TinnitusMe runs in the background and never reminds you. Sleep, heart rate, the noise around you and the weather are collected for you, with food from your nutrition app, then tested against your loud and quiet days with real statistics. When it gets loud, there are sounds to play, and a report to bring to your audiologist.

Tinnitus changes over time in many people, so researchers ask in the moment: one study drew on 45,935 phone check-ins.
Breitmayer et al., Sci Rep 2023
Across 278 app users no shared pattern showed up at group level, yet most people had their own predictors of loudness and distress, some from the previous day.
Simoes et al., Front Neurosci 2022
In 22,936 UK Biobank adults, tinnitus was most common in music and construction work, accounted for by job and music noise exposure along with older age.
Couth et al., Trends Hear 2019
Pooled across seven studies and 3,041 people with tinnitus, 53.5% had impaired sleep.
Gu et al., Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2022
A Cochrane review of eight trials found no evidence that sound devices beat a waiting list, placebo or advice alone. So it pays to see what helps you.
Sereda et al., Cochrane 2018
In Vienna, very high or low air pressure was linked to more tinnitus emergency visits in the days after, and high humidity to more on the same day.
Haas et al., Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2023
In a blinded trial with 66 coffee and tea drinkers, cutting caffeine had no effect on tinnitus severity, and the withdrawal brought its own symptoms.
St Claire et al., Int J Audiol 2010
In 658 app users, stress level partly explained how a louder tinnitus turned into more distress.
Probst et al., Sci Rep 2016
Repeated check-ins from 306 users showed that the more someone's mood swung, the more closely rises in loudness went with rises in distress.
Probst et al., Sci Rep 2016
Across 28 trials and 2,733 people, CBT may reduce the impact tinnitus has on quality of life.
Fuller et al., Cochrane 2020Ask TinnitusMe reads your own sleep, heart rate, stress, weather, spikes, triggers, medicines and reliefs and answers in plain words. Insights then takes what is already showing up in your data and turns each pattern into one thing worth testing for a week.
The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory was built so a busy clinic can put a number on how much tinnitus affects daily living.
Newman et al., Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1996
A Cochrane review of six trials and 610 patients found there is as yet insufficient evidence to say antidepressants improve tinnitus.
Baldo et al., Cochrane 2012
Pooled across 83 studies, 14.4% of adults have tinnitus and 2.3% have it severely: more than 740 million adults worldwide.
Jarach et al., JAMA Neurol 2022
An app for iPhone and Android for people who live with tinnitus. You log a spike when it gets louder. TinnitusMe collects sleep, the noise around you, weather, food and your wearable's numbers on its own, compares your loud days with your quiet ones, and turns what it finds into a report for your audiologist. It also has sounds for loud moments and for the night.
An app cannot cure tinnitus, and TinnitusMe does not claim to. What it can do is answer “what goes with my louder days?” from your own data instead of guesswork, give you sounds for when it gets loud, and put the pattern on paper for your audiologist, ENT or GP.
Logging spikes, the sounds and weekly picks, the background collection, the last 7 days of your Journal, the community and the nearby clinic list are free. Premium adds your full Journal, Insights, Ask TinnitusMe, the tests worth running, Flagged today, the Full Report and PDF, the THI, the Treatments page, history graphs, sharing with a practitioner and food logging: £7.99 a month or £54.99 a year. New accounts get 14 days of Premium free.
No. Paying attention to tinnitus tends to make it louder, so TinnitusMe never reminds you to listen, never asks whether it is still there, and has no daily check-in. Notifications are off unless you switch one on yourself.
Both work. You answer that once during setup and it only changes the words the app uses.
No. Weather comes from your location, your phone can measure how loud your surroundings are, and on Android it can read screen time and sleep timing. A wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect adds sleep stages, heart rate, HRV and stress. Garmin, Oura, Polar and WHOOP connect directly; Apple Watch comes in through Apple Health.
It measures, it does not listen. When noise sampling is on, the phone reads the loudness around you for a minute and only that level is sent to your account. No audio is uploaded and nobody listens to anything.
No. There is no rule that fits everyone. TinnitusMe tests each factor against your own loud and quiet days and tells you whether it matters for you. If it does, it suggests a week worth testing, never a rule.
Yes. We don't sell your data and we don't share it with advertisers. All health data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and you can delete your account and your data at any time. A practitioner sees your data only after you agree, and only the parts you choose.
No. It shows patterns in your own data to help you and your clinician; it does not diagnose or treat anything. New tinnitus in one ear, tinnitus that pulses with your heartbeat, or sudden hearing loss should be seen by a doctor or audiologist promptly.
