A new approach to tinnitus care.
SilenEar is a next-generation personalized tinnitus treatment platform. Developed by a multidisciplinary team combining neuroscience, clinical medicine, and AI, SilenEar aims to deliver meaningful, lasting relief to the millions living with tinnitus.
Our approach
Personalized. Adaptive. Clinically informed.
We believe tinnitus care should meet each person where they are. SilenEar is designed as an adaptive therapy platform — AI-enhanced, grounded in neuroscience, and built in collaboration with leading medical institutions. We're building a comprehensive IP portfolio and will share more as we approach clinical readiness.

What is tinnitus
The short answer
Tinnitus is the perception of sound — most commonly a ringing, buzzing, or hissing — when no external source is present. It is a symptom, not a disease, and arises from changes in the auditory pathway, most often linked to hearing loss, noise exposure, or age-related cochlear changes.
An estimated 14% of adults experience tinnitus globally. About 1 in 5 of those report significant quality-of-life impact.

What patients have now
There is no universal cure for chronic tinnitus, but several evidence-based approaches — including cognitive behavioral therapy, sound enrichment, and, when appropriate, hearing aids — can meaningfully reduce distress. Effectiveness varies widely from person to person.
CBT has the strongest evidence base for reducing tinnitus-related distress. Most clinicians recommend a combined approach rather than any single intervention.

Take the Tinnitus Functional Index
The TFI is a validated 25-item instrument used in clinical trials worldwide (Meikle et al., 2012). It gives you a 0–100 severity score across 8 domains — intrusiveness, control, cognition, sleep, hearing, relaxation, quality of life, and emotion.
