Where did you read that Wayne Kent Taylor tried Lenire? Wikipedia reports that he tried an “experimental treatment,” but the footnoted link is an article behind a paywall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Kent_Taylor

Do you guys think an improved version of Lenire might be available in the near future? A version that would not only help users adapt to tinnitus but also reduce its intensity, similar to Dr. Shore’s device? Maybe I’m dreaming a bit, but since this device has been on the market for about five...

...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...

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.

@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?

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...

...used Notched Sound Therapy and Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation (ACRN), do you think they really helped reduce the tinnitus sound, or was it just a placebo effect? I’m also thinking about trying Lenire. Does it actually help, or is it just a scam based on what I’ve read on this forum?

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.

...described yesterday as a fairly simple device. It could save the U.S. military billions in partial and full tinnitus disability payments. Yet Lenire, which many say barely works if at all, is already FDA-approved and available, while the Shore device, which apparently does work, has not even...

...seven years post-worsening with sound sensitivity to boot. I joined Tinnitus Talk six years ago with the specific objective of following the Lenire and UMich releases. It's been a long haul, but I've now reached the end of the road for both. Tinnitus Quest appears to be moving along quite...

Well, someone already did. It was Lenire, and even with much more sketchy science and trial design. I really don't know what to say. I'm 31 now, from Europe. I hoped I would have a few years of relative youth left when something emerges, just to "be there" if things get too bad. With this news...

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.

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?

@AfroSnowman, and in the same theme, those of us who have been here a while remember how the great excitement about Lenire and then FX-322 melted into crushing disappointment. The message boards leading up to those collapses were filled with a constant buzz of manically optimistic comments and...

...so I know what to avoid. Hope Even so, it gives me hope to know that research is moving forward in some promising directions (and not just Lenire, which seems hit or miss). As a lifelong sufferer, I would love to participate in a trial one day. Above all, I hope to experience what true...

Are you sure about that?

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...

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

@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...

...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...

...and I’ve learned from people like you. We are all different in our needs. At first, I saw only the negative in being online. I pushed for Lenire, but insurance doesn’t cover it. To test if Lenire could help, they wanted yet another hearing test, which they said would be more extensive. For...

...three years my hearing has not changed, yet I still have intrusive, loud tinnitus. That’s because it is not in the ears or ear canals. Is Lenire approved? No. That is why you have to pay five to seven thousand dollars without any guarantee it will help. Tinnitus should be added to the list...

...is this: you do not truly know tinnitus unless you have it. You might know everything about it from the outside, but living with it is another reality. There is no cure—I read that over and over in my first two weeks of hell. It is best to accept that, rather than cling to false hopes like...

...that the sooner you can convince yourself that this condition sucks, but isn’t worth obsessing over, the better off you’ll be. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still praying that Dr. Susan Shore’s device works and isn’t just another Lenire. I’d buy it in a second if it could lower this noise by even...

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

I think you need to look at the practical side. Tinnitus Quest had just recently had William Shatner endorse it. Companies like Auricle, like it or not, do not target the moderate/severe sufferers. They're simply too small of a market. They get a marketing bump and probably by now have at least...

Hmmm… if they need another trial, I would think they would already know that. For me, if they believe announcing a Q&A in August and then waiting until October to tell us they need another trial is “good engagement,” then they lack understanding. Still…

...of outcomes is, on the low end, a statement about where they are in the process, and possibly even the announcement of a follow-up study like Lenire had to do. On the optimistic side, it could be a “light at the end of the tunnel” update, with hopes for a 2026 release. If nothing else...

Exactly.

Well, I’m in no position to assess all that information thoroughly, but I still think it sounds better than the sketchy Lenire trial that had no placebo group. I like to think it is better than nothing, even if it has flaws, because if there is something, maybe someone will build upon it...

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.

...Really, the only way I can stay remotely interested in Auricle is to hear that they now understand where things went wrong, that they've deduced how to address that, and that they intend to re-run the trial. I'm afraid anything less, and we're in grave danger of sliding into Lenire territory.

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...

...and good luck. I hope that will not be the case at the next one. I have an appointment there next week. I also have a teleconference with Lenire scheduled, but it seems like a scam. I am not even sure I have a specific question, I just wanted to write out what I am going through. I really...

I believe that any device that is truly effective will be strongly and tirelessly promoted by an army of tinnitus sufferers. That kind of organic word-of-mouth marketing, coming from the community that understands the condition best, is the most powerful form of promotion. I can’t wait to get...

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...

How are you doing now? I am three months in and struggling. The noise I hear is an irregular, low hum…

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...

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...

...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...

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

...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...

...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.

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...
