Mine is.

Count mine as one. What a waste.

I am considering getting Lyric hearing aids. I have been using Lenire for two months, twice daily, but I have not yet observed a reduction in the tinnitus level in my right ear. It spiked to level 5 back in June 2024 after I received a steroid injection in my left shoulder. Before that, I was...

...whenever I had an ear infection. But now, I’m at my wit’s end because about four different ENTs have said they cannot help me, and I’m looking for any way to return to my old life. My only option now is that I may be a candidate for the Lenire device, though I have heard mixed results about it.

Completely different. Tone matching is just an outcome. This directly stimulates the auditory nerve using only electrical stimulation. No sound is involved. Yes, I thought so, too.

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.

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

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’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...

...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...

It saddens me to see so many unprincipled doctors taking advantage of the desperation of tinnitus sufferers just to make money. Lenire doesn’t work, yet clinics everywhere are advertising it with claims of 80% or even 90% effectiveness. It seems no one is concerned about the lack of regulation...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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 purchased my Lenire device in December 2023 from Gatwick Audiology. Prince, the audiologist, was very nice and believed I was a good candidate for Lenire. My Tinnitus Handicap Score is 76, and my tinnitus is bilateral. I have only a very slight hearing loss in my left ear, which has been...

Hi, I had a CT scan, but I was already aware that it likely wouldn’t reveal much. It might show misaligned ossicles or something larger in the middle ear, but I doubt a malfunctioning Eustachian tube would be visible unless it’s completely blocked. What no one has been able to explain to me is...

...like that. I have a TMJ check-up in two weeks, but honestly, I feel like it'll be a waste of money. I also have my first consultation for the Lenire device in a week, but again, I feel like that might be a waste of money too, especially since I probably won't be able to afford the device anyway.

I just received my Lenire device on Friday, costing $5,500 USD out the door. I'm currently on my 6th treatment (2x per day) as I type this. Before this, I tried 15 sessions of HBOT, 25 hours of LLLT, and 30 days of steroids. My tinnitus levels are 2 in the left ear and 5 in the right. Over the...

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.

Thanks for the insights, Mark! Update: The feeling of fullness in my ears is still present, although it changes sometimes. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m distracted or if it’s actually getting better. It’s definitely worse in the evenings when the fullness becomes extreme, so I use...

...suicidal person for the last 15 years. And even if one does come out, no one can guarantee it will be any different from the scam that was Lenire. Unfortunately, I have suicidal-level tinnitus. Unless it becomes bearable on its own, unless the severity decreases, or unless a treatment comes...

...of multiple credible avenues for tinnitus treatment that could offer partial or near-full suppression. Some people have found success with Lenire, but I would recommend waiting a few years before trying it, as I believe better options are on the horizon. I know how challenging each day can be...

Thank you for your response—I truly appreciate it! I’m very sorry to hear about your bad experience. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to participate in an experiment and then not be taken seriously afterward. I hope you receive some feedback soon, and I also wish you some quieter...

...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...

Clear! Thanks.

...been made! But according to what I know, none of the things you mention have proven to be a silver bullet yet. I don't think very highly of Lenire at all, which the company itself has admitted is merely a habituation aid. I am hopeful, but I have a good dose of healthy skepticism about Dr...

...to a breakthrough. Dr. De Ridder has discovered the "switch" that toggles tinnitus on and off. The TU Delft device is in development, and the Lenire device was an experimental step forward. It seems like the time has come to create devices based on existing knowledge, rather than...

It's important to distinguish between two aspects when it comes to cost: The cost of 'discovering' a new experimental approach that may silence tinnitus; The cost of bringing such a discovery to the market. Tinnitus Quest is focusing on #1, where a few million or even less can go a long way...

...main topics discussed were CBT and tinnitus disorder, both of which were frequently mentioned. A few questions were asked about XEN1011 and Lenire & Dr. Shore devices. Dr. Langguth mentioned that Lenire is a good option for some patients when compared to other alternatives. Did he hint at...

