Tinnitus (relief) apps explained: what helps, what doesn’t
|
Hi Reader, If you live with tinnitus, you already know it’s not just about the sound. It’s the sleep problems, the stress and anxiety, and sometimes that constant feeling that your brain just won’t slow down or focus. Over the last few years, one of the most common questions I get is about tinnitus apps. So I finally sat down and did a proper, hands-on review. Instead of ranking apps or chasing hype, I focused on something much more practical: Here’s the simplest way to think about it. A practical way to choose a tinnitus app• If calming background sound therapy helps you during the day (or night) • If you want an all-around, free tinnitus support app • If anxiety, reassurance, and understanding your tinnitus journey are your main challenges • If sleep is your biggest struggle There are other apps out there as well (e.g. Oto, MindEar), but in my experience, these are the ones that actually offer clear value for specific problems, instead of trying to do everything at once. I explain all of this in detail, show the apps on my phone, and walk through real examples in this new video: As always, everything I share is based on personal experience and client work. Different people respond differently, but my goal is to help you think clearly and avoid unnecessary trial and error. And if you ever feel that apps alone aren’t enough, and you want personal guidance tailored to your situation, you can always book a free consultation with me. Warm regards, |

Hello Reader, This week’s email is a little different. I want to share something simple, but very important:A map of tinnitus habituation. One of the questions I hear a lot is this: “I’ve watched your videos, read your posts, and tried the tools… but I just don’t see how anyone could habituate to my tinnitus.It’s so loud, so intrusive, it takes over everything and makes me anxious.” If this is how you feel, please know this:You are not alone. Many people have been in that exact place. And...
Hi Reader, Many tinnitus sufferers develop understandable fears and avoidance habits. Avoiding restaurants 🍴Avoiding social events 👥Avoiding places where tinnitus might feel louderAvoiding silence And sometimes those choices are necessary for a while. But something interesting often happens during recovery. Progress often begins when we gently start reintroducing things we’ve been avoiding. Not all at once. Not in overwhelming ways. But gradually 🌱 For example, someone with sound sensitivity...
Hi Reader, Every few months there’s a headline:“A tinnitus cure is coming.” And most of us think:“I’ll believe it when I see it...” But something real just happened, and this time, it’s worth paying attention. A drug called SPI-1005 recently completed a large late-stage clinical trial in people with Ménière’s disease, a condition that includes vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.
