Tinnitus HQ

I do not have enough time with it to measure the effectiveness, but after reading several research papers on this technique, I’m in for the long haul. I intend to update this review after using for a few months. This app has an amazing array of natural sounds which I greatly appreciate. My favorite so far is the Belize Rainforest with the rain as white noise and those wonderful birds. Many great sounds to choose from, and that will make a big difference in being able to stick with regular daily therapeutic listening. Also very easy to use and the app’s backgrounds are pleasing to the eye. Great job developing this for tinnitus frequency notching. Having previously determined my frequencies I was able to set the notch super quickly. This app is working well for me, I will check back in after the brain has had some weeks or months for this to work. According to major medical publishers, it will and I’m hopeful. Big thanks to the developers.

This app and its built in combination of sounds worked like a miracle for the first night I used while sleeping in new apt with thin floors, nicely blocking any footstep sounds while tending to my tinnitus frequency that caused erratic audio disruptions on a non notched noise sound. Unfortunately midway through night two my mind picked up on the loop point in the white & pink noise audio recordings and then that was basically jarring me up every time it cycled through (roughly :30 - a minute) and it could not be EQ’d out / away. Longer, more seemless loops and the ability to stagger start points of samples would help in solving this problem. As would the ability to use eq notching on outside sources and or upload ones owns sounds at a length that would be less detectable by those with sensitive ears and sleep lightly. Or even an actual noise generator in sound suites. Thank you for the almost life saving app! Please consider adding something like this or a standalone notching app for all us struggling with sleep / tinnitus.

Very happy with Tinnitus HQ. Nice, simple user interface to create ‘notch’ and mix different sound files together. Extensive library of sound files to select from to create custom library. As for effectiveness in reducing perception of tinnitus, only time will tell. After a few days of use, I have one recommendation for the developer. Setting the frequency of the notch could be improved significantly by adding “+” and “-“ buttons to the current ‘slider’ control. This would allow precise setting of the tinnitus frequency. Also, adding similar “+/-“ controls to files in a mix would provide better balancing in a mix. Great, economical app! Looking forward to reduced perception of tinnitus and future upgrades/improvements to the app.
