Award

Last Wednesday, Freequency had the honor of receiving the award for Best Applied Game. We are incredibly honored by this recognition of our work toward a future in which people with tinnitus experience more control over their daily lives.

Positive jury feedback

The jury explained their choice as follows:

‘Developed over many years by a substantial consortium of academic partners, experts, and specialists, Freequency genuinely improves the lives of people suffering from tinnitus. While the applied game design remains limited and purely functional, what matters most is that it actually works, and impressively so. The real reward comes after playing: a life no longer dominated by tinnitus.‘

These words underline what Freequency stands for: an evidence-based approach that supports people in letting tinnitus have less control over their lives.

An award for everyone living with tinnitus

This award is not just for us. We dedicate it to everyone in the Netherlands living with tinnitus. We hope this recognition contributes to greater awareness, more understanding, and above all to a future in which self-management is central in tinnitus care.

Thanks

We thank the Dutch Games Association, Municipality of Rotterdam, and Martijn J Peltenburg for the award and the appreciation.

Be sure to keep following us to see what the future holds for Freequency!
