Overview

After almost 10 years of providing tinnitus relief software solutions, Sensimetrics will retire Whist – Tinnitus Relief on September 30th, 2023.

“Whist is very helpful to me when I experience tinnitus. Prior to Whist, I would have to find noisy places to work in so that the ringing in my ear wouldn’t bother or distract me. Now, I can stay in the comfort of my room and let Whist generate sounds that relieve my tinnitus. Whist’s sounds are completely customizable – I get to create ones that both mask my tinnitus and bother me less than the ringing in my ear. I would highly recommend Whist to anyone bothered by their tinnitus and looking for relief.”

Whist - Tinnitus Relief Preview

Use Whist 1 – Tinnitus Relief at your convenience and at your own speed to find the sounds that provide the most tinnitus relief for you. When you find the best therapeutic sounds, you can save them to provide immediate access to tinnitus relief when you need it most.

Based on clinical research on sound therapy, Whist – Tinnitus Relief provides a flexible and easy-to-use interface for masking and residual inhibition of tinnitus. Each of Whist – Tinnitus Relief’s controls adjusts an essential and easily-understood characteristic of the sound. By following the simple instructions that are provided, you will be able to match the pitch, noisiness and loudness of your tinnitus to find the best sound for your unique tinnitus relief.

Whist – Tinnitus Relief provides you with the sounds that are at least as effective as those that might be gotten with the best matching and sound delivery device, all at a small fraction of the cost.

The one element of some sound therapy programs that Whist – Tinnitus Relief does not provide is counseling. Developing an accepting attitude towards tinnitus can help sufferers cope, and the counseling that an experienced clinician can provide can facilitate that change. A start on that sort of counseling can be found in some written materials that are referenced in the “Background” section.
