Elliot Gerberg – Tinnitus Relief After 50 Years
Lenire Patient Success: Elliot Gerberg Living with Tinnitus for 50 Years
Elliot Gerberg has been living with tinnitus for 50 years. After 25-years, he developed chronic tinnitus. Since then, the noise has been with him constantly.
Elliot first noticed his tinnitus when he was in college. Like many tinnitus sufferers, Elliot’s condition started as a result of loud noise exposure. He played in rock bands, with floor to ceiling amplifiers blasting loud audio.
“I used to come home after performances and my ears would be ringing. Then, I would go to sleep with my ears ringing. I didn’t know anything about tinnitus at the time.”
In the beginning, Elliot’s ringing in the ears would be transient tinnitus. It would typically disappear after a week.
Chronic Tinnitus with No Solution
Later in Elliot’s life, he spent a lot of time travelling for work. He was on jet planes every week for five years. That’s when the tinnitus became chronic.
The most disruptive element of chronic tinnitus for Elliot is that it was always there. It was loud. Sometimes he could not hear people talking to him because of the constant noise in his head.
“Tinnitus was my friend and foe. It was with me constantly”
Elliot began his decades-long search for a solution. He would visit ear, nose and throat doctors at prestigious hospitals. They would examine him, shrug their shoulders, and tell him there was nothing that could be done.
That was, until, he discovered the Lenire tinnitus treatment device.
Lenire Tinnitus Treatment Device
Elliot was reading Scientific American and discovered Lenire by Neuromod Devices. Once Lenire was FDA Approved, he booked an appointment as soon as he could.
After an initial tinnitus assessment with Tobias & Battite Hearing Wellness, Elliot began treatment. He used the device for 1-hour per day for a duration recommended by Dr. Brian Fligor.
“It’s a very simple treatment. It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t require any special place to do it.”
Lenire is an at-home treatment that is available through certified Lenire Providers. Guidance from a Lenire Provider ensures the best possible results with Lenire.
Lenire treats tinnitus by stimulating two parts of the nervous system at once. A combination of mild pulses to the tongue and audio peaceful audio through wireless headphones. This bimodal approach has been proven in clinical trials, and with Elliot, to soothe tinnitus.
After three weeks of using Lenire, Elliot began to notice it working. His tinnitus was getting a little bit quieter with each session.
“All of sudden you wake up and you realise. Hey, wait a minute! I don’t hear my tinnitus anymore!”
Lenire Patient Success: A Powerhouse Tinnitus Treatment
Since using Lenire, Elliot’s life has “changed in many ways.” Now, he can enjoy music. He can reconnect with friends and colleagues (without the noisy distractions).
“Lenire has been a powerhouse treatment for me, I am lucky that it came about. I believe more people in the world should try it if they have tinnitus.”
