Lenire Tinnitus Treatment
Lenire is a clinically studied, non-invasive tinnitus treatment you use at home. It pairs gentle sound through headphones with light tongue stimulation to help your brain turn down the volume on tinnitus. AVI New England is a Lenire provider.

A new kind of tinnitus treatment, available in Connecticut
If you’ve tried to ignore the ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears and it still pulls at your focus, sleep, and peace of mind, Lenire may be the next step worth exploring. Tinnitus often begins with changes in the hearing system, and over time the brain can learn to pay closer and closer attention to that persistent sound. Lenire is an FDA-approved device that combines sound through headphones with gentle tongue stimulation to help retrain how your brain responds to tinnitus. With four decades of tinnitus expertise, our audiologists take the time to confirm whether Lenire fits your needs and personally guide you through every single week of treatment.

Understanding Bothersome Tinnitus
Tinnitus can make it hard to concentrate, fall asleep, or enjoy quiet moments, and many people feel worn down by a sound no one else can hear. It often travels with stress, anxiety, and hearing loss, and adults with moderate or more severe tinnitus tend to feel its effects the most. A professional evaluation matters because it uncovers what’s behind your tinnitus and shows whether Lenire or another approach is your best path forward.
Benefits of Professional Lenire Care
Lenire works best with expert guidance. Our audiologists combine careful testing, personalized device settings, and consistent follow-up care so your treatment matches your tinnitus and fits comfortably into your everyday routine.

Regular follow-ups track progress and adjust your care plan
Lenire is designed for adults whose tinnitus is bothersome, and it tends to help most when symptoms are moderate or more severe. Your candidacy evaluation gives us the details we need to recommend Lenire or another approach that better suits you.
Most patients use Lenire for 60 minutes a day, either in one sitting or as two 30-minute sessions, over about 12 weeks. Many people fit it into time they already spend relaxing, like reading in the evening or unwinding after work.
Most people describe the tongue stimulation as a light tingling, and you can adjust the intensity to a level that feels comfortable. You’ll listen to soothing sounds through headphones at the same time, so sessions tend to feel calm and easy.
Lenire is not intended to be a cure, but clinical research has shown meaningful reductions in tinnitus severity for many patients. Results vary from person to person, and we’ll talk honestly about realistic expectations during your evaluation.
