After two years and NO updates Widex needs to up their game.
The Zen Tinnitus Management is a good idea but outdated.
With the advances of AI this could be an actual helpful tinnitus manhunt app.
You also REMOVED in hearing aid tinnitus sounds in the ALLURE.
WHY stream zen sounds from your phone to HAs when the HAs could contain the info with less signal loss?
Apple has not yet adopted the newest and best sounding bluetooth.
Get with it WIDEX. We are tired of newly released HAs with LESS improvements than the model before.

Pretty good
Well rounded and does now have a Balance setting to where you can make the sounds lounder in 1 ear more than the other.
Thankful
So thankful I found this app and wish I had it years ago. I’ve had tinnitus since a very young age (I think caused by many many ear infections damaging my ears?) and even though I lived with it all my life, there’s times it’s worse like when I’m sick or times when it’s almost unbearable because I can’t have one quiet moment. Sleepless nights with babies and all the anxieties of motherhood have made my tinnitus the tip of the iceberg when I’m exhausted with days of no sleep yet a racing mind keeping me up and on top of it all my ears seem to ring extra loud in these moments in the middle of the night. This apps sounds have helped me so much in these nights when a box fan won’t cut it. Turning on these sounds to make my mind focus on them instead of the endless thoughts and tinnitus has been incredibly helpful. Thank you for making this and please never remove it!!

auto play setting ?
I find this app very helpful to distract me from the tinnitus. Unfortunately when there’s an interruption like a phone call, the app doesn’t auto turn back on after the call has ended. I have to return to the app to restart.. Like many other apps can this feature be added?
Great app!
When my mild to moderate tinnitus acts up, I use “Pink Noise” for a few minutes and it stops my tinnitus immediately, especially at night/bedtime when it is most perceptible. This app is remarkable!
My favorite and a misconception
The collection of audio tracks in this app is great. I listen to several but my favorite is Zen Dreams because of the bird that lives in it. I say “lives” because there is a slight echo that makes its calls sound so real. The first time I heard the bird I was at a mall and I looked around for it, thinking that it had gotten inside by mistake, that’s how real it sounds. I look forward to its impromptu visits.
Some of the reviewers think that you need Widex hearing aids to use the app but that’s a misconception. The app is no different than other streaming apps so it can be used with any Bluetooth speaker or earbuds besides hearing aids. I use it also with a Bluetooth headband to help me go to sleep when my tinnitus is acting up.

Doesn’t work with latest versions of Apple IOS
I was using this app to retrain my hearing to control tinnitus. When the new version of the IOS was installed this app would stop every time the screen went to sleep or I navigated away from the app. I would then go back and restart the app.
Too bad. My audiologist recommended this as one of the best tinnitus apps.

Good one!
I have tinnitus in both ears but a lot more
I’m my left ear. A lot these Zen or Tinnitus apps are mono and or you have to use the device sound settings to change balance to achieve effect therapy. This app has a decent list and the ability to balance left-right and control volume in the app itself. That makes it easier to use. I have Widex hearing aids and the Moment app has similar available sounds but I find the waving feature in using pink noise or even forest sounds is a better therapy and not found on the parent app Moment. Using this in combo with my hearing aid app is simplified and works well as a tinnitus therapy. This like any other doesn’t stop tinnitus not a cure. It allows your brain and stress of focusing on the tinnitus, have a welcomed break! I tried these on my iPods pro and is even a bit more effective when the tinnitus is bad or very annoying. Allows to subdue external sounds that draw you to your tinnitus and and crank up the therapeutic session. Lastly a hint. Use the timer. Don’t listen to therapy sounds for long periods. Mine is about 30 mins max.

Thank you
Thank you for creating and sharing this valuable tool. Works for me!
Grating
The relaxation breathing exercise would be good If I didn’t want to ram a pencil into my ear every time I listen to this guy. His voice isn’t soothing or relaxing. He reminds me of my college economics professor that was as dry as popcorn farts. Jeezle ... get someone with a better voice personality than this guy.

Great but needs updating
I like this app but it hasn’t been updated in 3 years. Is it abandoned or will there be more updates? Thank you.
Great Tinnitus app
It provides information around Tinnitus and function to soothes it. Namely the sound with timer, relaxation and meditation guide as well as sleeping exercises.
Sounds great
I’m in my 60’s and had instant tinnitus onset after a stroke 2 years ago.
VERY loud, 24x7, with occasional so-loud-I-want-to-die ‘storms’ that last several minutes.
Tried 4 different ENTs / audiologists, acupuncture (2018 WHO study), Klonopin (too sedating), and Ativan (works somewhat but scary addiction potential and short duration), and medical cannabis (some strains help...others make it worse).
Finally got a referral to a local tinnitus specialist who set me up with the Evoke hearing aids 2 weeks ago.
I have the Evoke app for control...and have made my own ‘programs’...but every now and then, I just need the Zen soundtracks in this app.
I was able to read a book (for some reason, the tinnitus made that difficult) with Zen Fly last weekend...and nearly cried.
Yesterday...ONE Ativan instead of THREE.
Widex hardware is not cheap, and insurance carrier laughed at me, but the improvement is very good. Hopefully, I can train the auditory cortex to behave.
So far, this is the best thing I’ve found.

Nice App to Have
This is really well done. It’s great to be able to put on a soothing background whether you have tinnitus or not. And if you do there are several backgrounds, so depending on how bad your tinnitus is, you can go with soothing or with white/pink noise. Mine comes and goes, so it’s great being able to pick what works best for the moment.
These are a lot like the backgrounds in an app I sometimes use with sleep phones when I can’t get to sleep. This app would work really great for that, but I take the hearing aids out at night when I sleep. Maybe I’ll try the sleep options for a nap sometime.
Anyway, it’s really a nice app with more options and much more flexible than having a Zen program added to the HA by the audiologist.

Tinnitus sufferer
I have Meniere’s disease and have quite loud tinnitus in my left ear, a fairly high-pitched squeal. My audiologist just recommended this app to me, as I have Widex hearing aids with Comdex. I downloaded it and stated trying the various programs. The Tropical Night program (which might well drive some people crazy) does a really good job of masking my tinnitus. If you have Widex aids and if this app will work with them, try it out. I was skeptical, but with the wide range of programs, one of them just might work for you.

Wonderful!
Love this App as it helps control my tinnitus. The breathing exercises are excellent along with the Beach Visualisation. Thanks for the availability of the App.
Génial ! Marvellous !
Quelle belle application ! J’ai un acouphène et m’entoure de musique et chansons 24/24 pour l’oublier ou l’amadouer. Les sons sont de très haute qualité professionnelle -BRAVO ! I am wondering if, in a future update, you are thinking about allowing the user to create its own list of YOUR sounds, like 5min of birds, 10min of forest, 10min of Zen relaxation, etc. That would be so fantastic. High rating for this superb and well thought App.. My ears are happier !
