...that if I am stressed, the pitch definitely is very high. I can bear it if I keep busy and don’t think about it. My last effort is to try Lenire in the United States. It’s a very expensive proposition. I just want to know if anyone who has tinnitus as a result of Ramsay Hunt syndrome and...

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.

What Is Lenire? Lenire is a newly launched treatment for tinnitus, which is claimed to reduce ringing in the ears. Lenire was brought to market by Irish medical device company Neuromod, after having conducted several clinical trials to assess its safety and efficacy. Post Your Experiences...

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.

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...

A clinic in my country that uses Lenire claims a 97% success rate. Obviously, that's not accurate, but I'm still unsure whether it does work or not.

The studies conducted by Lenire lack scientific rigor. If I remember correctly, they did not include a control group, among other factors, which significantly undermines its value as a treatment. In contrast, Susan Shore has 20 years of research with a higher-quality study methodology. So, even...

You are right about that.

Lenire and Dr. Shore's devices are not the same. Dr. Shore’s device relies on the precise timing of electrical impulses, developed through years of research, to attenuate specific aspects of the dorsal cochlear nucleus.

I recommend reading the Lenire thread in Treatments. Quite a few people have reported a worsening of symptoms, sometimes long-term. A few have seen improvement, but I’m personally staying away from Lenire.

After what seemed like a long wait for the tinnitus community, Neuromod Devices in June 2019 launched its tinnitus treatment device called Lenire™. The device has a long history, so for you relatively new to the discussion, let us give you a recap of what has transpired so far. MuteButton...

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...

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

As far as I understand, the working mechanisms of Lenire for tinnitus and Dr. Shore’s device are almost the same. So why is Lenire considered ineffective? From what I know, clinical trials showed it had even higher effectiveness than Dr. Shore’s device (around 80%). However, we still don’t have...

...yet. It covers the topic of our currently most active thread, which has been viewed over half a million times. We mean of course Neuromod’s Lenire treatment. Check out the ongoing discussion about it here. It’s an extra-long episode, because so many questions were raised on our forum about...

@linearb said earlier he was thinking he would go ahead and try Lenire. He was a participant in the Susan Shore clinical trial, so it says a lot to me if he thinks it might be worth a shot to try Lenire.

In the Dr. Shore device, the tone played matches the frequency of the tinnitus. This is not the case with the Lenire device. The Lenire team analyzed trial participants who, by chance, had tinnitus at the same frequency as the tone played by the device but found no improved response in these...

Lenire is not a scam. It just doesn’t work for anyone. :troll:

4 years and counting... silence is but a distant memory. Found a Lenire resource. Tempted.

Lenire’s advertising was somewhat misleading. Upon closer reading, it became clear that Lenire only claimed a certain percentage of users were less bothered by their tinnitus—not that the decibel level was reduced or that the tones shifted to a more bearable pitch. Similar relief might be found...

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.

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...

Mine is.

...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?

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...

Lenire is not a scam. It just doesn’t work for everyone.

Count mine as one. What a waste.

Hey, could you tell me how you reached out to them? I know a different company took over to handle Lenire for Neuromod, but I've lost all contact information. Neuromod hasn't replied to my email, so I'm a little unsure how to reach them these days.

Day 15 of Lenire treatments. 8 kHz T levels mostly unchanged 2L and 5R. Was told this can take 12 weeks to hear improvement.

Tinnitus worse after using Lenire? Same here! I spent $4,500 on the device and audiology services, plus an additional $500 on travel. After completing the full 84-hour protocol, the volume and intensity of my tinnitus actually worsened. When I reached out to the Lenire provider to request an...

In Dr. Shore's clinical trial(s), the patient population was kind of small compared to Lenire. Dr. Hubert Lim also said that you really can’t have a true placebo with a device like Lenire because people can tell if they are not getting the electric stimulation. This might be the same with Auricle.

In Kelly Assouly’s thesis, tinnitus pitch matching was performed, so this approach likely only works for tonal tinnitus—similar to bimodal neurostimulation, as promoted by Brai3n for Lenire in Ghent.

...with Ross O'Neill where he said tinnitus patients with hyperacusis had better outcomes than non-hyperacusis patients with tinnitus when using Lenire. He wasn't super clear what those better outcomes were - an improvement in hyperacusis, tinnitus, or both. Needless to say, I was left hanging...

It's the other way around. Lenire was available in parts of Europe around 2019-2020, so years before America. Yes, frequently checking here is fruitless.

Well, Lenire has got such a bad rep here that people tend to forget it actually helps some people.

Does anyone experience serious brain fog after Lenire?

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Lenire. Lenire caused me serious side effects as well. What did they tell you about whether the device is working properly or not? I imagine they wouldn’t admit if it’s malfunctioning, but they might offer you an alternative device. I’m interested...

I think Dr. Shore's placebo was related to the timing.

Completed 15 rounds of HBOT but no improvement of Level 5T in right ear. LLLT Did not help. Now on 4th day of Lenire unit.

No, I've kind of dropped that. Maybe it had a beneficial effect, especially at a micro-microdosing level, but in the end, my experience with Lenire is what I described above. If I am having a really bad stretch, it is something I can pull out and probably will lower my distress modestly over a...

Does this change your opinion about Lenire at all?

@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...

This is a BIG problem. Tinnitus UK and the American Tinnitus Association should NOT take money from Lenire and have them sponsor their events and website. They do mention in small print that they don't endorse Lenire but that doesn't help: it still gives credibility to Lenire in most people's...

...as it didn’t provide any noticeable benefit for my tinnitus. For me, it was ultimately a disappointment. However, some people insist that Lenire has been a significant success for them. Purchasing this device is certainly a risk, and the manufacturers make it clear there are no guarantees...

...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...

So if Susan Shore is still years away, how was Lenire able to get approved so quickly?

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.

...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...

There was an interesting article in the Washington Post today about Lenire and the Shore device. It basically said Lenire works for some and the Shore device is similar to Lenire and is waiting for FDA approval.

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

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.)

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...

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. 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...

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.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing this article with us.

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

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?
