Most hearing supplements are just a bottle. NeuroCalm Pro is a bottle plus a program. You get herbal capsules and, the moment you order, access to a set of digital sound therapy sessions you can play on your phone, tablet or computer. I haven't seen many products try that combination, and I think it's a clever one.

The creator, Gerard Watson, describes himself as a long time researcher who wanted an easy, at home way for people to look after their hearing. He opens with a World Health Organization figure: around half of hearing loss can be avoided through prevention and early care. That's an encouraging place to start.

The capsule

The full label is on the site's references page. A serving is two capsules, with 30 servings per bottle:

• Fenugreek seed extract 4:1, 146 mg

• L-tyrosine, 90 mg

• Black cohosh root, 30 mg

• Oat straw, 28 mg, and saw palmetto, 28 mg

• Mexican wild yam, 16 mg

• Kelp, 15 mg

• Fennel seed extract 10:1, 10.8 mg

• Damiana 4:1, 8.5 mg

• Motherwort, 8 mg

• Blessed thistle, 6.5 mg

• Hops 4:1, 5 mg

• Dong quai, 3.2 mg

The capsules are filled out with rice flour and magnesium stearate. That's it.

A garden of traditional herbs

This is a very old fashioned herbal formula, and I mean that kindly. Oat straw has long been used as a gentle tonic for the nerves. Hops, the same flower that flavors beer, and motherwort both have a reputation for calm and better sleep. L-tyrosine is an amino acid your body uses to make dopamine and other messengers. Kelp is a sea vegetable rich in iodine and minerals.

Several others come from the traditional women's health cupboard. Black cohosh, dong quai and wild yam have centuries of use for hormonal balance, and fenugreek, fennel and blessed thistle are classic digestive and wellness herbs. Damiana is known for mood, and saw palmetto for men's health. The label itself places it under mental health. To be clear, none of these herbs has research behind it for hearing loss or tinnitus; black cohosh, dong quai, wild yam, fennel, hops and motherwort are traditionally used for menstrual and menopause symptoms.

The sound therapy side

Here's where NeuroCalm Pro sets itself apart. Your order includes the full sound therapy protocol: a 30 day kick start program, "listening session" charts and the sound sessions themselves. You can print, download and listen whenever you like.

Sound therapy is a well established approach for people bothered by ringing or a feeling of noise in the ears, and having a structured 30 day plan makes it much easier to stick with. Pairing a calming herbal capsule with a daily listening routine is a thoughtful touch. The company describes the two parts as working best together.

What it costs

• One bottle: $69

• Three bottles: $177 ($59 each)

• Six bottles: $294 ($49 each)

Every package ships free within the US, and the sound therapy program is included with each one. International orders pay a shipping fee. Checkout is a one time payment through ClickBank with no subscription, and you're covered by a 60 day "100% Healthy Or Money Back" guarantee, so you have two months to decide.

Because several of these herbs are traditionally used for hormonal balance, check with your doctor first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a hormone related or thyroid condition, have liver concerns (black cohosh has rare links to liver injury) or take a blood thinner. Fenugreek can lower blood sugar, so ask too if you take diabetes medication.

Building a listening routine

I'd set a regular time for the sound sessions, maybe in the evening when the house is quiet, and take your capsules at the same time each day so the two habits reinforce each other. Add the basics, like turning down your earbuds and wearing earplugs at loud events, and you've got a well rounded plan for your ears.
