Ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking, and hissing are words which can be used to describe tinnitus, the perception of sound in your ear(s) or head when no external sound is present. While there is no cure for tinnitus, treatment options such as sound therapy and counseling can provide relief. The Starkey Relax app is an informational resource and self-management tool, which is intended for incorporation into a hearing professional’s sound therapy protocol for patients diagnosed with tinnitus. Sound therapy uses sound to decrease the loudness or prominence of tinnitus. Starkey Relax allows you to customize 12 relief sounds by modifying the volume, frequency response, and rate of fluctuation, providing you with highly-personalized relief sounds for your unique tinnitus. With Starkey Relax, you can create new, customized relief sounds coupled with soothing images to best suit the changing behavior of your subjective tinnitus. You can play Starkey Relax relief sounds through your Apple device or any connected speaker/headphone. You can also stream the relief sounds from your Apple device to Made for iPhone hearing aids or 900sync hearing aids (via the SurfLink Mobile device) from Starkey, Audibel, NuEar, MicroTech, and AGX Hearing. Starkey Hearing Technologies is a proud corporate member of the American Tinnitus Association, a global leader in the effort to cure tinnitus. ATA brings together patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and industry partners to improve tinnitus information and support, and fund vital tinnitus research.

About

Forva Lite

Read full description

Forva Lite is the simplest way to hit your daily protein target. Tell the coach what you ate. Or snap a photo of your plate. The AI logs the protein and keeps a running total — no calorie spreadsheets, no barcode scanning, no meal database to search. WHY PROTEIN Protein is the one macro most people undershoot. It matters whether you're losing weight, building muscle, recovering from training, eating less on a GLP-1, getting older, or just trying to feel full without snacking all day. Forva Lite makes hitting your target the easy part. HOW IT WORKS • Type what you ate — "two eggs and 150g chicken" — the AI logs it • Or snap a photo of any meal — the AI reads what's on the plate • Watch your daily protein bar fill up • Ask the coach anything: "how much protein in skyr?" or "best snack for me right now?" WHAT'S DIFFERENT • No signup to start — open the app and go • No calorie obsession — protein-first, kept simple • AI coach focused on one job: protein • Works without an account; add email later if you want sync across devices ABSORPTION LIMITS Your body uses ~30-40g of protein per meal. The coach helps you spread intake across the day instead of stacking it all into one shake. Small thing, big difference. PRIVACY Your meal logs are encrypted at rest. No tracking, no ads, no data sold. If you delete the app, your data goes with it. NEED MORE? Forva Lite is the protein-only sibling of Forva — the full app handles meal planning, workouts, weight tracking, and weekly schedules. Lite is everything you need if your only job is hitting your protein target.
