4 10Frequently Asked Questions4
Our studies show that 10 minutes ea h day provides the expe ted benefit.
However, there is no negative effe t if you hoose to do the exer ises longer
than 10 minutes. The most important lesson from our data is that it is riti al
to make sure you do the exer ises every day.
Should I listen to the tones for longer than 10 minutes a day?
Two months is the re ommended program duration that an deliver lasting
benefits. However, some users de ide to keep the band for pea e of mind or
even ontinue doing the exer ises daily. If you’d like to keep the band, simply
don’t ship it ba k to us – we’ll harge you a total of 2 additional monthly rental
payments (a total of 4 monthly payments) and then the band is yours to keep
forever. Note for Duo Pro users who joined before October 2021: you will be
charged 1 additional month for a total of 3 monthly payments.
Is two months enough or should I keep the band forever?
Yes, as long as you are able to hear tones played through a speaker via hearing
te hnology (su h as hearing aids or o hlear implants).
Can I use this tinnitus program if I have moderate or severe hearing
loss?
In general, we re ommend you do the daily exer ises with the same level of
hearing support you use in your daily life. Bimodal stimulation (sound + tou h),
the method employed by Duo, works when you hear and feel the tones from the
Neosensory Duo app. Thus, if the hearing aids allow you to hear the tones more
learly, please do wear them.

Yes. Tinnitus can take multiple orms, and our research shows a consistent
success rate across di erent symptomatologies.
Does the program work with all types of tinnitus suc
as pulsatile, high frequency, from COVID-19?
We have not conducted studies beyond tinnitus and recommend you talk with
your doctor be ore trying our program or uses other than reducing the ringing
in the ears.
Does the program help or harm other medical conditions such as
ADHD, acoustic neuroma, hyperacusis?
While a clinical evaluation is not necessary to use Duo, we do o er Duo Pro
which includes two consultations with audiologists who specialize in tinnitus.
We recommend Duo Pro or individuals who have never consulted with an
audiologist or their tinnitus.
Should I visit an audiologist before starting the program?

In general there’s no difference, whichever arm is more comfortable.
Should I w ar th band on th right arm or l ft? Should it b th
sam arm as th ar wh r my tinnitus is strong st?
The frequencies go up to 8000 Hz. We recommend playing the tones at a
volume that is clearly audible and can be picked up by both your ears and the
band without causing pain.
