REDUCE TINNITUS DISTRESS – WITH THE MUSIC YOU LOVE. Tinnibuddy turns real music into your personal Notched Music training. You can keep listening to your musicβ€”the narrow range around your tinnitus frequency is simply reduced. The method was developed at the University of MΓΌnster and scientifically studied. The most comprehensive meta-analysis to date, covering 14 randomized studies and 793 patients, shows that filtered music reduced tinnitus distress and perceived loudness significantly more than conventional music therapy. With Tinnibuddy, you can easily integrate this method into your everyday lifeβ€”with real music instead of noise or artificial therapy tones. YOUR MUSIC. WITHOUT YOUR FREQUENCY. First, identify the tone closest to your tinnitus. Tinnibuddy then adapts the music to your personal frequency. With the direct A/B comparison, you can switch between the original and filtered versions at any time. This lets you hear immediately what the filter changes. REAL MUSIC INSTEAD OF THERAPY TONES Choose the music that fits your everyday life: β€’ Discover specially created music that has been checked for compatibility with your frequency in advance. β€’ Listen to SoundCloud tracks with your personal filter. β€’ Import your own audio files from your device. β€’ With Tinnibuddy Plus, filter your computer’s audio too. Tinnibuddy checks how well a track matches your frequency and shows suitable music first. At high frequencies, optional edge enhancement specifically boosts the ranges directly next to the filtered gap. TURN MUSIC INTO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE Notched Music training works through consistency. Your training progress shows how long you have listened and helps you build a regular routine over several weeks. You should use headphones for training. In the underlying studies, participants generally listened for one to two hours daily over several months. A SCIENTIFICALLY STUDIED METHOD Tinnibuddy is based on the Notched Music method developed at the University of MΓΌnster. The most comprehensive meta-analysis to date, covering 14 randomized studies and 793 patients, shows that music with the tinnitus frequency filtered out reduced tinnitus distress and perceived loudness significantly more than conventional music therapy. TRY IT FREE Try the frequency finder, test tone, A/B demo, and selected music for free. Tinnibuddy Plus gives you unlimited access to all music sources and training features. Try Tinnibuddy Plus free for 3 days. You can cancel the trial at any time. IMPORTANT Tinnibuddy is intended for people with tonal tinnitus whose frequency can be determined. Tinnibuddy is not a medical treatment and does not replace medical advice. If you have new, acute, or pulsatile tinnitus, please consult an ENT specialist first.
