The ultimate application for tinnitus sufferers. Only naturally produced sounds of musical instruments and sounds of Mother Nature - no synthesizers! Developed by an expert software engineer in the field of frequency analysis and a leading music psychologist, music therapist and hearing therapist with more than 20 years’ experience in the treatment of tinnitus sufferers. Used very successfully in the treatment of tinnitus. ‘tinnitus help’ contains a broad range of functions but operating it is child’s play: 1. Accurate analysis of your tinnitus 2. Tinnitus masker and noiser 3. Reprogramming your auditory cortex 4. Stimulating your central auditory perception Helping you to 5. defocus 6. habituate 7. relax 8. fall asleep This is how it works: ‘tinnitus help’ utilizes the fact that the same brain activities that enable us to perceive auditory stimuli, i.e. real sounds, also cause the perception of the tinnitus sound. Thus ‘tinnitus help’ is able to intervene in central auditory processes. ‘tinnitus help’ forms an image of your individual tinnitus frequency (up to 20.000 Hz) and offers you the option to mix this frequency with pleasant sounds or music. This means that ‘tinnitus help’ can assist you to change the way you perceive your tinnitus sound by letting it gradually fade into the background. Regular listening to your individual ‘tinnitus help’ setting will enable you to learn how to increasingly fade out the sound in your ear and eventually ignore it. Experts call this “habituation”. Step one: Establish your individual tinnitus frequency by using the slide switch. It does not matter if it is the left or the right ear that is affected or both. Are you suffering from tinnitus sounds that rise and fall? Or cricket like sounds? Or red noise? You can mix all additional sounds to your tinnitus frequency, thereby optimizing your tinnitus profile. Step two: Choose a pleasing sound and add it to your tinnitus profile. Using this combination, you will feel your tinnitus gradually fading into the background. What you are experiencing is the effect of defocusing. You have now created your own individual, perfect tinnitus masker, which you can call up any time anywhere. Set the time on how long you want your program to run for and use your tinnitus setting as masker to help you relax and to fall asleep. Step three: Influence the activity of your auditory cortex. The area in which your tinnitus frequency is located will be especially active and, depending on how frequently and how intensely you pay attention to your tinnitus, this area will spread like an ink stain on a piece of blotting paper. However, you can restrict the growth of this area by adding one of the pieces of music on offer to your setting. The music has been especially written for tinnitus sufferers. All pieces of music are produced naturally on musical instruments; no synthesizers are used. The association “I am hearing pleasing sounds or music” will at first be stored in the hippocampus, our memory centre. If the experience is repeated by using ‘tinnitus help’, the hippocampus works like a trainer for your cerebral cortex. It will repeatedly offer the stored information to the cerebral cortex, resulting in the new input being learnt and new programs etched into the auditory cortex. Regularly recurring musical structures act like a massage on certain areas of the brain. Where tinnitus is present, this will be experienced as a negative effect. However, you can turn this to your advantage by calling up your very own personalised music in your head. Retrieve it whenever you need it, influence your perception processes and learn to set up the reprogramming of your central auditory pathway. In general the tinnitus has the same frequency as the peak in your hearing loss. So use ‘tinnitus help’ to stimulate your auditory cortex and to support your hearing. ## Key features - Personalized tinnitus frequency analysis - Tinnitus masker and noiser - Auditory cortex reprogramming - Central auditory perception stimulation - Defocusing from tinnitus - Habituation techniques - Relaxation aid - Sleep aid ## Recent user reviews (10 of 67) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tinnitus-help/id382593362/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Relief within minutes *2023-03-01, version 2.06* Used to be a brilliant app but appears the owner has dumped it as no updates in several years and now the app constantly crashes. ### 5/5 — tremendous app, take it from an audiologist *2023-01-23, version 2.06* this is definitely the best tinnitus app that I’ve seen. There is no other app that