What does
Koen
do?
Koen is the driving force behind Tinzo. Driven by personal involvement and a strong vision for mental health, he developed Tinzo as an accessible and effective self-help method for people with tinnitus. He combines entrepreneurship with a human-centered approach and is the one who engages with healthcare providers and investors to advance Tinzo.
About
In 2018, Koen Broos himself experienced tinnitus and hyperacusis. This experience profoundly changed his life: work, hobbies, and social contacts came under pressure. He quickly noticed that the standard response — "you just have to learn to live with it" — offered little comfort, especially combined with long waiting times and a lack of specific help. Over time, Koen found ways to understand what tinnitus is, how it develops, and how to approach it differently. Now, the condition no longer affects his life, and what once seemed impossible is once again possible. From this personal transformation, Tinzo was created: an app that does not eliminate tinnitus but helps to push it to the background and experience space.
