Frequently Asked Questions
We haven’t started yet, although we have some ideas, and it is a project we’d like to see in the future.
Yes, you certainly can. This training method is based on spotting the difference between two audio samples, so the listening environment is not critical.
By default, we allow to activate the software on two different computers (laptop and desktop, for example) as long as they are not used at the same time.
However, if you ever need more or have any problems with your activations, just contact us, and we will work it out.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a demo version right now. But you can always check out our videos and screenshots. These are some of them:

TrainYourEars requires an Internet connection for the initial activation.
If your computer is not connected to the Internet and you need to activate the software, you can temporarily connect it to the Internet to perform the activation. Once the software is activated, you can disconnect it from the Internet again. If you try to open the software without an Internet connection in the future, it should work without any issues.
If you have any problems activating the software, you can contact us.
If you are getting a “No more installs available” error, please update to the latest version of TrainYourEars. You can use this page to get your Download Links and License Key:
