Learn About the Lenire Treatment for Tinnitus
Lenire is an evidence-based treatment device proven to soothe tinnitus.
Use it from the comfort of home to manage your tinnitus with the help of qualified healthcare
professionals.
How does it work?
The device plays sounds from headphones and provides gentle pulses to the tongue via a Tonguetip. The sounds and pulses work together to retrain your brain. You pay less attention to your tinnitus reducing its impact on your day-to-day life.

What is the device?
Headphones
Bluetooth headphones, which are provided, deliver customised sounds to activate the
auditory nerve to the brain.
Tonguetip
The Tonguetip, specifically designed to treat tinnitus, sits comfortably in the closed mouth.
Tiny electrodes on the Tonguetip deliver mild and safe energy pulses to the surface of the
tip of the tongue.
Controller
A lightweight handheld device that controls the timing and intensity of the treatment. You
can start, pause and resume the treatment session, adjust the volume of the sound, and
adjust the level of the tongue stimulation.
The settings are customised by your healthcare professional to suit your tinnitus after an
assessment to make sure you’re suitable
What is the research behind Lenire?
Lenire is the first device of its kind to receive a grant of approval from the FDA to treat tinnitus.
This follows a large-scale clinical trial designed to meet the FDA's requirements during which 83% of patients recommended Lenire for the treatment of tinnitus. The largescale trial's results were consistent with real-world evidence from 204 patients*.
Relief from Tinnitus: Orla's Story
"If ten was [how severe my tinnitus was] in 2015, tinnitus now is one, maybe two out of ten.
Sometimes I just have this feeling in my head, this is a Lenire moment, I use it and then get the relief or comfort from it. I no longer worry about this tinnitus distressing me when I’m with friends…. Now I’ve full control of it.
I definitely recommend it, it changed my life. I’m definitely more relaxed, it has to be because of Lenire."
Lenire Clinical Trial: Dorothy Borthwick Testimonial
"Well starting the trial I really didn’t hope for anything because after speaking to my GP and another person I knew that had it (...) you kind of thought well there’s no cure, so I kind of just went along with it, maybe hoping that it would work towards a cure.
I didn’t really think that I would benefit from it, but I’m delighted to say that I definitely have. The Device was very easy to use, very simple, because I’m not good with technology or anything modern so when I saw it first I was a bit wary but then when they described it and when I used it first it was very simple."
