About Tinzo
Home / About / Tinzo
Tinzo was born out of experience, developed with care.
Tinnitus can feel lonely, overwhelming, and relentless. Tinzo has been developed to offer an alternative path. A path where you are supported, understood, and equipped with tools that truly help.
The story
From noise to calm,
the story behind Tinzo
Tinzo originated from the personal experience of founder Koen. In 2018, he was faced with tinnitus and hyperacusis. That changed everything. His work stopped, hobbies faded into the background, and his social life was under pressure.
The frustration over the remark: “You just have to learn to live with it,” and the lack of targeted help combined with long waiting times made Koen feel, like so many others, that he was standing alone.
Today, tinnitus or hyperacusis is no longer a determining factor in Koen's life. Everything that once seemed impossible is possible again. What was crucial in this? Understanding what tinnitus is, how it works, and how to approach it differently.
Tinzo does not eliminate tinnitus or hyperacusis, but it does help you to bring it to the background. It doesn’t have to play a life-defining role anymore. Change is possible. You can (and may) experience space again.
