...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...

...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.

...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...

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...
