### 5/5 — Works and its free!

*2019-04-03, version 2.1*

Brilliant app! Listened for 15 minutes and was free of my tinnitus for the first time in 4 days of none stop buzzing. Keeps a record of your usage so great to show my doctor. Would highly recommend this to anyone suffering tinnitus.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-03-28*

Does it exactly what is says it does! Creates a calming white noise (almost reminds me of a waterfall) and I use this to go to sleep at night. Great communication from developer when the app wasn't working with phone's lock mode! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Sounds good

*2013-07-08, version 1.0.2*

This app reduced the volume of my tinnitus within minutes. It's a strange sensation to have even a short break from my high pitched tinnitus. I think that regular use will help more.

### 5/5 — Sanity saver!!

*2012-08-09, version 1.0.2*

If you suffer from Tinnitus and are feeling panicky, then this app is for you! Honestly, this has been a life saver for me; I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much!

### 1/5 — Made Tinnitus Worse

*2012-03-29*

I used this app several times and while it masked the ringing in my ears while I was using it, my tinnitus was immediately worse and much more noticeable after I turned it off.  This app does not help reduce tinnitus long term by selectively filtering out problem frequencies, it just creates random noise or sound beds that help you relax and tune it out while using it.  It will not make your tinnitus better long-term.  This app is a huge waste of money.

### 5/5 — App

*2011-12-22*

Very helpful.  Highly recomended.

### 4/5 — Easy!

*2011-10-19*

Simple white noise app with listening statistics. Works fine!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-06-15, version 1.0.2*

Whilst using this app it is very effective at removing the annoying buzz/ringing noise typically associated with Tinnitus. Only just started using it though so I'll have to be a bit more patient for more permanent effects!

It's free, so why not give it a go!

### 4/5 — Works pretty well

*2011-06-03*

It is feels strange but if you keep the volume down it works pretty well

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2011-05-09, version 1.0*

Amazing, a few seconds listening in one ear from the speaker even makes my tinnitus go away for a while. I must find time to try longer sessions using earphones! Thank you for this cool free app
