Question

How accessible is the ReSound Relief app for patients with tinnitus? 

Answer

The ReSound Relief app is very accessible to patients. There are no expensive requirements. The app can be downloaded to a smartphone via the App Store or Google Play. No hearing aids are required, although you can stream the ReSound Relief app to streaming-compatible hearing aids. One thing to keep in mind if you're using ReSound hearing aids, the ReSound Relief app does not control anything in the hearing aid. It's simply a stand-alone app which streams audio to the hearing instrument. You could use the Relief app with a standard set of earbuds that you might get with your phone. You can use it with Bluetooth-compatible headphones or earbuds. A person could connect it to a Bluetooth speaker if they wanted to use it during sleep hours, for example. The fact that it's available on a mobile phone or a tablet allows the user to take it with them wherever they want to go. They're not required to have any big machinery. They simply need their phone and some way to deliver the sound.
