Seniors are more likely to have both age related hearing loss and tinnitus, and although both can often be helped by a hearing aid some people need more help to reduce the tinnitus from their consciousness.
This app provides affected seniors - who have monotone tinnitus - with a totally free research based package of practical help and information including a personal Residual Inhibition (RI) tone tool that allows most users to turn off their tinnitus briefly - a useful aid, especially for sleeping.
A dual tone test also allows the user to match their tinnitus pitch frequency which is then applied to a modern technique called 'tailor-made music notching'.
Further tools include live web connections to assess tinnitus severity and also to test for age related hearing loss.
This app includes suggested day/night routines and equipment based on a variety of audio therapy types, relaxation exercises and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) . The user is directed to free specific tinnitus and related CBT apps that support the daily routines by notching personal music in real time, provide relaxing guided imagery audio and offer a CBT Diary that encourages positivity.
Instructions are included for creating a portable personal Residual Inhibition tone MP3 track and portable tailored 'notched' music MP3 tracks using the free open source 'Audacity' software on a computer.
Buying cheaper discreet 'Completely In Canal' instant fit 8 channel, fully automatic, good quality hearing aids on the web is covered along with a related hearing aid volume control Android phone app.
