...might be worth trying. The research so far seems fairly promising, even though there are some limitations, such as small sample sizes. However, when I contacted a UK clinic that offers Lenire, they told me it is not appropriate for pulsatile tinnitus. Really? Can that be right? Does anyone...

...chart review demonstrating effectiveness of bimodal neuromodulation for tinnitus treatment in a clinical setting This is basically about Lenire. The conclusion from the article was: “These findings show that the Lenire device can be used to safely and effectively reduce tinnitus in a...

...that if I am stressed, the pitch definitely is very high. I can bear it if I keep busy and don’t think about it. My last effort is to try Lenire in the United States. It’s a very expensive proposition. I just want to know if anyone who has tinnitus as a result of Ramsay Hunt syndrome and...

...audiologist to establish care and discuss hearing aids for masking. Two audiologists greeted me and introduced me to a representative from Lenire. The three of them then spent an hour delivering what felt like a scripted hard sell for Lenire. I am talking about sales tactics that resembled...

Now all Lenire needs is to introduce an after-sales follow-up, a heavy-duty persuasion session to convince the patient that their tinnitus has been cured. Like, no one can hear it... it is all in the mind. Just kidding. That said, I must confess that I benefited from TRT treatment back in the...

What Is Lenire? Lenire is a newly launched treatment for tinnitus, which is claimed to reduce ringing in the ears. Lenire was brought to market by Irish medical device company Neuromod, after having conducted several clinical trials to assess its safety and efficacy. Post Your Experiences...

Thank you for sharing your experience. How the Lenire device received FDA approval is a mystery to me.

I concluded my 12-week Lenire treatment about two months ago and wanted to share a progress update. As most of you know, Lenire isn't designed to bring you back to the good old pre-tinnitus days. Its goal is to reduce your fixation on the sound. I consider my treatment a success and well worth...

Here I am, extrapolating on something I only half understand. But if I recall correctly, Lenire is a combination of sound therapy and a device that “tickles your tongue.” To be a bit fairer, it also involves guided counselling, which in the early stages of tinnitus can be quite important. From...

Yes, I haven’t used Lenire in months, but I still feel my brain shift my tinnitus into the background when I start focusing on something else. It’s still just as loud during quiet moments, though. That said, I went to a conference this week, and my tinnitus wasn’t on my mind nearly as much as...

You are really reaching, my friend, and also being very generous about the merits of Lenire.

I just tried to establish care with a new audiologist. Two audiologists greeted me and then introduced a representative from Lenire. The three of them spent the next hour delivering a highly scripted, high-pressure sales pitch for Lenire. It felt like a timeshare presentation. I have...

I’ll take the unpopular side of advocating for Lenire. It didn’t make my tinnitus quieter, but it has helped my mind deprioritize it. Before Lenire, it seemed like my tinnitus would get louder whenever I concentrated, had a conversation, or became interested in something. Shortly after starting...

It was the same for me.

My guess is the FDA doesn't want another Lenire?

There should be a 'scam treatments' subforum for stuff like Lenire.

Lenire and Auricle operate in different ways. Lenire works by increasing hyperactivity in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) to distract the brain from tinnitus. In contrast, Auricle reduces hyperactivity, aiming to address the underlying issue directly.

...is sitting unused on a university shelf. Dr. Hubert Lim is currently the Chief Scientific Officer at Neuromod, the company that developed Lenire, which unfortunately showed only modest results. The great hope is that Neuromod will eventually release an improved version of Lenire, drawing on...

After what seemed like a long wait for the tinnitus community, Neuromod Devices in June 2019 launched its tinnitus treatment device called Lenire™. The device has a long history, so for you relatively new to the discussion, let us give you a recap of what has transpired so far. MuteButton...

...feeling.” We have no recent updates from him, which makes me think he is probably living a relatively normal life now (I hope so). Regarding Lenire, I said “modest results” because, on the internet, we mostly come across negative feedback. People who get better rarely come back to the...

...yet. It covers the topic of our currently most active thread, which has been viewed over half a million times. We mean of course Neuromod’s Lenire treatment. Check out the ongoing discussion about it here. It’s an extra-long episode, because so many questions were raised on our forum about...

I visited a Neurotologist and he said he could fix my temporal bone but he doesn't think it's related to my left ear tinnitus. He commented that Lenire helped some people.

That’s what I’m thinking. Even though the devices are different, the FDA may be more cautious about approving the Shore device after witnessing the failure of Lenire.

I purchased a Lenire in 2023. I followed the recommended treatment prescribed by the audiologist, and since that had no effect, I also tried alternative approaches, such as shortening the duration of use. That also did nothing for me. For $4,000, I expected more than nothing.

I believe you are right to be suspicious. Thank you for expressing what most people feel.

I also suffered from sudden sensorineural hearing loss in October. I am getting along and improving slowly. I am using Lenire, and it helps mask my tinnitus really well. I also notice that my tinnitus fades from my awareness a few times a day, which never happened before I started using Lenire...

A clinic in my country that uses Lenire claims a 97% success rate. Obviously, that's not accurate, but I'm still unsure whether it does work or not.

The studies conducted by Lenire lack scientific rigor. If I remember correctly, they did not include a control group, among other factors, which significantly undermines its value as a treatment. In contrast, Susan Shore has 20 years of research with a higher-quality study methodology. So, even...

You are right about that.

I recommend reading the Lenire thread in Treatments. Quite a few people have reported a worsening of symptoms, sometimes long-term. A few have seen improvement, but I’m personally staying away from Lenire.

