IMHO, your post comes across as victim-blaming.

After reading many disheartening responses about Lenire, I quit. Nothing helps my T except for benzodiazepines. Case closed.

Lenire turned out to be just another placebo that turned bad for most people who tried it. Some found relief, many did not.

I'm about to end week six of my Lenire treatment. This week, I went three consecutive days without tinnitus. However, I woke up with a spike yesterday morning, and my tinnitus returned to its uncomfortable worst. This has been the pattern since I started the treatment: good days and bad...

There are numerous entries in this thread where concerns about the DeNovo status after Lenire are being raised, as you can ascertain by google searching this thread. As to their merit, I'm not the expert on that. Some random examples: ---------- Regardless if it's a requirement or not...

The delay for Lenire was because the FDA made them go do another clinical study before approval. Shore's study is way more robust, US based, and created with the idea of FDA approval process in mind. I know nothing about nothing, but I'd be pretty surprised if they made her go through another...

So looking at this and knowing a bit about my experience and others' reported here, I wonder if Lenire doesn't just act on the medial pathway. It would explain the sort of handwaving descriptions (it's not quieter, but maybe just not as bothersome) that positive responders have had.

I remember reading that hyperacusis patients have the most success with Lenire.

I am wondering how Dr. Shore could conduct a placebo group and Neuromod couldn't. Both are bimodal stimulation approaches. So why Neuromod hasn't done that with Lenire? By the way, there is not much news about Lenire... I know why...

What Neuromod are claiming is that Lenire reduces TFI/THI. That's what they consider "tinnitus levels", however that is not measuring volume. What TFI/THI measures is your REACTION to tinnitus. That is why it is a habituation device. Because it only manages your reaction to your tinnitus, and...

Have people with sound reactive tinnitus, with or without hyperacusis, had good results with Lenire?

There was a lady called, @AliceW, who claimed to suffer trigeminal neuralgia following Lenire use, although to the best of my knowledge she didn't update her situation on Tinnitus Talk. @Kam75 was in touch with her for a while.

Holy Smokes! Lenire is now available in increasing numbers throughout the USA!

Thanks for sharing! I'm so happy something like this works for you! Did you present with reactive tinnitus while using Lenire, or has your tinnitus been more constant and not sensitive to sounds in your environment?

...You're a rock star. I'm going to use some of your advice on my worst days (I have Lorazepam instead of Xanax). Also, I have never heard of Lenire! I'll have to look it up. Thanks for sharing everything. It's awesome to hear you are winning the battle. Even if it's taking longer than we...

Why? With Bluetooth you do not have to care about another wire (you already have one from the tongue tip to the device). I use Lenire and am happy with it!

I am an atheist but I might just start to believe in a God if Dr. Shore's device proves to be as effective as we all hope. If it's turns out to be a Lenire MkII - my atheism will be confirmed.

Because Lenire is a habituation device. It does not lower tinnitus volume. Dr. Shore's device does. It reduced tinnitus volume by 50-75% in 12 weeks in her last human trial.

...three years, at 96. I am highly handicapped each day, and cannot even imagine what a lower THI would be like. What sort of actual change would Lenire bring me? There are 288 pages of discussion on here, and such a mix of opinions ranging from "apocalyptically life-shattering" to "total...

Well, bye bye Lenire! Next time, perhaps include a control group!

On the other hand, we don't know for sure that it wasn't submitted to the FDA a while ago, possibly even last year. But I agree that preparing for the worst-case scenario is not a bad idea.

Yeah, she said she's sleeping better and got her life back, but she didn't say Lenire actually reduced her tinnitus at all, probably because it didn't.

Recently I completed my treatment with Lenire using their device as prescribed. I will do my best to remain factual and refrain from subjective commentary. Here are the facts from my experience. I was drawn to Lenire largely because of its FDA approval here in the US. I also read their posted...

A bit of both. The science is more rigorous, and the targeting mechanism is more precise.

How loud is your tinnitus? Would you say more mild to moderate, or severe and can't be masked?

...and reading posts from @linearb about their experience with the device, I’m feeling a bit more hopeful. Based on my research, it appears that Lenire was submitted to the FDA on August 18, 2021, and wasn't approved until March 6, 2023, according to this FDA document. So, if that's any...

"on your road to recovery" is what they should be saying.

Well, that seems to be the first definitive report in favor of Lenire here?

...started in 2010, there is definitely more research and awareness of this condition. It's been slow progress but increasing recently. Although Lenire doesn't appear to be 'The One,' it is the first treatment to get FDA approval. It's a huge milestone really. This will get others interested in...

