlexikon mit Aufklärung was ein Tinnitus ist und ein paar Techniken zur Bewältigung. Wer aber wirklich Hilfe und Antwort auf seine Fragen haben möchte kann effizienter und ohne Aufwand über die Krankenkasse andere Lösungen finden. Ich sehe hier eher Abzocke. **Developer response:** Das ist falsch. In dieser App gibt es keine Lektionen. Ihre Bewertung bezieht sich auf eine andere App. Tinnitus Aid bietet über 250 hochwertige Naturklänge und fortgeschrittene Filter, die Ihnen helfen, die Tonfrequenzen Ihres Ohrenklingelns zu ermitteln und zu maskieren. Bitte aktualisieren Sie Ihre Bewertung. ### 2/5 — 블루투스 오디오 연결이 끊기는 문제 *2024-12-16* 에어팟을 이용해서 화이트노이즈를 듣는 중에 시스템 알림음이 울리면 재생이 중지되고 다시 재생했을 경우 에어팟이 아닌 아이폰 스피커를 통해서 소리가 나오는 문제가 있습니다. 핸드폰에 푸쉬 메세지가 올때마다 계속 재생이 끊기고 블루투스 이어폰을 재연결해야 하는 불편함이 있으니 개선하거나 환불해주시기 바랍니다. **Developer response:** 앱을 업데이트해 주세요. 추가 지원이 필요하면 앱에서 "질문 또는 피드백"을 통해 문의해 주세요. ### 2/5 — If you want background ok *2024-02-16* If you want background ok if you want to match tone you have to pay **Developer response:** The app provides high-quality natural sounds, unlimited mixes and a timer for free. Upgrade to get 200+ sounds and add advanced filters within the app. ### 1/5 — Might be okay but … *2024-01-07* It is necessary to allow so many trackers and ad-vultures to use. I refused them (at least you are given this option) and then get a notice saying that you have to give permission in order to use. Life is enough of a pain with tinnitus with out opening my self up to even more ads and data vultures Be decent and offer a 1 month free trial and then a reasonable purchase price (not subs! ) Result: Deleted!! **Developer response:** We’ve updated the app to help- please download the latest release and try again. The app provides high-quality sounds, a timer and unlimited 6-sound mixes for free, with no limitations. It has a small banner ad so we may provide this. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-11-14* The full paid app might do something but the initial download provides just background sounds **Developer response:** The advanced filters are available in the app, please update. Choose from a wide range of sounds, create and name as many mixes as you like, and play them forever for free. Tap “Add audio filter” to try out the filters with any sound or mix, and upgrade to use them forever. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2023-10-16, version 2.4* The main beneficial feature is the filters, and they’re in the screenshots, but they’re not in this app. You have to download and buy a completely different app to get the filter functionality. This app just plays sounds from freesounds.org. ### 3/5 — Pas assez d’explications *2023-10-11* Dans la version Light on ne comprend pas bien le but ni la démarche thérapeutique, je n’ai pas trouvé de lien vers quelque chose d’un peu théorique sur le sujet, dommage **Developer response:** Tapez à tout moment sur l'icône infos (i) de l'écran filtres pour obtenir plus d'informations sur les filtres. Veuillez utiliser la section "Questions ou commentaires" de l'application pour nous contacter. Nous serons heureux de vous aider ! ### 1/5 — No help *2023-10-06, version 2.4* Tinnitus is problematic enough. This is no help. With these sounds I might as well go work in a factory. ### 1/5 — Testing just for a few seconds! *2023-09-07* Couldn‘t figure out how it works! Need to upgrade, don‘t know if it will help? **Developer response:** Please tap the info (i) icon on the filter screen for detailed instructions on using the filters. Please contact us in the app via “Questions or Feedback”, we’d be glad to help. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 44,95 Jahresabo und personalisierte Werbung *2026-01-23* Das bekommt man beim Start der App zu sehen. Daher gleich wieder gelöscht. Ich zahle gerne einen Einmalbetrag für eine gute App und auch ein einmaliger Kauf zusätzlicher Features ist denkbar. Aber auf personalisierte Werbung und Abu zu setzen vergrault mich sofort. **Developer response:** Zur Klarstellung: Die kostenlose App bietet einen hochwertigen Soundkatalog, unbegrenzte Mixe und die Möglichkeit, die erweiterten Tinnitus-Filter auszuprobieren. Das Abonnement bezieht sich ausschließlich auf die optionale Version ohne Werbung und mit erweiterten Tinnitus-Filtern. Werbung kann – wie bei allen iOS-Apps – auch ohne Personalisierung angezeigt werden. ### 1/5 — Bombarded with upgrade requests *2026-01-21* Before I even got to try the app, I had two pop ups trying to get me to subscribe. Like why would I subscribe to something I haven’t even tried yet?? They don’t offer a free trial (I’d have been happy with a week to see if it even works for me. I have Pulsatile tinnitus and am struggling to find something to help). And on top of all that, you don’t even get a pay monthly option. You need to subscribe for 3 months or a year. I wouldn’t mind that if I at least got to test it first. So I’ve uninstalled it and will try elsewhere. Plenty of other apps out there. **Developer response:** Hmm.. you can listen to the high-quality sound catalog for as long as you like for free, create unlimited custom mixes, and you can try out the advanced independent filters (which are unique). There is a subscription for 250+ sounds and unlimited use of the advanced filters, but you can use the app