About this app

Nobody else can hear it – but you hear it all the time. It’s a ringing, buzzing or humming noise playing in your ears, and it’s exasperating. The aggravating ringing in your ears, called tinnitus, can be managed.
This App provides you with a sounder player with relaxing Zen sounds. The Zen sounds presented on the playlist are intended to provide a relaxing sound background for adults (21 years and older) who desire to listen to such a background in quiet. The Zen sounds may be used as a sound therapy tool in a tinnitus treatment program that is prescribed by a licensed hearing healthcare professional who is trained in tinnitus management.
The Zen sounds presented in the playlist are intended to be used in quiet where hearing everyday sounds is not critical. The sounds are intended to provide a relaxing sound background for those who suffer from tinnitus.
The app also provides you with access to educational tools, which are intended to increase your awareness about how to live with your tinnitus through education on the basics of tinnitus as well as explained exercises.
Usage:
The app is intended to be used with Widex hearing aids (either with streaming capability or via a COM-DEX or UNI-DEX). We recommend you listen to the selected sound for at least 2-4 hours a day, at a soft level. It is important the you choose a sound that you find is pleasant, to help you shift your focus away from your tinnitus. Listen to the sound while you are in quiet surroundings doing other things: reading, relaxing, working, etc.  If you use hearing aids, the sounds in the app may be used alone (without amplification) in quiet when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds, or they can be used so both the surrounding sounds and the app sounds are heard together.

This is a nice looking app. Easy to use and the sounds is high quality ( I only use the sound tracks). However, on every sound track there is a distinct gap in the loop about every 1.5 minutes. To me this is horrible for my tinnitus and, i think, completely unnecessary 😞. Using on Samsung S22Ultra.

Fair selection of sounds to distract tinnitus (Constant Ear Ringing) when attempting sleep. Updating the Ocean & other type(s)with proven relief for tinnitus suffers would rate 5 stars. There are numerous beneficial sounds (in app) for min-moderate suffers, very few for more moderate-severe suffers. Periodic updates should be an easy task for Widex. Adding of sound files sound files easier. Especially considering the cost: Moment Series starts @ $3,600+. Making it their most expensive series.

I've been using this app for several years on my phone via bluetooth headset. The Tropical Night soundtrack is the only thing that works for me. It helps to calm and even stop the Tinnitus. However, since the last update it randomly stops. I have to constantly hit the play button. This is very annoying and unfortunate. If this app played properly as it used to I would give it a 5 star rating.
