Our mission
When tinnitus bothers you, you want to be able to do something. At home, too, even while you are waiting for an appointment. We are working on help you can use yourself and afford.
Looking for tinnitus help too often starts with being put on hold: waiting times in hearing care can run up to nearly a year. That's exactly when you want to be able to do something. That's what we build Freequency for. You can start today, even while you're still on a waiting list, and always alongside your treatment.
We do not think that should require expensive equipment. With a phone and headphones, you can do the exercises at home. At the kitchen table or on the couch, whenever it fits into your day. That makes daily practice easier to plan.
What we stand for
These principles guide our decisions about which features to build and how to make Freequency available.
Care that works at home
Practice somewhere you feel comfortable, such as on the couch or at the kitchen table. Freequency uses techniques from tinnitus care that you can practice at home, alongside your treatment.
Get started while you wait
Waiting times in hearing care can stretch to months. Your tinnitus is still there in the meantime. Freequency lets you start practicing at home, even if your first appointment is some way off.
Affordable for everyone
Use the phone and headphones you already have; you do not need a VR headset. Clinics and hospitals can provide offer codes so you can practice at a discount or for free.
Honest about money
Your subscription helps pay for research, the content of the program, and development of the app. Here is how we put that into practice.
Back into research
We invest in pilots at hospital ENT departments and measure experiences with the Tinnitus Functional Index. This helps us understand what the app does for users and work toward independent studies.
Sharing knowledge and experience
In the videos and articles, you hear from audiologists, psychologists, and people with tinnitus. They share what they know and have experienced, in their own words and voices. That includes stories from people who are still figuring things out.
Building the app further
We develop new exercises and features and translate the app into more languages. Feedback from users and the advisory board helps us decide what needs attention first.
Subscriptions fund our work. We do not sell data or run ads in the app.

Reviews
People who use the app share what it has been like for them.
My tinnitus tone is still there, but the disturbance is gone.
Finally sleeping without the radio on. First time in months.
The professor feels like a friendly coach in your pocket.
Finally I understand what's happening in my head. That alone brings calm.
After a few weeks I noticed I was just reading a book again in the evening.
The ringing is still there, but it no longer decides my day.
My 200-day streak says enough, I think.
Small effort, ten minutes a day. And it really works.
Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but I've been symptom-free for a month!
Well, what do you know. That whistling is gone.
You teach your brain that the sound is simply there. That it's not dangerous.
Ten minutes of rest on the couch. That became my moment.
This is how I got my grip back.
From being tinnitus, back to being Ingrid.
