Funny how Lenire is somehow "not effective" yet LEVO has fewer papers published on its efficacy and much less data but gets almost 2 letter grades higher.
Because they had *some* independent studies. That's better than Lenire at this point in time.
The ratings are used for all treatments whether it are devices, pills, psychological treatments, ...
We should see the results of the Lenire User Experience Group surveys in about 4 months. I think the forum will find the results quite interesting and the results should help members make a decision on purchase or otherwise. It will also help people to determine if they have the characteristics which will improve the likelihood of success.
For the Germans:
Thanks for sharing -- especially the part about it helping the reactivity, because so far there's been NOTHING that helps that. I hope they make it to the US soon. I'm considering going to Germany...Week 6 update.
Writing this actually right from Neuromod's waiting room, where I just had my first follow-up appointment.
The tinnitus has gotten quieter. It varies day to day but I get an anomalously high number of quiet days, and I often don't hear it in environments where I heard it before.
Strikingly, it has also gotten a lot less reactive. We had our office Christmas party a few days ago. I monitored the noise level constantly; it was around 75-80 decibels, so fairly noisy, but not dangerous, so I didn't use ear protection. I drank a lot, and shouted myself hoarse during karaoke. Previously, this would have earned me a huge temporary spike. This time, not a thing. It stayed at baseline, and the improved quieter baseline at that. Is this how normal people's ears behave during a party?
Finally, the numbers. Minimum masking level both at the first appointment and at the second (device fitting) appointment was 10 dB. Now it is 6 dB.
Lenire works. I have had mostly unchanged tinnitus for all my 31 years so this'll be my quietest Christmas ever.Wishing all of you a "Silent Night" for this holiday season!

I just tried that again. I was at a shisha place with a comfortable but noisy soundscape for two hours and again, no reactivity. It's doing wonders for my mental health.
I asked Ciara (she's doing the device fittings) on Tuesday and she said that 1. they switched to 5 days a week in the Ireland clinic 2. opened up the German clinic 3. are working through the waitlist but 4. the waitlist is insane. That's the best info available I'm afraid.
Hi Acute,
Thanks.
Hi @ruud1boy. Thank you very much for your comments.
Sorry for my poor understanding of English. Do you mean that if I go to the clinic for the assessment, they may reject me from getting Lenire?
Yes. They're working on improving it for other methods like hearing aid and cochlear implant users but that is still only in R&D for them.
You don't have to tell them you're on medication. Why would you want to tell them? Just shut your mouth.
