Widex Zen, Tinnitus Management Reviews

This is really well done. It’s great to be able to put on a soothing background whether you have tinnitus or not. And if you do there are several backgrounds, so depending on how bad your tinnitus is, you can go with soothing or with white/pink noise. Mine comes and goes, so it’s great being able to pick what works best for the moment.
These are a lot like the backgrounds in an app I sometimes use with sleep phones when I can’t get to sleep. WidexZenTinnitusManagement would work really great for that, but I take the hearing aids out at night when I sleep. Maybe I’ll try the sleep options for a nap sometime.
Anyway, it’s really a nice app with more options and much more flexible than having a Zen program added to the HA by the audiologist.

I’m in my 60’s and had instant tinnitus onset after a stroke 2 years ago.

VERY loud, 24x7, with occasional so-loud-I-want-to-die ‘storms’ that last several minutes.

Tried 4 different ENTs / audiologists, acupuncture (2018 WHO study), Klonopin (too sedating), and Ativan (works somewhat but scary addiction potential and short duration), and medical cannabis (some strains help...others make it worse).

Finally got a referral to a local tinnitus specialist who set me up with the Evoke hearing aids 2 weeks ago.

I have the Evoke app for control...and have made my own ‘programs’...but every now and then, I just need the Zen soundtracks in WidexZenTinnitusManagement.

I was able to read a book (for some reason, the tinnitus made that difficult) with Zen Fly last weekend...and nearly cried.

Yesterday...ONE Ativan instead of THREE.

Widex hardware is not cheap, and insurance carrier laughed at me, but the improvement is very good. Hopefully, I can train the auditory cortex to behave.

So far, this is the best thing I’ve found.

I have Meniere’s disease and have quite loud tinnitus in my left ear, a fairly high-pitched squeal. My audiologist just recommended WidexZenTinnitusManagement to me, as I have Widex hearing aids with Comdex. I downloaded it and stated trying the various programs. The Tropical Night program (which might well drive some people crazy) does a really good job of masking my tinnitus. If you have Widex aids and if WidexZenTinnitusManagement will work with them, try it out. I was skeptical, but with the wide range of programs, one of them just might work for you.

I was using WidexZenTinnitusManagement to retrain my hearing to control tinnitus. When the new version of the IOS was installed WidexZenTinnitusManagement would stop every time the screen went to sleep or I navigated away from WidexZenTinnitusManagement . I would then go back and restart WidexZenTinnitusManagement .

Too bad. My audiologist recommended this as one of the best tinnitus apps.

When my T is bad in the morning.
I find relief with WidexZenTinnitusManagement till it calms down down. Luv zen dreams

I use WidexZenTinnitusManagement to help my newborn sleep and thank you so much for this!! It’s one of the only things that calms her down!!

The relaxation breathing exercise would be good If I didn’t want to ram a pencil into my ear every time I listen to this guy. His voice isn’t soothing or relaxing. He reminds me of my college economics professor that was as dry as popcorn farts. Jeezle ... get someone with a better voice personality than this guy.
