One day, he just happened to be talking to my father and revealed that he had all these sound libraries that heвЂ™d built himself. WeвЂ™d already made a few art-based apps for our label. JR: I run a small record label with my dad and a few other guys, and Rupert is our go-to session drummer. When did the idea to develop an app materialise? What is the intention with it? We just had to get involved and figure out a way to get it out to people. Rupert came to us and told us that heвЂ™d developed some sound therapy to aid with tinnitus. IвЂ™ve known Rupert for a long time though and I know how heвЂ™s dealt with it as a musician. IвЂ™ve been to gigs and experienced ear fatigue and variations in that context. James Rodley: IвЂ™ve experienced intermittent versions of it but I donвЂ™t have it as an ongoing condition. So do you mind just giving up music?вЂќ I thought, вЂњStuff you,вЂќ and carried on regardless. ThatвЂ™s why youвЂ™re experiencing poor hearing, because all your frequencies are being taken up with tinnitus frequencies. I remember the ENT surgeon just said to me, вЂњIвЂ™ve had a look at the diagnostics of your hearing and the test shows that youвЂ™re quite down in one ear and yes, you have quite a lot of tinnitus. I had an eight-month wait for an ENT surgeon on the Isle of Wight. I was about to go to the US to work but realised that I couldnвЂ™t.

I carried on with gigging, which probably made it worse. So yeah, I remember sitting in my car thinking, вЂњWow, my hearing life is about to change foreverвЂќ. IвЂ™d never experienced anything like that before. I realised I was totally deaf in one part of my left ear. I remember coming out of a noisy club, so I didnвЂ™t notice it at first, but half of my face felt bizarre.
