There are many articles and leaflets that share all the reasons you SHOULD choose to treat a hearing loss. However, nobody openly shares all the reasons that you should choose NOT to treat your hearing loss. With a recent study suggesting that “only 14% of the...

When a person comes to us with a hearing challenge, they’re taking a leap of faith and putting their trust in us that we can identify their individual issue and know what needs to be done to help them. That trust always has and always will be at the forefront of what...
Much different than hearing aids, personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) are used by patients to help with nothing more than mild hearing loss. They are sold without a prescription and cannot be customized to the patient’s specific needs or hearing...
Hearing loss is one of the most common ailments in the US today. Sadly, it’s just not openly discussed, making it seem more isolating than it really is. When I take a patient’s case history, I rarely encounter a family that doesn’t have at least one person, usually...
After helping so many people from across Alaska with their hearing concerns, I know the incredible benefits that treatments can offer. They don’t just let my patients hear sounds they’ve missed for years, but also, let them re-connect with those in their community. In...
‘I don’t think anyone understands how it affects your life because you’re living with it yourself but anybody outside that doesn’t suffer from it, I don't think they understand what you’re actually going through, that you have a constant ringing in your head all the time, and some days it can be really bad, it’s very hard to relax, very hard to enjoy life sometimes and it can make you very upset.’ ‘Just trying to get on with everyday life was very difficult’ ‘You couldn’t deal with silence because there was no silence, it was always there’ ‘Before the trial started, I’d say, really on a scale of 1 to 10 it was past 10, and in a bad way, and then when I done the trial after the 6 weeks I found that the tolerance for me was definitely down to around a 3’ ‘It was that good, it made that much of an impact on my life and I’m just very grateful that I got a chance to do the trial’

‘After about a month, I noticed that it started working, and funny enough I noticed it when I didn’t use it. I had to go to the dentist and got some treatment on my teeth – I wasn’t able to use the device so I had to pause it for about 5 days and then within 5 days I just noticed that my tinnitus increase and when I started using it again I started paying attention to how it was dropping to the lower levels. At the worst my tinnitus was about a 7 or 8 out of ten, and after using Lenire for around a year, it has dropped to like 1 or 2. It’s very handy for me to use Lenire during my work as I can just plug away and just do the treatment while I’m working. Back when the tinnitus was really bad, I started questioning my music industry job, and I stopped going to the gigs, music events and I started thinking about that I no longer will be able to participate in any events, but now I’m able to book tickets again. If anyone in the music industry and have suffering from tinnitus I would definitely recommend the Lenire treatment as it is something that helped me a lot

‘My hope with the device was to try and reduce the level of tinnitus back to a level where I was comfortable, like prior to when I had the ear infection and from using the device that’s where I am now, I’m back to a situation where my tinnitus is much less prominent, much less distracting. The tinnitus did affect my interest in music because you say to yourself what’s the point if I’m not hearing properly. I can now go back to doing things that I wasn’t able to do over the past few years – writing and recording music. Going on the results I have I would recommend it.’
