"Whist is very helpful to me when I experience tinnitus. Prior to Whist, I would have to find noisy places to work in so that the ringing in my ear wouldn’t bother or distract me. Now, I can stay in the comfort of my room and let Whist generate sounds that relieve my tinnitus. Whist’s sounds are completely customizable – I get to create ones that both mask my tinnitus and bother me less than the ringing in my ear. I would highly recommend Whist to anyone bothered by their tinnitus and looking for relief.” Laura D., Age 20, Tinnitus Sufferer

Latest reviews of Whist - Tinnitus Relief (Lite) app for iPhone and iPad
Just matches the tinnitus frequency. Doesnt cancel it.
Yep. In the long paragraph it says start with headphones not fully in your ears. How many are going to do that? Nope, it starts at medium high volume with bad noise. Just silly. Start volume low ok?
Tried this app out for two weeks, had a tough time with the frequency or lack of exact frequency with the slider, would be nicer to manually enter frequency range. Let me just say this, my tinnitus has changed!! It actually became louder and added frequency pitches to my left ear. If you ask me, I think something this serious as tinnitus is better left to the doctor!!! I made a huge mistake by trying this app.
This app is great, besides making me think the sound is coming from the app and not my head, my wife has a better idea of what I consistently hear. Can you add a slow fade besides the pulse feature? I think a fade would be a better treatment for tinnitus instead of an instant stop. Thank you :)
Dont bother with this app as it does nothing to calm tinnitus with its annoying sounds.
