Why Freequency

A sound that keeps catching your attention can take over much of your day. In Freequency, you spend a little time seeking it out. Professor Tone helps you practice with the tone you recreated, so your brain can get used to it without sounding the alarm each time.

The ringing does not have to disappear for it to bother you less. That is the starting point for Freequency. You practice exposure techniques from the European tinnitus guidelines through a game you can play at home each day.

Ten minutes a day, for a hundred days. That is all I ask of you. I walk with you every day, with a short video or an article. And along the way you fill in the TFI questionnaire four times, so you can see for yourself what the practice is doing.

The science

Exposure therapy is recommended in the European guideline for tinnitus treatment, and that is what Freequency is built on. An international advisory board of audiologists and psychologists helps shape the program. Everything you read and hear in the app comes from them and the team.

FAQ

Where can I download Freequency?

Freequency is available in both the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play (Android). Search for 'Freequency' or use the download links on our website at freequency.app.

Which devices are compatible with Freequency?

On iPhone, Freequency works on devices running iOS 18 or higher — including the iPhone XS, XR, 11, SE (2nd generation), 12, 13, SE (3rd generation), 14, and 15. You can check if your device supports iOS 17 in your phone's settings. On Android, your device needs to support ARCore. You can check the full list of compatible Android devices at developers.google.com/ar/devices.

Is Freequency free to use?

The app is not free, but you can try the tone matching tool at no cost to see if your tinnitus sound is available in the app. If you're happy with the match, you can choose a monthly or yearly subscription. Newsletter subscribers may also receive special discount offers.

How do I set up my tinnitus tone?

When you first open the app, you'll be guided through the tone setup automatically. You can also access it later via My Profile → Manage Tones → Create New Tone. The tone maker lets you create and fine-tune a computer-generated tinnitus sound to match what you hear in your head. Always use earphones or a Bluetooth headset — not your phone's speaker — for the most accurate result. Step-by-step guides are available on our website for both iPhone and Android.

What is the hearing test?

It's a screening test in the Practice tab that estimates your hearing threshold for each ear across six frequencies and stores the result as an audiogram in your profile. It's currently only available in the Netherlands, so the option is hidden on devices set to another region. It's a screening, not a diagnosis — take the result to an audiologist or your GP.

Nienke: "Just because it didn't help me doesn't mean it won't work for someone else"

Nienke (65) has had tinnitus for fifteen years. She used Freequency for the full hundred days, but her symptoms didn't ease, and halfway through she even temporarily developed a second, unsettling sound. Still, her message to those who are hesitant is clear: try it anyway. Read Nienke's story.
