Get Tinnitus Relief With Lenire® at Hearing Associates

Bothersome Buzzing, Clicking, or Ringing in Your Ears? Stop Living in Misery!

One in 10 U.S. adults have tinnitus, but only a fraction take action for tinnitus relief. At Hearing Associates, we know the toll unwanted ringing in the ears can take on your relationships, physical/mental health, everyday activities, and sleep. It’s why we offer FDA-approved Lenire® — effective tinnitus treatment backed by science.

Why Hearing Associates?

Safe, painless, and conducted in the comfort of your own home after a professional fitting/training, Lenire retrains your brain over time to focus away from the offending noises in your ears. The process, bimodal neuromodulation, uses sound therapy and electrical tongue stimulation to deliver relief.


  1.  Wireless Bluetooth® headphones pair with Lenire’s custom sounds to deliver audio to the part of the brain that processes sound.
  2.  Tonguetip® device sits comfortably in your mouth and sends mild pulses to the surface of your tongue to activate nerves.
  3. Lightweight, portable handheld controller allows you to control the sound volume and level of tongue stimulation.


At Hearing Associates, most of our patients using Lenire have experienced a clinically significant reduction in tinnitus symptoms. And over 86% of treatment-compliant respondents in Lenire maker Neuromod’s TENT-A1 clinical trial reported symptom-severity reduction after a 12-week treatment.

How Does Our Lenire Treatment Work?

How Can You Get Help?

Action starts with a comprehensive evaluation at Hearing Associates to learn whether you have tinnitus, the type, how it impacts your life, and whether Lenire can help. With tinnitus and hearing loss so closely linked, your assessment includes a hearing evaluation too.

Tinnitus has stolen your peace and quiet long enough. Don’t let it steal another day!