for free for as long as you like. ### 1/5 — Hilfe nur gegen Geld👎🏼 *2025-12-29* 👎🏼 **Developer response:** Die App bietet einen Katalog hochwertiger Klänge und unbegrenzte Mixe kostenlos. Erweiterte Filter und Zugriff auf über 250 Klänge können mit einem Abonnement hinzugefügt werden. ### 1/5 — Everything is behind a paywall *2025-09-05, version 4.8* Read title ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2025-01-22* I had no luck with this app. It did not even come close to creating a sound that worked. I am having trouble canceling it. It is not listed in my subscriptions section. **Developer response:** Hmm.. there are over 250 sounds with unlimited mixes, and advanced filters to try with a subscription. If you have a subscription it will be listed under your AppleID in the App Store app. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it loud enough to mask the tinnitus *2024-09-22, version 3.4* It doesn’t matter what masking noise you pick, it won’t go loud enough ### 1/5 — Nutzloser Werbedreck *2024-07-15* Startet nicht mal, wenn man einen Werbeblocker im Netzwerk hat! Dann … nur abspielen von Geräuschen (kann ich mit AM auch), … Filter? Bezahlen! Zockt Euch selbst ab! **Developer response:** Die App enthält kostenlos: hochwertige Naturklänge, unbegrenzte Mixe, einen Timer für die automatische Ausschaltung und eine Hörprobe der erweiterten Tinnitus-Filter und -Steuerungen. Abonnieren Sie die App, um die erweiterten Tinnitus-Filter und -Steuerungen unbegrenzt nutzen zu können – über 200 Klänge mit allen künftigen Ergänzungen, komplett werbefrei. ### 1/5 — 残念なアプリ *2024-02-16* もう使うことはないです。 **Developer response:** アプリ内の "ご質問またはフィードバック "からお問い合わせください。喜んでお役に立ちます！ ### 1/5 — unbenutzbar *2024-02-12* dauernd popup "Einwilligung nötig". iOS 17. **Developer response:** Bitte aktualisieren Sie Ihre App auf die neueste Version. Bitte starten Sie Ihr Handy neu, achten Sie darauf, dass Sie eine starke Internetverbindung haben und versuchen Sie es erneut. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns über "Fragen oder Feedback" innerhalb der App, wir helfen Ihnen gern. ### 1/5 — No help *2024-02-11, version 2.9* No help ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 某医院很像 *2025-08-30* 省了很多钱 ### 5/5 — KittyDancer *2025-06-05* I really like that i can create my own mixed. ### 5/5 — Top *2024-12-14* Lappli aide beaucoup à passer les crises ! ### 5/5 — Mr *2024-07-18* Estou começando para tentar melhorar o zumbido . Parece bem agradável ### 5/5 — Fantastic App, Exactly what I have been looking for. A+ *2024-01-24* Im a long time sufferer of Tinnitus and Meniere’s Disease and I mean I suffered from it especially like now when I have a Meniere’s flare up. Im no doctor just a patient and I am professional being treated so this is my personal opinion on this app and how it helps me. Before I found this app I was looking for something I could tailer to my specific needs. I wanted something I could adjust the ears independently and control the volume and pitches of the sounds. So recently the past week I found the Tinnitus Aid app about 2am, yeah 2am because I couldnt sleep because of the ringing in my ears so I searched and searched again. I have been looking for something like this for so long and I got lucky and found it. The more I use it the better its getting and Im understanding better how to use it to tailer it to my needs. I dont consider this just a Tinnitus app, its therapeutic for anyone for relaxation and just taking it easy when you need it and listen to something soothing. The developers really listen and respond to suggestions and questions and thats so important to me especially in my case right now..but I really love this app and its worth every penny of the subscription price Im paying for it, one of the better investments for an app I have. I hope anyone that gives it a try loves it as much as I do but if its helping me with the severe case of tinnitus I have I would hope it could help many more…good luck with it if you give it a try, I sure do love it. ### 5/5 — Great Sound App *2023-11-03* Great sound app for Tinnitus sufferers. You have to experiment to find the right frequency or sounds to mask you tinnitus. This will enable you to have a restful sleep. ### 5/5 — Bom *2023-10-13* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Tinnitus app *2023-01-09, version 2.4* Great sleep aide. ### 5/5 — A great help *2022-09-28* I find this app has been extremely helpful in masking my tinnitus at night. Without it I struggled to sleep but now getting a reasonable nights sleep. ### 5/5 — Tinnitus Sounds *2022-03-03* This by far the best app I have tried for my horrible Tinnitus! This app prevents the Very Very Loud High Pitch Ringing I experience just about everyday! I highly recommend this app if you have the “Curse” Tinnitus as I Call it! I have the Tinnitus only in my left ear! I try to adjust it to only the left ear but it lasts for only a few minutes then it goes to both ears. Any way to keep it adjusted to only my left ear? **Developer response:** Glad you find the app useful and thanks for recommending it! Yes, you can use the advanced left/right ear filters and turn on only the left or right filter. You can also use the balance control to move the sound to one ear. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
