    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    By the time I ended up getting Lenire last year I was pretty much at peace with my tinnitus. I only did about 5-6 weeks with it before deciding it wasn’t doing much.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    I’ve always refrained from replying to any of your posts but this has just made me feel really sorry for you. Everything from your recommendations that users they should get their teeth extracted rather than undertaking essential dental work, to your belief that the cause of your tinnitus was...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I was on a medication called Accutane for acne when I was a teen. It made everything temporarily significantly worse before making everything permanently better (as is a common effect of the treatment).

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I'm not sure what you were hoping for from Lenire, but being able to consciously process sound with your tongue will not be an outcome from this treatment.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    Everything is now being cancelled here in the UK. No more sports / events / public gatherings. Many offices closed down from this week or next. One of the most surreal situations I have ever experienced.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I don't understand your point. The aim of bimodal neuromodulation is not to 'learn to hear with your tongue' but to reduce the volume of one's tinnitus.

    Ireland is exempt I believe. It’s only the 26 countries in the Schengen border-free travel area at this stage.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    Most countries have around 2-3 hospital beds per 1000 people. There are even less 'free' hospital beds. The world is categorically not equipped to deal with anything on this scale.

    Had it ever previously subsided for 5 days?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    My tinnitus reacts to white noise so any MML reading for me is a load of tosh. Does anyone know if this reading is used for the white noise level on the device?
  15. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Quite possibly. I can't even begin to imagine what temporary worsening would be for those with a THI score of 90. Poor souls.

    Speak for yourself. Those who have been tracking the reviews online see it very differently.

    Dr. O’Neill mentions in the latest podcast that Neuromod will now be forming a partnership with the University of Minnesota (or something to that effect).

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    You do realise that this was never going to be a 100% effective cure right? The people it doesn't help were always going to rack up on here.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I believe that they tried delays and found that synchronised timings produced longer lasting results.

    Do MRIs Identify TTTS?

    Not sure there’s any conclusive test no. I know a couple of people have reported that their TTTS has been significantly reduced with Lenire FYI.

    Do MRIs Identify TTTS?

    I do not believe TTTS can be diagnosed via MRI.

    Thumping Sound — Related to Tensor Tympani?

    I have had this in the past, and can agree with those above that it tends to go away after a few days max.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    From just looking at the first 3/4 names on my list of improvers, he’s also missing out ClareB and Clearance. Many improvers (from TinnitusTalk / anecdotes / Facebook sources) we don’t even have info on their tinnitus duration. I would take this snapshot with a pinch of salt.

    Sure - if by debunked you mean rejected user reviews reporting improvements.

    First Timer! My Tinnitus Is Probably Linked to Low Blood Pressure

    Do you have pulsatile tinnitus? I.e. can you hear the sounds in time with your heartbeat?

    One of the main reasons why THI is usually the primary outcome in tinnitus trials.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Thanks! Much appreciated. My hearing starts to roll off quite badly after 8kHz in my left ear, likely noise-induced from headphones too loud. Although I also had a severe case of labyrinthitis (lasting >4 weeks) a few years ago which may have contributed. I have very high pitched tinnitus in...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I am still expecting more to get improvements from Lenire than those who don’t. Having said that, there is a very real chance I will get nothing out of this at all so I am going in with the mindset of not expecting anything (so that I won’t be disappointed with the results). We’ll see!

    Just over 4 weeks now till my first appointment. Feels a little surreal having waiting so long!

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I don’t think that it’s only severe sufferers that seek treatment though. Far from it actually.
  35. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Total rubbish sorry. Prevalence of tinnitus in general population is reported to be at around 5-10%. If say only 2% of the world sought treatment, that’s 140,000,000 customers. That’s not even taking into account future or repeat sufferers. Whoever cures this is going to be very very rich.
  36. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    We do actually know this. It’s definitely in the leaked slides and possibly even in some of their papers. From memory I believe that they found synchronised timings to be more effective, with delays being slightly more effective initially though ultimately not leading to long term effects.
  37. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Yes the sound level is adjustable. I suspect that the “disimprovement” is to do with the treatment as a whole rather than sound levels.
  38. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    No it is not a TENS device. I suggest you do some research on bimodal neuromodulation.

    Maybe you’re a placebo. Do you even really exist?

    I think anything with an "a" next to it refers to anecdotes!

    Think you could probably also include @Clearance? Tinnitus resolved multiple times from Lenire / MuteButton.
  43. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Not sure about a “40% placebo effect” though. What does that even mean? Has anyone ever seen a 40% reduction in THI from a placebo arm in a tinnitus trial before? Serious question if anyone knows.
  44. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I thought they were releasing new testimonials which were to be filmed around now? In fairness I’m not sure what Neuromod releasing real world data adds to either argument? Those who trust the clinical trial data will trust the ‘real world’ data and vice versa.
  45. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Not true according to Susan Shore. “Behavioral and functional imaging studies of human tinnitus sufferers have corroborated several of the changes reported above from animal studies, including increased gain or hyperactivity in central pathways”...

    Agreed with @Sironketchup above. Also try jutting your jaw out as far as it will go or placing the palm of your hand on your forehead and pushing against it. These seem to work for me. No.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Interestingly I was reading through some of Clare B’s posts and she mentioned that there was an assessment by a physiotherapist during the TENT-A2 trials to determine whether patients could modulate their tinnitus via movements of the neck / jaw etc. This means that Neuromod will already know...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Did you have fluctuations before Lenire? I'm confused how you can go from almost tinnitus gone to complete flop in the space of a week??
  52. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Dr. O’Neill didn’t seem able / willing to confirm any other responder sub groups in the latest podcast so I suspect it will be unlikely their audiologists will say anything different!
  53. Ruse

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Correct, if you can modulate your tinnitus with movements of the face / jaw / neck etc then you have somatic tinnitus. Possibly. The Susan Shore device is supposedly for patients with somatic tinnitus. It is only speculation at this moment in time that patients with somatic tinnitus would...

    Odd question but for those with somatic tinnitus - can you modulate all of the tones you hear or only some of them?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Are you referring to this? Circa 3.20 onwards? What's interesting to me in this video is that Shore mentions each patient will receive both the sham treatment and the real treatment. I wonder whether patients can actually feel the electrical stimulation in her device, otherwise it would be...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I believe another user on this thread mentioned that Shore's device is customised to target certain nerves, determined by where the patient can modulate his / her tinnitus (I haven't verified this). Using this logic perhaps you could hypothesise that if patients can modulate tinnitus through...

    You do not have to return the device to Neuromod once purchased, and no, they will not let you book appointments with second hand devices.
