@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...

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

...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...

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!

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.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing this article with us.

Well, many of those who have genuinely disabling tinnitus would come back to report of their success with Lenire (if there was any success to be reported about, that is.) Not everyone of course, but in our experience the severe sufferers are more likely to report back on things. We also...

They were using WellsCare lasers. Maybe I should strap an IASO Ultra in the neck. If it doesn't work, I saved $4000 compared to Lenire. ;)

Lenire can NEVER make a THI of 75 to a THI of 15-20. If Tom Blomfield really did have a THI of 75, he probably wouldn't have been able to work for three years and would have sunk into depression. (I tested Lenire here in Munich back in 2021; it did nothing, zero.)

I just skimmed through the Q&A since it is over four hours long. I watched the section about Susan Shore and Lenire, but I did not hear any updates about the TU Delft Tinnitus Device. Was it mentioned at any point during the Q&A?

...the FDA. I know it’s a long shot, but if more complaints start coming in, you’d hope the FDA would step in and take action. This could force Lenire to either improve or, at the very least, add a warning to their device, acknowledging the risk of making the condition permanently worse. Right...

Lenire uses a Bluetooth system, which is a disaster for a system where the timing must be precise to a millisecond range. This unnecessarily complicated design makes Lenire closer to a teleshopping gadget than a medical device. Comparing Lenire with real bimodal treatment devices makes no sense.

If Lenire could be approved with just two clinical trials, Auricle could also be approved. It's non-invasive, meaning the clinical trial requirements are less stringent.

By some accounts, it helps MOST people—I've heard 75%, according to one audiologist. Never forget the sampling bias of getting your reviews from a sick-person forum. Don't get me wrong; I'm still afraid to try it, but thousands of people have now used Lenire, and almost no one on Tinnitus Talk has.

I am slightly cautious about Dr. Hubert Lim, but maybe I don’t know all the facts. He seems proud that Lenire is a “habituation” device, not a treatment to reduce tinnitus. Does he understand the severity of this condition? Will he be pushing for silence?

There's a user experiences thread with 50+ reports. Most people say it's trash.

I’m confused. How is this any different from what’s been discussed in this entire thread? Also, it seems very expensive if it “only works for some.”

Out of curiosity, how long was the time frame for FDA submission and approval for Lenire? I was just wondering if it's worth comparing the length of time for submission and approval between Lenire and Auricle. This might be hard to do, as we don't know if/when Auricle is going to submit...

Excuse me, I want to keep the temperature down here, but if @linearb was cured, as I seem to remember reading, why would he want to go and get cured again? I apologize if I have got my wires crossed, i.e. got confused.

...having an objective tinnitus measurement helps anyone, we only have to look at what happened with Neuromod. Around the time Neuromod released Lenire, the company started posting online videos where patients described waking up to no tinnitus after completing their treatment. Irrespective of...

I’d be interested in an analysis of whether this data changes the overall outlook on Lenire as a tool. I also (speculating here) wonder if Dr. Lim’s role with the company may be to continue to develop Lenire to more closely mirror the signal timing that the Shore device uses (i.e., are they /...

Everything under the sun is apparently helping "some people." Lenire, TRT, CBT, craniosacral therapy, diets, random cocktails of vitamins and minerals, the list goes on and on. I personally find "some people are susceptible to treatment A while others are susceptible to treatment B" a far less...

I would love to be wrong, but I do not think any weakening of the FDA will make much of a difference. I would love to see Lenire, with their fresh influx of funding, $10 million on top of the previous $33 million, license the technology from the University of Michigan for a next generation...

Or will the FDA go hard on Dr. Shore's device because Lenire turned out to be harmful to some...

NPR covered two tinnitus sufferers who are using Lenire, and one of the doctors (the founder of Lenire) discussed how it works and the benefits it brings. This was reported today on the NPR website. It appears miraculous in reducing tinnitus loudness if used regularly, and both sufferers can...

To Lenire.. Or not to Lenire. That is the question. Insurance doesn't cover costs so big gamble. Any thoughts?

Different submission requirements entirely. Apples, Oranges.

I believe the doctor suggested treating hyperacusis before using Lenire to achieve better results.

For those of you who benefited from Lenire, on a scale of 1-10, how much tinnitus reduction did you get on average?

I purchased my Lenire device in December 2023 from Gatwick Audiology. Prince, the audiologist, was very nice and believed I was a good candidate for Lenire. My Tinnitus Handicap Score is 76, and my tinnitus is bilateral. I have only a very slight hearing loss in my left ear, which has been...

