Most people experience tinnitus when in a very quiet environment. This is the auditory system’s way of compensating when there isn’t input from the external environment. It is also perfectly normal to have fleeting tinnitus that shows up once in a while. Many people experience tinnitus from time to time and are not bothered by it. The body naturally habituates or ignores the tinnitus signal and allows it to fade into the background.
For those who experience more persistent or bothersome tinnitus, advanced treatment options like Lenire® are now available.

Are You Struggling With Tinnitus?
The constant ringing and buzzing sounds can really interfere with daily life. Thankfully, there is a new FDA-approved treatment available that has been shown to dramatically improve the symptoms of tinnitus and we specialize in helping our patients experience relief.
How Does Lenire Work?
Lenire uses a technology called non-invasive bimodal neuromodulation to help retrain your brain to ignore the ringing, whooshing, and buzzing caused by tinnitus. During treatment, you will place a small device on your tongue and wear the headphones. Unique sound patterns are played through the headphones and safe electrical pulses are delivered through your tongue to activate the auditory nerves to your brain. Together, these signals activate the auditory, attention, and emotion centers of your brain. Over time (12 weeks or so), your brain is retrained to ignore the symptoms of tinnitus and give you relief.
Is Lenire Tinnitus Treatment Right for You?
At Hearing Wellness Center, we will first perform a full evaluation of your hearing and tinnitus symptoms. If we determine you’re a good fit for the treatment, we will calibrate the device for your unique needs. You can use Lenire in the comfort of your home, and come see us for follow-up visits to check your progress.
Over 600 people with tinnitus have participated in clinical trials using Lenire, and the results were staggering! Most patients had a significant reduction in tinnitus symptoms with zero serious side effects.
