8 Advantages to Treating Tinnitus with Lenire™
Lenire™ is a treatment for tinnitus that utilizes a combination of sound therapy and electrical stimulation (through the tongue) to alleviate tinnitus symptoms. This treatment was developed by the company Neuromod Devices™ and is only available for full time prescription and support in Texas at Boerne Hearing & Tinnitus. Lenire™ is designed to help retrain the brain in how it processes sound– particularly the phantom sounds of tinnitus. Here are some of the key advantages of Lenire treatment for tinnitus.
1. Non-invasive Approach
Lenire™ is a non-invasive treatment that doesn't require surgery or any form of physical intrusion. It relies on stimulating the auditory system through sound therapy and mild electrical impulses delivered via the tongue.
2. Addresses Tinnitus Directly
Unlike many treatments that manage symptoms indirectly such as using sound generators or maskers, Lenire aims to reduce the perception of tinnitus itself by influencing the brain's auditory pathways. This retraining is believed to help mitigate the root cause of the condition in the brain’s misinterpretation of signals.
3. Dual Stimulation (Multisensory)
Lenire™ employs bimodal stimulation, combining auditory stimuli (sounds) with electrical stimulation of the tongue. Research has shown that this multisensory approach may help increase the effectiveness of the treatment by altering neural activity involved in tinnitus processing.
4. Customizable and Personalized
The device’s therapy is customized for each user based on their unique tinnitus profile. This personalized aspect ensures that the therapy is tailored to the specific needs and condition of the patient.
5. Minimal Side Effects
Clinical trials have reported that Lenire™ has minimal side effects, with most users only experiencing mild discomfort from the electrical stimulation on the tongue. This makes it a safe option for many people who may not be suitable candidates for more invasive treatments.
6. Long-lasting Results
Some patients report long-term improvements in their tinnitus symptoms even after they stop using the device, suggesting that the treatment could lead to lasting changes in how the brain processes tinnitus signals.
7. Clinically Tested
Lenire has undergone several clinical trials, which have shown a significant percentage of users experiencing a reduction in their tinnitus severity. While it may not work for everyone, it has shown promise in offering relief to many tinnitus sufferers.
8. Convenient and At-home Use
Lenire™ can be used at home, which makes it convenient for people who might not have easy access to specialized clinics. Users can incorporate it into their daily routine without the need for frequent medical visits.
