FREQUENSEE – DISCOVER YOUR TINNITUS FREQUENCY Your tinnitus has its own sound. FrequenSee helps you understand it better. FrequenSee was developed by someone who experiences tinnitus firsthand. It all began with a simple idea: to create a tone that matches the sound of their own tinnitus as closely as possible. That idea evolved into an app that helps you gradually identify, compare, and document your personal tinnitus frequency. FIND YOUR FREQUENCY Guided frequency search helps you explore the sound of your individual tinnitus. Different tone modes and an adjustable frequency range allow you to find the tone that most closely matches your subjective tinnitus perception. YOUR PERSONAL HEARING PROFILE Save your identified frequencies and compare the results of multiple searches. Your hearing profile helps you track your personal frequency perception over time. DISCOVER YOUR SOUNDSCAPE Whether you enjoy cozy jazz, relaxing cafΓ© atmospheres, or gentle meditation music, FrequenSee offers a wide variety of pleasant sounds. Explore calming nature sounds such as rain, forests, and ocean waves, or enjoy the steady sound of Brown Noise. Some soundscapes are available offline right away. Additional music tracks can be downloaded individually whenever you like. YOUR PERSONAL NOTCH SESSION Use your identified tinnitus frequency to create personalized notch sessions. The frequency range around your selected tinnitus frequency is selectively reduced in your chosen music or soundscape. Choose your favorite sounds, set the session duration, and customize the frequency filter to your preferences. This approach is inspired by the principles of notch therapy.
