Familiar music, stories, voices, and sounds can entertain, soothe, provide orientation, and awaken memories. That’s why we have gathered free content here that brings joy to everyday life, creates structure, and enables moments of calm. The content can be used both with hörbert and on smartphones, tablets, computers, or other devices.
Below you will find four tabs that allow you to easily switch between different types of content: podcasts, web radio, downloads, and recordings.
Our podcast search accesses an external database containing podcasts on a wide range of topics – depending on individual interests or needs. To find suitable content, we recommend using specific search terms such as: “seniors,” “memories,” “history,” “news,” “crime,” “culture,” “contemporary witnesses,” “audiobook,” or similar. Once the results list appears, click on a podcast to open its detail page and obtain the direct link to the selected episode or series. The content can be listened to immediately or, if desired, added to hörbert using Browser Set Mode.
You can also select your preferred language in the search. This is helpful when looking for content in your native language or when familiar voices and sounds from earlier stages of life are important.
Podcasts can inform, soothe, and stimulate – making them a valuable part of a structured and fulfilling everyday life.
Here you will find blog articles in which we present selected, worthwhile podcasts to listen to. Short, inspiring recommendations that help you discover engaging content for the whole family.
m4d Radio is a free internet radio station that was created as part of the “Music for Dementia” campaign and offers music specifically for people living with dementia, as well as for their relatives and caregivers.
This station broadcasts around the clock and includes several thematic channels featuring music from different decades, designed to awaken memories and encourage positive emotions. Familiar melodies and songs from past times can be especially calming for people with dementia and older adults, strengthening emotional well-being and helping to activate language and memories.
You can easily listen to m4d Radio on any internet-enabled device – on a smartphone, tablet, computer, or via hörbert. These radio channels offer a wonderful way to integrate music as a source of joy, relaxation, and remembrance into everyday life.
Our web radio search accesses a large database of radio stations – ranging from music programs and cultural or spoken-word content to regional broadcasters. You can search directly for specific stations or, if a familiar radio station from earlier years comes to mind, simply enter part of its name. Other search terms, such as “oldies,” also work.
After selecting a station, you will receive a direct link for playback. The radio can be listened to immediately on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, or added to hörbert using Browser Set Mode.
Music and radio voices can convey trust and a sense of security, have a calming effect, and create a feeling of being at home.
Recommended websites with free content for seniors.
Here you will find a selection of trustworthy websites offering free audio content – such as music, readings, audiobooks, historical recordings, or relaxation programs.
These contents are particularly well suited to be consciously selected, downloaded, and made available for long-term use.
hörbert not only allows playback, but also the recording of audio content. For example, radio programs, music, or content from a Bluetooth stream can be recorded and stored permanently.
Thanks to the built-in microphone, it is also possible to create your own recordings. This opens up many individual possibilities: personal messages from loved ones, read-aloud texts, prayers, songs, or familiar voices. Such recordings can provide comfort, have a calming effect, and offer orientation – especially in challenging situations.
hörbert helps preserve meaningful sounds. They remain available, are easy to access, and can be listened to again and again – as a reliable companion in everyday life.
Personalized audio content promotes activity and participation by awakening memories, encouraging singing along or mental engagement, and stimulating the senses. It provides impulses for everyday life, strengthens cognitive and emotional activity, and thus creates joy and social connection:
