Take Assessment
Connect your headphones or hearing aids to your smartphone or tablet. Find the quietest room available, away from large appliances and other ambient noises.
- If your hardware volume is not set properly, you will receive an in app notification to “auto set” the volume. Select “auto set” if you receive this notification.
- On the next screen, a sound that changes in pitch and intensity will play. Select “yes” if you can hear it and “no” if you cannot without changing the volume of your device.
- Adjust the volume slider on the screen to the just inaudible level (the first dBr level you cannot hear the tone being played) and set it there using the slider or volume buttons on the screen. The just inaudible level is right below the last volume level at which you could hear the sound being played.
- Use the same headphones or hearing aids for your assessments and sound therapies. You must retake your assessment anytime you change headphones or smart devices to ensure that your personalized sound therapies are set properly.
- Retake your assessment once per week AND any time you start to hear your inaudible sound therapy to adjust it to your new hearing levels as you continue to make progress.
Start Your Sound Therapy
After completing the assessment, select the “Start Sound Therapy” button to start your session. You will hear a voice prompt letting you know your sound therapy has been activated since it will be playing at the just inaudible level. As a reminder, retake your sound therapy anytime you can hear it.
- Clinical studies show significant positive results when the sound therapy is used for 1 hour per day for more than three weeks.
- You do not need to “actively” listen to receive the benefits.
- Your sound therapy runs passively in the background while you engage in other activities like exercising, working and falling asleep.
Retake Assessment
Retake your hearing assessment any time you can hear your sound therapy and a minimum of once a week, even if you cannot hear it.
Your hearing has positively changed if you start to hear your inaudible sound therapy. It’s time to retake your assessment.
