An innovative approach to tinnitus management
tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is present. People with tinnitus may hear ringing, buzzing, humming, hissing, or other sounds in one or both ears. Tinnitus is a common condition and can affect individuals of all ages. Tinnitus symptoms vary from person to person. Some individuals notice a mild background ringing, while others experience sounds that can interfere with concentration, sleep, and daily activities.
Lenire®
Lenire® is a non-invasive medical device designed to help reduce the symptoms of tinnitus.
Lenire uses a treatment approach called bimodal neuromodulation, which combines sound stimulation delivered through headphones with gentle electrical stimulation delivered to the tongue through a small device called a Tonguetip®. The goal is to promote beneficial changes in the brain's auditory pathways and reduce the perception and impact of tinnitus over time.
How Does Lenire Work?
Researchers believe tinnitus involves changes in how the brain processes sound. Lenire delivers:
Customized sounds through headphones.
Gentle electrical pulses to the surface of the tongue.
These two forms of stimulation are synchronized to encourage the brain to reorganize neural activity associated with tinnitus. This process is known as bimodal neuromodulation. Treatment is typically prescribed and monitored by a trained hearing healthcare professional. Patients generally:
Undergo an initial evaluation and hearing assessment.
Receive a personalized treatment plan.
Use the Lenire device at home as instructed by their clinician.
Attend follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust settings if needed.
