Most tinnitus apps offer a sound library and call it sound therapy. That's not what tinnitus management looks like in practice.
Stillwave was designed around the methods that audiologists actually use: sound therapy combined with cognitive behavioural skills, structured education, sleep work, and gradual habituation. It's the same shape you'd be walked through over months of clinical appointments, translated into something you can do at your own pace, on your own phone, and keep using long after the structured weeks end.
The lessons are written in plain language. There are no self-help platitudes, no exaggerated promises, no "cure your tinnitus in 7 days" claims. Tinnitus management is a slow, real process. Stillwave treats you accordingly.
A daily clinical journey from understanding your tinnitus through habituation. Each lesson combines education, a timed practice, and a reflection prompt.
The tools you'll keep using long after the program ends. Multi-layer sound mixer, frequency matching with notched therapy, and thirteen guided exercises and meditations.
A 14-question self-check based on the standard subscale framework used in clinical research. Take it weekly. Watch the patterns over months.
Each week builds on the last. Each lesson combines a short education piece, a structured timed practice, and a reflection prompt. Move at your own pace. No streak counter, no guilt mechanism. Most people finish in about ten weeks, with breaks.
Habituation is not silence. Most people who habituate to tinnitus can still hear it if they listen for it. The sound has not gone away. What has changed is the attention the brain gives it. From Week 7 of the program
Beyond the program, Stillwave is built around tools you'll keep using indefinitely. The mixer and timer are designed to be tools you'll reach for long after completing the program.
Eighteen sounds across three groups: White, Pink, and Brown noise; Ocean Waves, Rain, Stream, Wind, Waterfall, Babbling Brook, Thunderstorm, Fireplace, Fan, Ambient Hum, and Distant Rumble in the nature group; and Theta, Delta, and Alpha brain tones for use with headphones. Stack up to four sounds, set independent volumes per layer, adjust stereo balance per ear, and save your combinations as named mixes. Audio continues when your screen is off, with a media notification, for as long as you want.
Find the pitch closest to your tinnitus across the audible range, from 250Hz to 16kHz. Use the guided A/B matching tool to narrow down your frequency in about seven rounds, or sweep manually. Save your matched frequency and switch to notched-noise mode for sound therapy targeted to your specific tone. Headphones recommended above 10kHz.
Eight CBT and breathing exercises: 4-7-8 Breathing, Box Breathing, Coherent Breathing, Quick Calm, Thought Defusion, Body Scan, Sound Acceptance, and Gratitude Anchoring. Five guided meditations with audio guidance: Tinnitus Awareness, Mindful Listening, Self-Compassion, Watching Thoughts, and Stillness. Designed for eyes-closed practice, read aloud automatically.
A 14-question self-check, modelled on the standard clinical subscale framework. Track your trajectory across the program and beyond. A number that's independent of how today happened to feel.
Set a duration. When the timer fires, the audio fades and a notification lets you stop sound therapy with one tap. A clean way to wind down without thinking about it.
Stillwave costs AUD$19.99 in Australia (USD$19.99 in the US). Once. There is no subscription, no annual renewal, no in-app upsell. You buy the app, you have the app.
For context: a single consultation appointment with an Audiologist typically costs over a hundred dollars and lasts one hour. Stillwave is AUD$19.99 / USD$19.99 and gives you eight weeks of structured support, a full toolkit, and ongoing access.
We've priced it deliberately low because tinnitus is common, and not everyone can afford repeat visits to a clinician.
Pricing: AUD$19.99 in Australia, USD$19.99 in the US, or your local equivalent on the App Store and Play Store.
Stillwave has no accounts, no analytics, no third-party tracking, no advertising. The app makes no network requests once installed. Your sound preferences, your check-in scores, your program progress, all of it stored locally. We can't see it because we never receive it.
Regional resources for Australia, the US, and the UK are bundled with the app, not fetched from a server. Read the full privacy policy →
No. Stillwave is a wellness app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat tinnitus or any other condition. If you have new or worsening symptoms, sudden hearing changes, ear pain, dizziness, or anything concerning, please see your GP or audiologist. The safety screener at onboarding flags situations where professional assessment is the appropriate first step.
Sound therapy and CBT are the two most evidence-supported non-pharmacological approaches for tinnitus distress. Habituation is the clinical standard recommended by audiologists worldwide. Results vary, and improvement isn't linear. Most people in structured tinnitus programs see measurable progress between weeks four and twelve.
Because the wellness app subscription model is genuinely problematic. You're not buying ongoing content, you're buying a structured program plus a set of tools. Once you have them, they're yours. Subscription pricing for a one-time-program app is a mismatch between what's being sold and how it's being charged for.
Yes. This is the single most common failure point of tinnitus apps and we put significant work into solving it. Stillwave runs as a foreground service with a media notification, so audio continues with your screen off, your phone locked, you in another app, for as long as you want. The audio doesn't time out at 90 seconds like most of its competitors.
The structured program ends, but the app keeps working. Most people continue to use the sound mixer for sleep and work, return to specific exercises during stressful periods, and check in with their self-assessment monthly to confirm stable progress. The toolkit is what you keep.
Google Play and the Apple App Store both offer refunds within their standard windows after purchase. Beyond that, my honest answer: tinnitus management is genuinely slow work. If you've engaged with the program for at least four weeks and you're not noticing any change, please consider seeing your audiologist for a more thorough assessment. Apps work for many people; some need more direct clinical support.