...of compression/decompression used. It's not so much the latency itself that matters (this can range from 30-200 ms), but how stable it is. A stable latency (which is possible with better codecs) can be compensated for and, in the case of Lenire, can be reliably synced with the electrical pulses.

I completely agree, @EDDTEKK. I am happy for the very few Lenire has helped, everyone deserves relief and improvement, but it has worsened more people than it has helped, and therefore should not be given any money. Thank God we have Susan Shore to provide something that will be much, much...

Regardless of what the studies say, there is still a chance of worsening tinnitus, in a similar way that Lenire is a complete gamble.

...The wording is purposefully and deceitfully written in this precise way to make you think it lowers volume - and if it was ever questioned, they can clearly show it's never mentioned. MODERATOR NOTE: Further Lenire discussion belongs here: Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

Having good and bad days is normal. With or without 'treatment'.

I think that if you don’t experience any relief within 6 months, it’s nonsense to proceed with the device. It’s the same with Lenire. This is also valid for Neurofeedback. The doctors have always told me about this 6 month period. It seems to be some standard neurological treatment limit.

Isn't it strange that Lenire never explicitly required "somatic tinnitus", even though the University of Minnesota trials it was based on did require somatic tinnitus. Could that be why it doesn't work for so many people?

...a question? How do we remain optimistic about these middle-ear implants and Auricle (I have never heard about brain implants) when things like Lenire & OTO-313 were hyped up and both were failures? The only thing about the middle-ear implants I am going by is that this has been taken from the...

Lenire is pretty much a SCAM. If you are new to Tinnitus Talk, read this whole thread.

Neuromod had to be, it was the only way they could possibly make any money. If Lenire had come out after Dr. Shore's device, I doubt nowhere near as many people would take a chance on it.

Barely enough to feel it, huh? So, aside from the Lenire effectiveness, does the Ketamine seem to help with anxiety at that low dose?

Does Lenire cause you to feel sleepy? Why do you suspect that happens?

This thread worries me a great deal. There must be a balance on this unsubstantiated 'hype.' Agreed. Dr. Shore's device won't be the last 'device' or 'contraption' to claim to reduce tinnitus. I believe it may even be detrimental. I advise everyone on Tinnitus Talk not to be the first or...

I wrote to Dr. Lim to know more about whas seems to be another clinical trial on Lenire. I received this answer:

...took the De Novo route at FDA, things are unfortunately delayed as the device is no longer De Novo because Neuromod completed the route with Lenire. Auricle will be a Class II device: FDA: Product Classification - Combined acoustic and electrical external stimulation device for the relief of...

That's the nightmare I am afraid of. They did this to Lenire (which of course was a sham). I guess there's a way to pay off FDA's buddies.

Dear @HighlyTall and @Nick47, In Colon et al. (2022), figure 9 elaborates on the question "Overall, would you say you have benefited from using this device (i.e. Lenire)?" 70.3% says "Yes."' 29.7% says "No." This is less than the 80% I mentioned. Kind regards, Jan

Wasn't the University of Minnesota device similar to Lenire? Sound with the electrical impulses to the tongue? I would assume it would have similar results as Lenire.

From your earlier comment about Neuromod, I thought maybe you had used and been burned by Lenire. So, I was not surprised to see your follow up and pessimism after wasting all that time and money. But, the study for the Shore/Auricle device looks more convincing, and that it could work. Results...

You’re the funniest person I’ve seen on Tinnitus Talk. I’m glad you’re here with us, but at the same time, I wish you didn’t have to be here and go through this pain. Still, I want to thank you for the humor in your posts. Even when I’m feeling my worst, I stumble upon something you’ve written...

...as accomplished. I expect great things from them working together. Yes, UCI is a very respected institution. What you learned from using Lenire has absolutely nothing to do with the Shore device and whatever it is you made. Lenire is only superficially similar to the Shore device, the two...

...the study and even more surprised that they were resolved during the trial. From my experience, I have come across just as many stories about Lenire causing a worsening as success stories. One positive takeaway from this is the relatively small sample size—only 112 participants. This should...

I got an email from Lenire yesterday with the names and addresses of clinics in the area. They seem to be distributing the device fairly quickly. I just hope Dr. Shore's device gets out at the same rate.

...it was 15 kHz) bilateral tinnitus level was measured at 40 dB, and she did a 50 dB inverse mask noise for 1 minute, which made my tinnitus drop out for 30-45 seconds. In the last year, my tinnitus level has doubled to the point of seeking treatment. I am looking into Lenire and Nuheara for...

I’m a new user of the Lenire device. I’ve completed 3 treatments and seeking positive feedback from others.
