AudioNotch 1.0.4

AudioNotch is a mobile application designed to provide customized Notched Sound Therapy for individuals experiencing tinnitus. Tinnitus, characterized by the perception of sound without external stimuli, is a prevalent condition globally, often manifesting as a persistent ringing in the ears.

Notched Sound Therapy, a treatment modality for tinnitus management, aims to reduce the volume of the perceived tinnitus tones by selectively removing sound energy at corresponding frequencies. Research has indicated significant reductions in tinnitus volume through experiments, with reductions ranging from 75% to 20%.

The key features of AudioNotch include:

• The capability to identify and adjust to your specific tinnitus frequency utilizing the tinnitus tuner function (complimentary and account-free).
• The option to generate personalized Notched Sound Therapy tailored to your unique tinnitus frequency (premium account required).
• The ability to access and utilize Notched Sound Therapy (premium account required).

For the creation of Notched White Noise and Notched Natural sounds, direct functionality within the mobile app is available. However, crafting Notched Music necessitates the use of the companion web application accessible on a computer post-acquisition of a premium account through an In-App Purchase. Notched Music created via the computer application can subsequently be accessed and listened to via the mobile app.
