[DEV] Launched my first app after 19 years of living with tinnitus

Just shipped Tinnitus Relief to Google Play. Solo indie project, took a few months.

Why I built it: I've had tinnitus for 19 years. Once used some app that gave me 3 days of complete silence, then lost track of it. Never found it again. So I rebuilt the concept myself.

Tech stack: WebView wrapper around a single HTML file, Web Audio API for the whole DSP side. Notched filtering with Q=8 over generated noise, real-time spectrum analyser on canvas, binary search over log frequency scale for the matching. Kotlin host handles WakeLock, audio focus and Play Billing.

Things that ate the most time:

- AudioContext suspending on Android when screen locks (solved with a watchdog + statechange listener)

- True dB volume scaling — linear sliders are useless when therapy sits at -35dB

- Google's 12 testers x 14 days requirement for new personal accounts

- CORS preflight breaking Apps Script until I switched to text/plain

Monetisation: free app, one-time Pro unlock. Also offering Pro for free in exchange for anonymous research data — curious whether that converts better than the paywall.

Happy to answer questions about the audio side or the Play Console gauntlet.

Need 12 Android testers for closed testing (Tinnitus Relief)

Please download my app and keep testing it for 14 days.
I've been building a free Android app called \*\*Tinnitus Relief\*\* that uses Notched Sound Therapy — you match your exact tinnitus frequency using A/B sound comparison, and the app removes that frequency from background sounds. The idea is that over time your brain reduces the perception of tinnitus.
