Tinnitus Treatment / Lenire

Restoring Peace and Calm

Tinnitus is a symptom that causes a ringing, buzzing, or humming in the ears, which can be absolutely exhausting. At best, it is distracting and frustrating. Our clinic offers the Lenire Tinnitus Treatment System, an FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy that is advancing the way tinnitus is managed worldwide.

As one of the very few U.S. providers that offer Lenire, we lead the way in early adoption and the clinical expertise to utilize the treatment. Our audiologists are well-versed in individualized treatment that deals with not only sound but also related issues.

What is Lenire?

Lenire is the first FDA-approved bimodal neuromodulation device that has been specifically designed to treat tinnitus. The system uses a gentle blend of sound stimulation and mild tongue stimulation to retrain the brain's processing of tinnitus sounds. Over time, this helps reduce the overall intensity and emotional impact of tinnitus.

Patients use Lenire at home, guided by our audiologists through a customized program. Many users have noticeable improvement in their overall perception of tinnitus, as well as a better quality of life, within the first few months.

How Lenire Works

Dual Stimulation for the Brain

Lenire delivers sound through headphones while gently applying pulses to the tongue, which engages multiple brain regions involved in hearing and attention.

Retraining Neural Pathways

The coordinated signals help desensitize the brain to tinnitus, teaching it to “tune out” the noise naturally over time.

Personalized Programs

Every Lenire treatment plan is created for your tinnitus profile and hearing test results. This is to have a personalized experience with the utmost comfort.

A Personalized Path

Tinnitus is different for everyone. That is why we take an individualized approach that goes beyond technology alone. Our tinnitus management plans will include various parts, such as:

  • A comprehensive hearing evaluation to identify the underlying causes of hearing loss.

  • Tinnitus counseling to help you understand your condition while reducing stress.

  • Sound therapy that uses soothing tones, white noise, or devices to mask tinnitus.

  • Ongoing follow-up care to adjust your treatment for top results.

Combining counseling and sound therapy, as well as Lenire technology, is focused on helping patients manage their symptoms well. This all happens without invasive procedures or medication.

Understanding Tinnitus & Treatment

Tinnitus can start because of exposure to loud noise, aging, earwax buildup, or hearing loss. It may also be linked to stress, injury, or certain medications.

Leading the Way

We are elated to be one of the first clinics in the nation to offer Lenire treatment. Our dedication to innovation allows us to provide more advanced, research-based options that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Our audiologists receive specialized Lenire training while continuously monitoring emerging clinical data to make sure we are delivering the best care possible. We blend science, technology, and a bit of empathy to create a path of relief. We strive to be both cutting-edge and deeply personalized in your treatment plans.
