Over the last decade, ever since I dedicated my career to helping people who suffer from chronic conditions like Tinnitus, hearing loss, and Meniere’s disease, I’ve heard from countless companies reaching out to me to write about their products or services.

When you have any kind of online following, you get these emails every day, and most of them are completely irrelevant.

But every now and then, something truly incredible comes to my attention. Something that makes me stop and think everybody needs to know about this. Everyone needs to be using this.

So today, I’m going to tell you about an amazing new company called AudioCardio that has created a new app and technology that has clinically shown to improve and strengthen hearing in patients with sensorineural hearing loss.

It’s a bold claim for sure, something I thought was impossible, but AudioCardio has the data and published studies to back it up.

If you suffer from any degree of hearing loss this is something you are going to want to start using immediately.

I truly cannot recommend it enough.

What is AudioCardio?

AudioCardio is an evidence-based mobile app (available on iOS and Android) that delivers a new type of sound therapy that they call Threshold Sound Conditioning, which functions a lot like physical therapy for your hearing.

But unlike any other current treatment for sensorineural hearing loss, Threshold Sound Conditioning was designed to actually improve your hearing over time.

In a clinical study conducted at Stanford University, more than 75% of study participants experienced at least a 10-decibel improvement in their hearing threshold at the targeted frequency after only 2 weeks of using AudioCardio’s algorithmically generated sound therapy for just one hour per day.

That is a mind-blowing result all on its own.

But even more incredible, from user data collected in the app, AudioCardio has seen as much as 15-25 decibel improvements across the entire frequency range in some of their longer-term users.

For most people with mild to moderate hearing loss this kind of improvement in hearing thresholds can be the difference between needing hearing aids or not.

It can also be used to strengthen and better maintain hearing in a person living with a condition that can progressively affect your hearing (like Meniere’s disease in my case), which is why I’ve been using the app myself for a while now, and recommending it to all of my tinnitus and Meniere’s coaching clients.

How does AudioCardio work?

First, the app performs a hearing assessment to measure the current level of the user’s hearing to calibrate and personalize your sound therapy.

It’s similar to a normal hearing test, but instead of clicking a button anytime you hear a tone, the app plays a continuous tone and asks you to manually change the decibel level to find the quietest possible volume level you can hear at that frequency – it’s the volume level where you can just barely hear the tone being played, and when if adjusted to one decibel lower you can’t hear it at all.

This represents the minimum threshold of your hearing in that ear, at that specific frequency.

You then repeat this for a variety of other frequencies in both ears, covering the full range of human hearing, just like you would in a normal hearing test.

Once your hearing assessment is complete, the app will target your worst frequency range for each ear – this is the one with the greatest hearing loss – and deliver Audiocardio’s proprietary sound therapy (Threshold Sound Conditioning) in hopes of improving it.

How AudioCardio aims to improve sensorineural hearing loss:

When a person suffers from sensorineural hearing loss, the hair cells (cilia) within the cochlea are damaged, but not always destroyed entirely. This is important to understand because you can still hear sounds at the affected frequency if they are loud enough for your unique hearing ability.

(This is why hearing aids are able to work – they amplify any sounds quieter than the threshold to be louder than the threshold so you can actually perceive the sound.)

AudioCardio works by playing algorithmically generated tones right at and below the threshold of what a person can hear.

Because of this, the tones being played during the sound therapy session are inaudible (or barely audible), at least at first. However, by stimulating the hair cells right below the threshold, it strengthens the hair cells and the person’s threshold can improve, meaning they can hear quieter decibel level sounds than they could previously.

So let’s say 30 decibels is the quietest level sound you can hear at 4000 Hz.

If you listen to 4000 Hz tones between 27-29 decibels, you most likely won’t hear anything right away. However, if you keep stimulating the hair cells right at and below the 30 dB threshold, over time neural pathways are formed and supported, and the threshold levels can improve.

It’s an astonishing result and thousands of people are starting to see positive changes in their hearing with this new type of sound therapy.

It takes at least 2 weeks of daily use to start noticing significant results, but one really nice thing about AudioCardio is that you don’t really hear anything while it’s playing, so you can focus on other things while the therapy works its magic passively in the background.

You can listen to music (Spotify and Apple Music are integrated directly into the app), you can exercise, work, or do anything else you might want to do at the same time.

Measuring Your Results:

One of the most exciting features of the app is that you are not being asked to take it on faith that your hearing is getting better.

The app has you retake the hearing assessment once per week, or anytime you start to hear the tones being played while receiving your sound therapy.

Because if you start to hear the tones being played, and the decibel volume level of the tones hasn’t changed, then it’s your hearing that has changed for the better! And the app keeps track of your progress as you continue to use it over time.

AudioCardio will always target the sound therapy for the most damaged frequency identified in each ear during the hearing assessment, but as your hearing at that frequency improves, the app will automatically switch targets to the most damaged frequency range.

This, however, raises a potential issue. Even if your hearing at the targeted frequency improves considerably, it may not improve enough to become better than the next worst frequency. If this occurs, you could stop making progress and seemingly plateau.

To solve this problem, AudioCardio has released a new feature called frequency targeting, where you can manually change the frequency being targeted by the sound therapy, as long as you’ve used the sound therapy daily for at least 3 weeks.

Over time, you will eventually target all of the frequencies in hopes of strengthening your hearing across the entire frequency range of human hearing.

Everyone with tinnitus (or hearing loss) can potentially benefit from AudioCardio:

Since I first connected with the founders of AudioCardio several months ago, I’ve been recommending it to all of my tinnitus coaching clients and blog readers. I’ve also been using it myself.

And I’ve been getting great feedback all around.

Many of you have reported improvements in hearing, and and some of my tinnitus coaching clients have even reported that their tinnitus has become quieter as their hearing changed for the better, which is an incredible result.

Below is just one example of a success story, written by one of my tinnitus coaching clients (and shared with her permission):

To everyone out there with any degree of sensorineural hearing loss, I cannot recommend AudioCardio enough.

Whether you have already suffered hearing loss, are just at risk for hearing loss, or if you just want better than good hearing, download this app and start using it right away!

Even if you still have most of your hearing, like I do, you can strengthen and maintain it.

This is particularly important for tinnitus sufferers, as hearing loss can exacerbate tinnitus.

A 2-week free trial is included when you sign up, and pricing is between $8-13 per month (minus 20% with discount code RT20DC).

Compared to the average price of hearing aids, the value is massive. It’s also downloadable from the comfort of your own home and has no stigma associated with using it since it uses consumer headphones or earbuds.

I haven’t felt this strongly about a new therapy in a very long time, so I hope you will all give it a shot!
