What is Lenire?
Lenire is a non-invasive medical device that uses bimodal neuromodulation to treat tinnitus symptoms.
Lenire delivers mild electrical pulses to the tongue combined with sound played through headphones to drive long-term changes or neuroplasticity in the brain to treat tinnitus. The device is fitted and used in accordance with a tailored treatment plan prescribed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional, such as an audiologist or ENT surgeon.
The Lenire Device
The Lenire 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.
Tonguetip
This is a proprietary intra-oral device, ergonomically designed to sit 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.
Headphones
Lenire must be used with the set of wireless, Bluetooth headphones, which are provided as part of the package. The headphones are paired to the controller and deliver customised sounds to activate the auditory nerve to the brain.
The Treatment
Lenire is prescribed for you by a qualified healthcare professional after an assessment of your tinnitus. The device’s sound and tongue stimulation are configured specifically for your tinnitus which enables you to self-administer your personalised treatment plan from the comfort of your own home.
