It was the same for 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’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...

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...

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...

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 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.

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

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.

...on YouTube for free, combined with a few “learn to live with it” tips—advice that even ChatGPT can offer nowadays—to people who are desperate. Lenire is included in that group. There is no proven medication that lowers tinnitus on its own, except possibly Trobalt, though we will likely never...

I have had pulsatile tinnitus for a little over three months. It began after I took Lexapro for six days. I stopped taking the medication, but the pulsatile tinnitus has never stopped. Since then, I have developed a tone in my left ear that comes and goes throughout the day. I also experience a...

Thanks - that's really helpful.

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

...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...

...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...

What dose of Mirtazapine and Duloxetine did you take, or are you currently taking?

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

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...

...said otherwise, I was convinced the tinnitus would never get better. My life came to a stop, and I could no longer function. In 2019, I tried Lenire. It brought a small amount of relief, but not enough. I stopped using it after two years. I was very close to contacting Dignitas or Pegasus...

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

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

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?

...with more severe cases, making it a little easier for them to relax. Also, I can’t pretend that the prospect of snake oil treatments like Lenire losing all legitimacy and funding isn’t a bit of a perk. Don’t give up hope. It’s entirely possible that something off-label isn’t far away to at...

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...

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...

...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?

I just had a follow-up audiogram after my ENT requested it. By the way, I’ve been using the Lenire system for four months now. At my second follow-up session, I requested to switch the track from #1 to #6. Why the FDA hasn’t approved all the tracks remains a mystery. Track #1 combines noise...

@gracepixie, it sounds like you are making good progress! Lenire is not available in my country. I manage by keeping myself busy with work and trying hard to ignore it, though sometimes I just give up and lean into the beeps, buzzing, and strange “melodies.” I find that podcasts through...

...month, it had changed to a twinkly sound. In the third month, it became more like a glass-cutting noise with laser beeps. Now, after using Lenire and starting Paxil, it has taken on a more metallic quality, which is an improvement. The beeping and zapping have also calmed down a bit, though...

@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...

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...

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.

I'm in the exact same situation. My right ear suddenly worsened for no apparent reason, and I've been feeling suicidal and desperate for the past week. My tinnitus is multi-tonal and over 14,000 Hz. Strangely, when I press on my skull, it temporarily goes away or becomes more tolerable. I'm...

...that at some point, I will struggle with withdrawal, which will likely make both the tinnitus and my anxiety worse. I have read about the Lenire device, but I am skeptical because of the mixed reviews on this forum and elsewhere. I am so desperate that I feel like I have to try...

...really helped move the tinnitus into the background and allowed me to sleep; better than I did before the tinnitus, honestly. Now I'm using Lenire and seeing some good success with it, although it's still early. I'm wondering if sensitivity to ASMR could be a good predictor of responsiveness...

...what they're observing in that regard. Questions like, what does the average time since tinnitus onset appear to be for those patients using Lenire? And, is the audiologist using any kind of tinnitus loudness measure, like MML for example, prior to and after treatment? Have you considered...

...and clinical trials. However, this thread began in 2013, so I hope you’re wrong and the FDA approves the Shore device in 2025. I haven’t used Lenire (I couldn’t afford it), but I personally know an audiologist who has seen patients experience improvements from using it. Lenire’s FDA approval...

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.

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...

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.

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

I understand that you feel duped about this whole situation, but what if some of those people actually did wake up with reduced or no tinnitus? Are you saying you would have waited for a clinical diagnosis or test before buying the device? What if a brain scan showed activity, yet the person...

...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...

...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...

...Netflix are completely irrelevant here. Why discuss the amount of work required to build a Facebook clone when a website on the level of, say, Lenire, can be created in a week? Or, if working at a more relaxed pace, in a month? This can be achieved either by writing the website’s code and CMS...

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...

...One of them sold me “sound therapy” devices, but they have not made much of a difference so far. The other audiologist offers the Lenire treatment, but I am hesitant to try it due to negative experiences I have read about in forums, as well as the additional cost. I do not have any...

You are right about that.

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...

Do you mean benzos made your tinnitus worse?

...might look like, as there has not been any real improvement so far. I am also worried about the lack of promising treatments. Options like Lenire or medications feel like risky gambles, and I am holding on to a small bit of hope for the Susan Shore device. However, I do not know when it...

@just1morething, my doctor told me that he sees many people with bone-on-bone conditions, and even eroded condyles, who do not experience pain or tinnitus. He believes the link between tinnitus and TMJ is more related to the muscles and nerves around the TMJ rather than the actual condition of...