...Brai3n office in Belgium, where Dr. De Ridder works, among others. One of the board members mentioned that they would need €10 million to create a device like Lenire, but of course, a better one. A few hundred thousand wouldn’t be enough—we really need to emphasize millions. Let’s make it happen!

...nervous system, and you can do this through breathing. We discussed it further, and I had a bit of an epiphany. Here's a summary: When I use Lenire, my mouth is closed, and I breathe only through my nose because of the mouthpiece. When I shower, my breathing is heavier because the air in the...

...see what the doctor was viewing during the examination—something I had never experienced before. It was fascinating to watch. They mentioned Lenire, which is currently on the market, but noted that their clinic does not promote it and typically does not recommend treatments that require...

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.

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.

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.

...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...

I began using Lenire a couple of months ago. My tinnitus was already bad when I started, but it got worse as I began using the device daily. I was told this wasn’t unusual. After three weeks, I couldn’t handle the pain and stopped the sessions. I quit using it for several weeks, but nothing...

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...

Great news about your progress. Best wishes for your Dr. Lim's visit. Please let us know what you hear from him.

It's great to hear that the feeling of fullness is improving over time! I suggest asking your ENT to check your Eustachian tubes through your nose. They can quickly determine if a Eustachian tube is swollen. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) can cause a lot of issues in the ear, such as a...

...treating tinnitus using somatic stimulation, similar to the research Dr. Lim has conducted at the U of MN (which, I assume, is why the Lenire company hired him to lead that area). I’ll ask the ENT about the idea you proposed, @matt89, regarding the possibility that the eardrum may still be...

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

...tinnitus in October 2023 and have tried various treatments, but like most of you, I haven’t had any success. My question is about the Lenire device. Has anyone here actually tried it, and if so, has it provided any real help in reducing your tinnitus? This device is quite expensive, and...

Ok, I'm still struggling a bit to understand your issue. If I understand correctly, you're annoyed with the researchers who are trying to get cochlear stimulation technology to market, because it's been 40 years since the technology was discovered. But how is that the fault of the researchers in...

...data at multiple time points. Our goal should be to determine if a treatment truly works rather than merely making it appear effective. Lenire is a classic example of the latter approach, but there are many others. To encourage researchers, we might consider replacing the term "young...

Below is from the Brai3n clinic, one of the centers involved in the trial. So, 6% of the population will find this effective.

The Belgian newspapers do not mention that. They wrote that Lenire sometimes cures tinnitus. Today, this is all over the papers and radio.

The results show it is effective in reducing tinnitus distress in some patients. No evidence of loudness, so in that respect NO.

You’re the funniest person I’ve seen on Tinnitus Talk. I’m glad you’re here with us, but at the same time, I wish you didn’t have to be here and go through this pain. Still, I want to thank you for the humor in your posts. Even when I’m feeling my worst, I stumble upon something you’ve written...

Does this change your opinion about Lenire at all?

...the study and even more surprised that they were resolved during the trial. From my experience, I have come across just as many stories about Lenire causing a worsening as success stories. One positive takeaway from this is the relatively small sample size—only 112 participants. This should...

I’d be interested in an analysis of whether this data changes the overall outlook on Lenire as a tool. I also (speculating here) wonder if Dr. Lim’s role with the company may be to continue to develop Lenire to more closely mirror the signal timing that the Shore device uses (i.e., are they /...

...patterns and see what happens (i.e., throwing spaghetti at the wall). Lim basically admitted that in his recent interview with a minor celebrity audiologist "Doctor" Cliff. The apologia was to suggest that Lenire will be improved over time as different timing patterns are observed in the user...

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

Dr. Shore mentioned communicating with the FDA throughout the clinical trial process, so one would hope she followed the FDA's guidelines. In some articles, she has been quoted as saying her focus is now on commercialization, so ideally, another clinical trial won’t be necessary. However, based...

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.
