Neuromonics Inc, a Colorado-based maker and distributor of medical devices designed for tinnitus relief, is introducing a downloadable product for mobile devices. The Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator™ will work on iOS 9-enabled devices, and uses a proven treatment protocol.
According to Neuromonics, users will listen to spectrally modified music designed to retrain the brain to ignore the ringing sounds and stop reacting negatively to them. An Android version will reportedly release this summer.
Consumers can download the Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator at the Apple App Store. Upon downloading, the consumer will receive a 7-day free trial. After that period, subscriptions are available for purchase at $.99/day; $5.99/week; $24.99/month; $69.99/three months; $149.99/six months; and $249/year. Users will be able to customize the music to their hearing, and raise and lower the imbedded neural stimulus.
“The downloadable Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator represents an excellent opportunity for consumers to realize the benefit of Neuromonics’ proven treatment without the cost typically involved,” said Eula Adams, CEO of Neuromonics. “Consumers who participated in the product’s trial agreed that it is a safe, simple, effective way to ease the symptoms of ringing in the ears.”
Neuromonics reports that more than 50 million people in the US suffer from tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, when no external sounds are present. Often brought on by exposure to loud noise, the problem is especially significant in the military, with more than 34% of returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from the condition. For many sufferers, the ringing noise causes fatigue, depression, anxiety, and problems with memory and concentration.
With research and development beginning in the early 1990s, Neuromonics says the company has helped thousands of tinnitus sufferers improve their quality of life and overcome the daily life challenges associated with tinnitus. Today, Neuromonics provides its devices to nearly 2,000 hearing professionals on four continents, through direct relationships and reseller partners.

I attempted to download the App only to be told it is not available in my area. How can that be?
I cannot open the Apple store-downloaded Oasis Pro app, for my free trial, as the app requires a sign on that I do not know, and cannot find where/how to obtain. Pls respond with instructions to obtain a login username and password without going to a local contracted vendor; you promise a free trial and I want that. I am a disabled veteran; if you offer support through VA health care, I can do that. Pls advise.
Mine is a good news story. I underwent Neuromonics therapy around 2006-7. I was under the care of a therapist in Perth (Australia) who was writing a Master’s thesis on the product. This was well before an iphone app was available. I had profound tinnitus that was literally driving me mad. I used the device at every available opportunity. As a classroom teacher I worked every evening in my study and on an average day I listened for 3 hours or more. It was very calming – to the point where I would rather listen to the device than not. After 6 months I stopped using the device and have not looked back. I understood at the time that my progress was a bit unusual and was largely due to the amount I used the device. My tinnitus has not gone completely. It does not, however, bother me at all. A friend with profound tinnitus said to me years ago – “you can make tinnitus your friend”. So I did. It was the biggest challenge in my fairly long life but I succeeded.
I have paid for a month subscription to try to see if I get an improvement in the profound tinnitus I suffer from. My question is does this use my phone/ WiFi data apart from the download of the app? Thanks for making this available, fingers crossed it helps.
I am shocked to see all of these comments about it being too expensive to try out. You can pay thousands and thousands of dollars to a doctor who will treat you with a wide variety of things that most likely will not work either. Is it too far of a stretch to try a vastly cheaper option? I have just downloaded this app and am 37 minutes into my first therapy. I can not notice if my tinnitus symptoms have lessened any so far, but will gladly pay $50-100 to give this a proper try before I pass judgement.
pls. update me the progress of neuromodulation treatment for tinnitus.
Hello! I am excited to try this app! I am having some technical difficulty though with the music “muting” whenever I have a phone call or other “sound” notification from my phone. I use an iPhone 6s Plus. The only fix I have found to gain the sound back on your app is to delete the app and then download again. Note: I can go into the hearing test again and hear the sounds, but not the music on any profile. I am using the customized profile but none play sound when this happens. The music appears to be playing as the timer is running, but no sound. All other sounds on my phone function when this happens. I’m in the trial phase of the app. I’m highly considering a monthly subscription but would need a fix for this situation. Can you please advise? Thank you.
Brain wiring goes into defib like the heart. Sound distraction gets your brain to relax, thinking past the defibbed wiring. Cricket sounds work for me. It gets me to relax. I also got a job with a lot of background noise, which helps to think away the from tinnitus. I will get this soon. I think will get the help of an audiologist to set it up.
So this thing cures tinnitus and offers a year long plan of purchase? But the video guy says you can cure it in a month? OK.
It doesn’t look like they have obtained FDA clearance for their app… I’d sure like to see some safety and effectiveness data before I plunk down $50 or more, which is the ‘test period’ they recommend to see if it works for you…
