Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

I don't think flying is really dangerous for most people who have tinnitus/hyperacusis, because most of them are very sensitive to high frequencies, and the frequencies of the plane engines are low. Personally, I am more disturbed when the crew makes an announcement, which is sometimes very high in volume.

Anyway, I strongly advice to carry earplugs when you travel... (I always carry them).

 

@gorzakus, fair point but wouldn’t an electrical pulse find the path of least resistance? I can’t imagine what will happen to the electrical signal with braces in my mouth!

 

@annV does your source have information on U.S./North America release? Thanks.

 

I think it will take longer as expected until it's available in Germany. University of Regensburg, where they run the study, isn't aware of any launch date in Germany yet.

 

Hopefully if this device comes soon in France (or I'll go desperately to Ireland by swimming), I will definitely be ready to try it and keep you informed of the evolution of my tinnitus (and hyperacusis maybe? ) ... I wish everyone a lot of hope with this treatment, and future ones.

BTW, I don't know if there are any French people in this thread, but if there are, you can send me a PM

 

Okay, people keep talking about how Lenire wouldn't work for people with hearing loss... What's the range it wouldn't work on? Anyone know the dB? I read above if you have 80 dB and higher it wouldn't work?

Anyone know FOR SURE???

 

@Autumnly will let us know when she gets a reply from them and she will post it on here.

 

@Striveon
Please let me know if you get a solid answer to that as I have hearing loss.

 

Logically this would only pose a problem when the tongue tip is in direct contact with the metal as in when you have a tongue piercing.

I could be wrong but if braces, retainers, bridges, fillings or implants would have been a problem I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned this as so many people have one of these.

 

Does anyone know if the final results of the 500 person study group is available?

 

I am happy Neuromod was able to help you!

But... you had two do overs with tinnitus and you threw them away. I hope you learned your lesson and will be more careful.

 

Did any one get contacted by Neuromod for any appointment soon?

 

How long does it take for a peer review? If the results weren’t promising would they have had £24m investment?

 

If MuteButton/Lenire can silence tinnitus how does this fit in with the theory that tinnitus is caused by hearing loss and the research that’s going on into regeneration of hearing to treat tinnitus?

Can someone who knows way more about it than me give me a beginner's explanation if possible please?!

 

Tinnitus is generated in brain, the theory is that if the hair cells in the ear get damaged the brain loses some external input. What bimodal stimulation does is physically change the neuroplasticity of the brain in the region that's causing the tinnitus. So this either eliminates or significantly reduces the sound.

 

I don't think research to regenerate hearing is to treat tinnitus, it's designed to treat hearing loss. I think the hope is that with hearing loss being addressed, tinnitus recovery will naturally follow.

 

We will always be able to stack both regenerative therapy and bimodal stimulation too!

 

Great to read that it helped you twice already.

Do you have hearing loss and did you attend the loud pub with hearing protection?

 

Something isn't true about this story?

 

Why wouldn't it be true?

 

Thank you for the replies to my question.

 

'Too good to be true' syndrome maybe?

 

I think the reason they ask about tongue piercings is not just because of the metal but because you have to clip the device to your tongue and a piercing would be in the way. If other metal in the mouth was an issue I'm sure they would have mentioned that in the questionnaire as @gorzakus already mentioned.

 

@Ken219

Yeah, something seemed a little odd about @Clearance's story to me as well. Especially how easily they kept letting her back into treatment, and how she seemingly wasn't protecting her ears anymore because she "just forgot". I don't think that ANYONE on this board or who has tinnitus bad enough like she mentioned could ever truly forget about it or how much one has to protect their ears at all times.

If one chooses to be ignorant about using their ear protection at any time (I am guilty of this often enough) that's on them, but just forgetting? It just seems fishy to me...

Clearance has only been a member on these boards since Friday and apparently has only had tinnitus since March of this year. Not sure that her story checks out... Seems like someone is just trying to get people's hopes up...

 

Also, I've been flying for work a lot in the last six months and even with my tinnitus and hyperacusis I didn't really feel the need to wear my earplugs (as they unfortunately bother my ears if in for too long) but the noise on planes definitely is super-annoying and unbearable. My ears have been a little worse lately though and I have worn them on my most recent flights about a week ago.

 

I always book a seat at the front of the plane. I find the noise is a lot lower there.

 

@Phi I would as well but either due to not being able to afford First Class or not choosing my own seat (work books the flight for me) I don't really have a choice about seating.

 

You say that, but outside Tinnitus Talk people who have only been to audiologists don’t protect their hearing as we do. I know three people. People also think it comes from various reasons and not noise exposure.

So the story is plausible...

 

Hi,

My story is the truth. Don’t believe it if you want, why would I be so cruel as to bother coming on here and making that story up? What do I have to gain from it?

And talking about being ignorant after the episodes, well we as humans tend to block out the bad times we have had.

And as my tinnitus had gone away I felt I could go out and not avoid life, as that’s no way to live, and we all make mistakes too!

 

My mom had tinnitus for two years and it went away, and she never protects her ears and still goes to really loud shows. Not everyone protects their ears after it goes away.