offers you this much flexibility to create a sound that you will like to use for sound therapy. You can also import your Apple Music library and overlay any type of tinnitus masking sound with your choice of music. You can save then a sound that you like you can stream this sound through a Bluetooth device. This app is simply all that you could ask for in one cheap looking package, but don’t be fooled, in this case you can’t judge a book by its cover. ### 3/5 — Ein holpriger Start für eine gute App *2021-09-20, version 2.06* Ich habe mir die App installiert und bin an einigen Formulierungen in den Hilfetexten 'hängengeblieben'. Leider verweisen alle Links (z.B. in Bezug auf die Doku) auf tinnitus-help.net wo einem aber nur eine login-Aufforderung 'begegnet'. Über die ind-technik.de Entwicklerseite werde ich entweder wieder a für tinnitus-help.net verlinkt oder auf eine Dokumenation aus dem Jahr 2014. Gerne würde ich die App optimal auf mich einstellen, um mögliche Schäden (durch falsche Einstellungen mit zu hohen Pegeln) zu vermeiden. Der Link auf die aktuelle Dokumentation ist dazu erforderlich und auch im Sinne der Veranwortung für die Nutzer der aus meiner Sicht sehr fundierten App mit langjähriger Erfahrung und Expertise! ### 4/5 — Hilfreich... *2021-04-12, version 2.03* ... aber nicht benutzerfreundlich und nicht ohne Fehler programmiert. Der theoretische Ansatz ist begründet und die App insgesamt (bei mir) sehr hilfreich. Vielleicht gibt es ein besseres Update, dass ich aber nicht mehr benötige. Die Lautheit meines Ohrgeräuschs hat sich nach ein paar Anwendungstagen um ca. 90% reduziert. ### 5/5 — macht was es soll 👍 *2020-08-22, version 2.03* ich finde diese app sehr gut. die oberfläche ist nicht besonders stylisch und was solls . ich habe sehr unterschiedliche tinitus sounds in meinem kopf und einige apps . bekomme es aber mit diesem programm am besten hin diese zu maskieren. das speichern verschiedener set ups ist super , zwar etwas schwer zu finden, aber hier haben sich leute n kopf gemacht die wussten womit wir es zu tun haben. ### 1/5 — Leider ging der Schuss nach hinten los.. *2020-05-25, version 2.03* Ich hatte über die APP gelesen und da verzweifelt nach Hörsturz und sehr hohem Tinnitus, habe ich diese und andere Apps gekauft. Leider gab es hierfür keine App Lite. Was soll’s ...wenn es hilft... alles schön eingestellt 2x 15 Minuten gehört und der Tinnitus ist gefühlt 5x schlimmer bzw. wahrnehmbarer als zuvor. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-02-29, version 2.03* I have been using this app for years and it has given me my life back. I also wear hearing aids and I use bone conducting headphones. I wear them all day long most days. OK, I look a bit odd. But I’m in my 70s and I don’t care. Ten years ago, my mental health was suffering because of the tinnitus and then I found this app. A miracle. I use one of the sounds of nature all the time, the summer rain. Thank you so much, words cannot express my gratitude. ### 3/5 — So, jetzt.... *2019-12-25, version 2.03* ....wird die App gelöscht. Ich benutze sie schon seit Monaten und es kann sogar sein, dass sie was bewirkt. Auf jeden Fall nehme ich den Tinnitus weniger wahr als früher. Trotzdem kommt sie jetzt weg. Nach jedem IOS Update geht irgendwas nicht. Und dieses Mal hat nicht mal eine Neu Installation geholfen. Mit dem Update auf 13.3 waren erst mal meine ganzen Voreinstellungen gelöscht. Und jetzt nach der Neu Einrichtung „eiert“ die vor eingestellte Frequenz (welche bei mir sehr hoch ist). Was nun? Ich probiere es mit Whist. Da lässt sich die Frequenz auch sehr genau einstellen und die App läuft im Hintergrund, so das man sie gemeinsam mit der gewählten Musik verwenden. Schade um das ausgegebene Geld, zumal die App im AppStore auch noch bedeutend teurer ist als in Google Play. ### 5/5 — Neues Update und alles funktioniert wieder! *2019-10-01, version 2.03* Die beste App für das Training gegen die Wahrnehmung des Ohrgeräuschs die es auf dem Markt gibt. Ich habe sie alle ausprobiert! Danke ### 2/5 — ZunehmendesSignal *2019-08-04, version 2.03* Ich habe das Gefühl, den Tinnitus mit dieser App Anwendung zu verstärken. Vielleicht ist mein Tinnitus nicht passend oder ich mache etwas falsch. Kann aber außer der Bedienungsanleitung auf der App keine weitere Information zur Bedienung finden. Bin stark am zweifeln, ob ich damit weitermachen soll. ## Frequently asked questions about tinnitus help ### How does tinnitus help analyze my tinnitus frequency? tinnitus help uses a slide switch to help you establish your individual tinnitus frequency, which can be up to 20,000 Hz.
