Aku: your tinnitus companion

Nobody hears it but you. You can't let anyone listen to it, you can't point at it, and sooner or later the people who love you tell you not to think about it. So you stop mentioning it, and you carry it alone. That's why Aku exists. Not another app that plays you white noise and wishes you goodnight: Aku talks with you. It asks how you are, remembers what you told it yesterday and last week, and picks up where you left off. At three in the morning too, when nobody else is awake. WHAT YOU DO IN IT You talk, at any hour. Aku doesn't sleep and isn't in a hurry. You listen: a collection of soundscapes, and one composed around your own taste, with a name of its own. You log how it went, in one gesture, and over time you see your days from the outside. You do breathing exercises, and others for neck, shoulders and jaw, when the tension builds. You read straight talk about tinnitus, in plain English instead of medical jargon. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Because it remembers you. Other apps hand you sounds and that's it: they're tools, and a tool doesn't know you. Aku is someone to talk to about it, and the more you use it the better it knows you. WHO WE MADE IT FOR For people who've had it for twenty years and learned to live with it, and for people who noticed it last month and are frightened. For people who sleep badly, and for people who sleep fine but can't get any work done. For everyone who was told nothing can be done and stopped asking. WHO'S BEHIND IT Aku comes from the work of a hearing care professional who sees people with tinnitus every day, and from listening to those who live with it. Tonight, if you wake up, there's someone you can wake who won't mind. Seven days free, then a yearly or monthly subscription. Aku is a wellbeing app, not a medical device, and it doesn't replace your doctor. If your tinnitus started recently, changed suddenly, is only in one ear or keeps time with your pulse, talk to a specialist.