PDF attached for anyone who would like to read it. This doesn't include the interactive widgets that were part of the story or some of the graphics formatted properly, but the text is all there. Whether this is our panacea or not, publicity is a good thing.

...make your own bimodal device, and that doesn't mean it will work as well as the Auricle device. It doesn't make it the same. I didn't say Lenire is a placebo effect. I said that at least some will experience an improvement using Lenire due to the placebo effect. One study showed 20% to 25%...

Thanks - that's really helpful.

...main topics discussed were CBT and tinnitus disorder, both of which were frequently mentioned. A few questions were asked about XEN1011 and Lenire & Dr. Shore devices. Dr. Langguth mentioned that Lenire is a good option for some patients when compared to other alternatives. Did he hint at...

The results show it is effective in reducing tinnitus distress in some patients. No evidence of loudness, so in that respect NO.

One of the reasons I did not believe Lenire could work was its use of Bluetooth to transfer sound to the headphones. Before AI, I struggled to find a definitive answer on whether Bluetooth can be synchronized with TENS electric pulses down to the millisecond, but I was fairly certain it could...

I'm surprised at you!

I think it is better to look at relevant research about Lenire itself than to check the economic performance of Audio Noord... My experience with Dr. Kleine Punte is positive. The first appointment was in real life (audiogram, assessing tinnitus severity, general introduction to Lenire and...

A researcher here thinks the timing precision is maybe not that critical: Tinnitus Models — Learn How Tinnitus Originates

I think Lenire and Dr. Shore's device have very different actual mechanisms and outputs. A friend of mine got great results with Lenire, though; he swore by it. However, I haven’t tried it because the clinical trials were a shambles, and I’m scared that if I do and the Shore device happens to...

Has anyone bought Lenire in 2020 and still uses it after this many years? Do you think the device still works safely?

And they are such control freaks that they will not allow you to sell the device to someone else and have it recalibrated for the new user. You have to buy the device new, either directly from them or through an audiologist, who then tests and calibrates it specifically for you. If they would...

I think I'm going to save my money for the Shore device.

Would it be worth getting Dr. Hubert Lim from Neuromod to do a discussion? He recently mentioned improving Lenire and how it’s not working for everyone. I think this would give us a chance to probe him further.

I’d read the Lenire User Experiences thread very carefully before I went forward with it.

I’ve read the recent user experiences of Lenire on Tinnitus Talk and they don’t sound too good. One of them got their Lenire from the Minnesota clinic that I called a few days ago. Seems like a thumbs down at this point.

Auricle is really no different to Lenire. Both are bimodal stimulation. I am lost as to how you have managed to convince yourself that Lenire is just a placebo effect.

Lenire costs around $5k.

I checked out the Lenire website. I was very surprised at how many places are marked on the map where you can get the device — hundreds of cities. So, I would expect hundreds of patient experiences to come. There are only two options. Patients are not interested in Lenire, or are not interested...

Here's a 5 month update, having started Lenire on June 25, 2023. In my previous post, I noted that Lenire had added a new sound to my tinnitus on November 15, 2023. It was a clicking sound and quite annoying. At its worst, it sounded like a Geiger counter next to a radioactive source. Lots of...

Maybe try Lenire? Tinnitus Clinic I talked to today want $500 for assessment and about $4000 for Lenire. I guess it has helped quite a few people dramatically. The only trial they have is in-clinic though. I may try Lenire but they are booked up until February sometime.

Do we know how Lenire did theirs? Because it's a non invasive device that interfaces with the user in a similar way (even though Lenire seems to suck). Maybe they'll use Lenire as an outline on how to get approval.

1-2.

Lenire is fancy TRT in my opinion. My THI is out of scale (72, maybe 6 after habituation in 2004). Note the descending graph immediately at the start. You habituate. 12 points on THI isn't a big deal. Maybe try Lenire on subjects with 10 years of chronic tinnitus. That is probably another...

I bought Lenire for $3800, hoping that it would relieve my tinnitus. I followed my doctor's advice and used it twice a day for 30 minutes. After four months, I had to stop because it made my tinnitus twice as bad as when I started. Lenire never says in its information that your tinnitus can get...

So your tinnitus is manageable using the Lenire device? If so, how often do you use it?

Lenire is not based on University of Minnesota's trials. Lenire used to be called MuteButton and it came to be long before Hubert Lim started his University of Minnesota work with his device (that never came to fruition because he sold his soul to Lenire).

Although you only have to read through the hundreds of success stories on here to see that hyperacusis symptoms typically reduce or disappear around the 12-24 month stage - usually without using Lenire. Potentially placebo.

Worthless crap that "independent" study, just like Lenire is. No placebo control whatsoever.
