...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...

...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...

According to the internet: Lenire officially filed its submission with the FDA on December 21, 2022. Following that, the FDA granted the De Novo approval in March 2023.

Just curious, is there really no way for people who have completed their treatment with Lenire to put it up on eBay or Amazon and sell it second-hand? Excuse my ignorance. I realize, of course, that you would need an audiologist who is well-versed in Lenire to calculate the necessary...

@Jammer, yes, the cost stopped me from trying Lenire. A well-known audiologist told me to get a referral from the VA. I got the referral, but then he told me that my insurance, or any insurance, would not cover it. I would also have to take yet another ear test for $550, an extensive one. I was...

@Cirq, those who are suffering the most often find out that the only thing that reduces is their wallet.

...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...

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...

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...

Are you sure about that?

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

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...

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...

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.

This new timeline is not cool 😢. How did Lenire make it through the FDA while this device still needs more testing before submission? I’m pretty sure Lenire didn’t even have a control group in their study. Did they mention what they’ve accomplished in the past year and a half? I think the MRI...

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...

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

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

...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...

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...

...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...

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.

No, this is the Auricle device from Susan Shore and the University of Michigan. It’s one of the top threads here. There will be a big announcement tomorrow.

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.

@Alberte, I don't know. Who cares? The way I understood the presentation with Jon Pearson is that the remaining work before approval is: Develop an integrated, market-ready device. Conduct a larger trial, since phase 2 did not show improvement in the group that received the placebo first. But...

@Nick47, how long did it take for Lenire to obtain FDA approval?

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...

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.

You are right about that.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

...answers: no promising treatment is expected in the short term. The only thing I can imagine appearing sooner is an improved version of Lenire. This device has been on the market for five years now. We can hope that Neuromod will use customer feedback to develop a device that either works...

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

Hi, how can I be part of the so-called Auricle onboarding? Is this a new device similar to Lenire or other bimodal neuromodulation treatments? From what I’ve read, Auricle doesn’t seem to exist. Can we use the TinnTester app ourselves?

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

...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.

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...

Just a hopeful note: Lenire had similar hearing loss restrictions during its clinical trials (I think it might have been 50 dB as well), but when it went to market, they allowed up to 80 dB of loss at high frequencies.

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...

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 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...

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