...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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

...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...

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.

...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 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.

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 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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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...

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.

Mine is.

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

...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...

1:08:58 He says halfway through 2025 they should have data on whether it works or not.

Count mine as one. What a waste.

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.

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

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...

In Dr. Shore's clinical trial(s), the patient population was kind of small compared to Lenire. Dr. Hubert Lim also said that you really can’t have a true placebo with a device like Lenire because people can tell if they are not getting the electric stimulation. This might be the same with Auricle.

...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...

Well, Lenire has got such a bad rep here that people tend to forget it actually helps some people.

It's the other way around. Lenire was available in parts of Europe around 2019-2020, so years before America. Yes, frequently checking here is fruitless.

Does anyone experience serious brain fog after Lenire?

...to the device’s potential to help us. I also don’t believe that something reaching the market quickly means it is effective. Just look at Lenire. It rushed onto the market, and it is not something I would even consider trying. The same goes for many of the obvious scam treatments...

In Kelly Assouly’s thesis, tinnitus pitch matching was performed, so this approach likely only works for tonal tinnitus—similar to bimodal neurostimulation, as promoted by Brai3n for Lenire in Ghent.

I think Dr. Shore's placebo was related to the timing.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Lenire. Lenire caused me serious side effects as well. What did they tell you about whether the device is working properly or not? I imagine they wouldn’t admit if it’s malfunctioning, but they might offer you an alternative device. I’m interested...

No, I've kind of dropped that. Maybe it had a beneficial effect, especially at a micro-microdosing level, but in the end, my experience with Lenire is what I described above. If I am having a really bad stretch, it is something I can pull out and probably will lower my distress modestly over a...

Completed 15 rounds of HBOT but no improvement of Level 5T in right ear. LLLT Did not help. Now on 4th day of Lenire unit.

This is a BIG problem. Tinnitus UK and the American Tinnitus Association should NOT take money from Lenire and have them sponsor their events and website. They do mention in small print that they don't endorse Lenire but that doesn't help: it still gives credibility to Lenire in most people's...

Does this change your opinion about Lenire at all?

There was an interesting article in the Washington Post today about Lenire and the Shore device. It basically said Lenire works for some and the Shore device is similar to Lenire and is waiting for FDA approval.

...as it didn’t provide any noticeable benefit for my tinnitus. For me, it was ultimately a disappointment. However, some people insist that Lenire has been a significant success for them. Purchasing this device is certainly a risk, and the manufacturers make it clear there are no guarantees...

So if Susan Shore is still years away, how was Lenire able to get approved so quickly?

@gracepixie, great to hear that you are improving! I am trying to begin habituation by treating the tones as background noise or personal songs, but it is still a daily struggle. I still track the tones about 90 percent of the time, even when I am outdoors. The high pitched ringing and static...

...researchers advise against using or participating in studies involving bimodal neuromodulation. An example mentioned in this online article is Lenire: → Zweifel an Lenire: Tinnitus-Experten warnen vor Therapie (tinnitusheilen.de) In my opinion, the researchers at UZH are not fully aware of...

...is not truly objective. A sound signal, on the other hand, is external and objective—your therapist is not. Your entire point about Lenire actually highlights the issue of poor, dishonest, and non-independent research. If you accept the premise that research for antidepressants is not fully...

Please remember that a small clinical trial group emphasizes both super responders and super non-responders. Both can skew data in either direction.

The FDA does not care about commercial success. Their primary concern is determining whether the device poses an unacceptable risk of negative impacts to the end user.

Yes, 80% success as measured in what? What success? Measuring fucking what? 80% got a new job after Lenire? 80% reduced depression? Look at the outcome measures!
