Downloadable music program aims to quiet tinnitus

Neuromonics, producers of medical devices for treatment of tinnitus, has released the Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator, a downloadable product for Android mobile devices.

More than 50 million Americans suffer with tinnitius, an ever-present sound of ringing in the ears. Some 34 percent of those afflicted by this condition are returning veterans, causing depression, anxiety and troubles with concentration. The Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator uses spectrally modified music that retrains the brain to block out such ringing sounds.

The Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator is now available on Android devices having been previously released on Apple products. Once downloaded, the app provides a 14-day free trial were users can take hearing tests that customize music by raising or lowing the embedded neural stimuli.

"The Android version of the Neuromonics Tinnitus Alleviator opens up the opportunity for relief for the millions of consumers using an Android device – offering the benefit of Neuromonics' proven treatment at a reasonable cost," said Eula Adams, CEO of Neuromonics. "Consumers who used the iOS version agreed that it is a safe, simple, effective way to ease the symptoms of ringing in the ears. We anticipate similar results with the Android version."
