Frequently Asked Questions
How does ForgTin® work?
The ForgTin® ear clamps work through gentle, continuous stimulation of three specific areas around the ears.
Three targeted areas are stimulated:
- Musculus auricularis superior
- Musculus auricularis posterior
- Impulse area parasympathetic nerve
Similar to acupressure, the stimulation can lead to reductions in ringing volume, jaw tension, neck muscle tension, and stress.
How long does it take to see improvements?
Studies and user feedback show improvements over a period of 6 to 12 weeks. However, there are many sources of stress and ear ringing, which is why we require the questionnaire to determine suitability.
You can stop using ForgTin once you have seen sufficient improvement!
How do I know if ForgTin® will work for me?
ForgTin® has been available in Europe since 2020 and the feedback has been very positive with thousands of satisfied customers. Users frequently indicate reductions in ringing volume, jaw tension, neck muscle tension, and stress.
A scientific study* conducted in Europe has reinforced this feedback. According to the study, 97% of users experiences a reduction in overall volume after 12 weeks, with many seeing results within a few week’s use. In just 6 weeks, 39% of study participants experienced a reduction in stress levels, 41% benefited from reduced jaw tension, and 39% experienced reduced neck tension.
The first step for everyone would be to fill out the questionnaire. This will provide an understanding on whether or not ForgTin is suitable for you. If the questionnaire results are positive, we still want to ensure you are satisfied with the product, so we offer a 60 day money-back trial period.

Who invented ForgTin®?
The founder and inventor of ForgTin® is Klaus Grübl, CEO and owner of Pansatori based in Austria. Before inventing the device, Klaus suffered from constant, loud ear ringing that was progressively getting worse. Since bringing the ForgTin® to market, Klaus has not only helped himself but thousands of other Europeans who suffer from ear ringing and buzzing. More information can be found on the Pansatori website.
How tight should the ear clamps be?
We recommend choosing a pressure level where you can hardly feel the ForgTin® ear clamps, while they still fit firmly on the ear.
We are committed to ensuring that all ForgTin® users benefit as much as possible from ForgTin®. To achieve this, we offer personalized adjustment meetings.
What if the ear clamps are too tight?
Setting the pressure too high will feel uncomfortable shortly after putting the ear clamps on. In addition, wearing the ForgTin® ear clamps incorrectly can lead to side effects such as headaches, a feeling of pressure on the head, or insomnia.
If you feel too much pressure, reduce it until comfortable. If you need assistance adjusting your ear clamps, please contact us.
My symptoms are louder since wearing the ear clamps
It is possible that the clamp pressure is too high or the movable silicone element on the back of the clamp is pressing on the ear instead of fitting between your ear and head.
We are happy to assist you with adjusting these settings.
How long do I need to wear it?
- Please wear ForgTin® only during the day.
- Ideally, you start wearing the clamps right after getting up in the morning and take them off before going to bed.
- If you are temporarily unable to wear your ForgTin® for a few days, this is OK. Start wearing them again as soon as possible.
The effectiveness of ForgTin® varies from person to person. Some users can stop after 6 weeks while others can stop after 12 weeks or more. Use the ForgTin® app to monitor your personal progress. Once you feel you have achieved sufficient progress, you can stop wearing ForgTin®.
Can I wear ForgTin® while sleeping?
No, ForgTin® is only worn during the day. Since it could lead to unpleasant pressure and possibly even overstimulation during sleep, we do not recommend wearing ForgTin® at night or during a nap.
In order to achieve optimal results, ForgTin® should be worn during the day for as long as possible.
Can I wear ForgTin® while I exercise?
In principle, wearing ForgTin® while exercising should not be a problem. However, if it feels like the ear clamps loosen during exercise, we recommend taking them off. Generally, we recommend taking ForgTin® off while swimming or during water sports due to risk of loss.
How do I find out what size I need?
We offer a guide for measuring the correct size. Please click the link below for instructions:
Can I wear glasses with ForgTin®?
Yes, glasses do not prevent the use of ForgTin®.
Can I wear hearing aids with ForgTin?
If you use a hearing aid, there are generally no problems while also wearing ForgTin®.
However, if you wear a hearing aid with an external battery, this may interfere with the proper positioning of the ear clamps. Please contact us and we can provide assistance.