Lenire and Dr. Shore's devices are not the same. Dr. Shore’s device relies on the precise timing of electrical impulses, developed through years of research, to attenuate specific aspects of the dorsal cochlear nucleus.

...The doctor never told me they don’t take insurance. Other audiologists were the same, no cash, no deal. I begged for someone to let me try Lenire, but there was no mercy. All about the money. Kent Taylor flew to Ireland because he had the money to get the Lenire treatment, which was invented...

Exactly.

...phenomenon that exists in your body, whether it is a blood vessel or some other condition that creates noise near your hearing system. Lenire and other similar treatments are designed for those who hear phantom sounds, meaning sounds that are generated internally by neurons increasing their...

This is it. Companies like Neuromod make no mention of natural improvement over time or the placebo effect. Avoid Lenire.

As far as I understand, the working mechanisms of Lenire for tinnitus and Dr. Shore’s device are almost the same. So why is Lenire considered ineffective? From what I know, clinical trials showed it had even higher effectiveness than Dr. Shore’s device (around 80%). However, we still don’t have...

Lenire may not be the overwhelming success we all hoped for, but it is still a treatment option—though a very expensive one. Some people might not be satisfied with how the research study was designed, such as the absence of a placebo group, or with how the results were reported (e.g., “91.5% of...

I’m going to assume this is due to the less-than-ideal results of Lenire.

@linearb said earlier he was thinking he would go ahead and try Lenire. He was a participant in the Susan Shore clinical trial, so it says a lot to me if he thinks it might be worth a shot to try Lenire.

The Bionics Institute found that people with very severe tinnitus have reduced cerebral blood flow in certain areas of the brain. Whether this is caused by the stress of having tinnitus or is actually contributing to the generation of tinnitus itself, no one knows for sure. In my opinion...

...most people recover naturally. It’s a lazy research design. In the case of Dr. Djalilian, it’s selective patient criteria meant to obscure the fact that the treatment doesn’t actually work. You could have people inhale their own breath, and just as many would show improvement as with Lenire.

Lenire is not a scam. It just doesn’t work for anyone. :troll:

In the Dr. Shore device, the tone played matches the frequency of the tinnitus. This is not the case with the Lenire device. The Lenire team analyzed trial participants who, by chance, had tinnitus at the same frequency as the tone played by the device but found no improved response in these...

4 years and counting... silence is but a distant memory. Found a Lenire resource. Tempted.

Lenire’s advertising was somewhat misleading. Upon closer reading, it became clear that Lenire only claimed a certain percentage of users were less bothered by their tinnitus—not that the decibel level was reduced or that the tones shifted to a more bearable pitch. Similar relief might be found...

I forgot to mention this earlier, but the Lenire representative actually told me that the increase in my tinnitus after my acoustic trauma two years ago was psychosomatic, simply because I had very mild tinnitus before it. This, despite the fact that I could barely hear it in a quiet room back...

I don’t know the results of your hearing test, but if the audiologist recommends hearing aids and your insurance or the VA covers them, it’s worth giving them a try. I have severe pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear and moderate in my right. Besides improving my hearing, the hearing aids also help...

There might be one reason to visit the audiologist again. It’s possible that your Lenire device is not properly calibrated to your hearing. You could ask the audiologist to re-test your hearing and adjust the settings on the Lenire accordingly. Considering the cost of the device, it’s probably...

I’ve slowly lost interest over the course of all this, but do we actually have any information that things went wrong? I also feel like there might be something fishy about this story, but maybe I missed something.

Lenire is sponsoring Tinnitus UK for Tinnitus Week. I hope they have made a substantial donation, but it is disappointing to see Tinnitus UK promoting a device that, at best, is ineffective for most people and, at worst, worsens symptoms for some.

Lenire is not a scam. It just doesn’t work for everyone.

Mine is.

...companies like Aetna cover TENS electrical stimulation for tinnitus. They have a long list of treatments they don’t cover or consider experimental, including HBOT, Lenire, and even TRT and sound therapy. However, I had never heard of using TENS around the ear for tinnitus. Does it actually work?

If Lenire was able to reach the market, it would be an absolute shame if the “Susan Shore device” did not. I don’t expect it to be a miracle cure, but I do believe it will be reasonably more effective than Lenire for a significant number of people—almost certainly. Any progress in reducing...

Hey, could you tell me how you reached out to them? I know a different company took over to handle Lenire for Neuromod, but I've lost all contact information. Neuromod hasn't replied to my email, so I'm a little unsure how to reach them these days.

Count mine as one. What a waste.

Tinnitus worse after using Lenire? Same here! I spent $4,500 on the device and audiology services, plus an additional $500 on travel. After completing the full 84-hour protocol, the volume and intensity of my tinnitus actually worsened. When I reached out to the Lenire provider to request an...

...with Ross O'Neill where he said tinnitus patients with hyperacusis had better outcomes than non-hyperacusis patients with tinnitus when using Lenire. He wasn't super clear what those better outcomes were - an improvement in hyperacusis, tinnitus, or both. Needless to say, I was left hanging...

I mean it sounds like you're struggling a lot to establish a noteworthy kinship between two treatments, by the sole virtue of Hubert Lim's role in the R&D of both. On those grounds, the suggestion that these two types of treatments might be compatible (at all) seems like quite some leap, don't...

Day 15 of Lenire treatments. 8 kHz T levels mostly unchanged 2L and 5R. Was told this can take 12 weeks to hear improvement.
