What is harmody?

With the tinnitus app harmody you can listen to your favourite music in harmony with your tinnitus. Songs are automatically adjusted according to your tinnitus tone. The tinnitus frequency is embedded in the harmonic structure of the music and therefore the perception of your tinnitus is reduced noticeably.

Importiere deine MP3s aus einer Vielzahl von Quellen und stelle deine Lieblings-Playlisten zusammen.

Import your MP3s from a variety of sources and create your favorite playlists. There is also the Tonfinder, which can be used to determine your own tinnitus frequency. Set tones can be saved, commented on and reloaded later if you are unsure or if your tinnitus changes over time. When your frequency is set, the app can be used like a normal player. Our harmonization algorithm automatically adjusts the music in real-time.

With the diary, you can document your tinnitus stress before, during and after listening to music. In addition, general entries on the current stress level in the diary can be commented on and saved in order to document other positive or negative influencing factors. This way you can keep an eye on how and by what means your tinnitus is changing.
