Get started

Choose the support that best matches your experience.

Kodama offers separate guided programs for tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia. If more than one applies, start with the problem causing the most disruption. Eligibility screening will check whether an outside medical or mental-health evaluation should come first.

Which sound experience brought you here?

Many people have more than one. Choose the one causing the most trouble. The eligibility screening applies the program’s rules and shows whether an evaluation by your own outside provider is needed first; it does not provide a diagnosis.

Evidence labels describe the outside research base, not outcomes from Kodama’s programs. See the evidence and limitations →

What happens next

What enrollment asks, and why

Personal and health information is completed in Practice Better, Kodama’s secure patient portal. This public website does not collect it.

Messages and weekly check-ins are typically reviewed within 48 hours, outside of holidays or planned time away.

01Eligibility screening

Before registration, a short screening applies the program’s eligibility rules and shows whether an evaluation by your own outside provider is needed first. It does not diagnose a sound condition.

02Enrollment, terms, and consent

You’ll review the enrollment terms and the consent specific to your program before joining. The founder feedback surveys that come with your founding participant rate are about the program itself, not research. Research participation, when offered, is a separate, optional consent of its own.

03Payment

All prices above already show your founding participant rate, offered to early participants who agree to complete three brief founder feedback surveys about their experience with the program: one at the start, one partway through, and one at the end. These ask about the program, not your clinical care, and skipping one doesn’t affect your enrollment, access, or price. Practice Better’s checkout starts at the regular rate; enter code FOUNDING300 (tinnitus) or FOUNDING400 (hyperacusis) at checkout to apply it. (The misophonia program isn’t open for enrollment yet.)

04Onboarding forms and baseline measures

After enrollment, your assigned intake forms, health history, and starting questionnaires appear in Practice Better. Hyperacusis participants confirm their prior diagnosis and evaluation history; no new audiology testing is required before sound planning begins.

During the program

A short check-in, from the first week to the last

Brief weekly check-ins, with routine safety questions every two weeks and fuller measures at key points. They serve three practical purposes.

Catches concerns early

A positive safety screen automatically shows crisis resources and triggers the program’s fixed referral process.

Gives your coach a clear picture

Validated measures show change over time instead of relying on a guess.

Is this the right fit?

What Kodama can and cannot help with

Kodama can help if

  • Any medical cause for your tinnitus, hyperacusis, or misophonia has been ruled out or is already being managed elsewhere.
  • The distress, sleep disruption, or avoidance is what’s most affecting your life.
  • You can practice for about 30 minutes on most days, and complete a weekly module (30–45 minutes of reading) and a written check-in.

See your own provider first if

  • Your symptom is new, one-sided, pulsating, or comes with a sudden hearing change or dizziness.
  • You have untreated hearing loss without an audiology work-up.
  • You’re in crisis or experiencing an acute psychiatric need: call or text 988, or contact emergency services.

Still deciding?

Not sure which fits, or whether now is the time?

The three-minute self-assessment costs nothing and stores nothing. It can point you toward the most relevant program or suggest an outside-provider evaluation first.
