Horizon Hearing & Tinnitus
Lenire Tinnitus Treatment in Walla Walla, WA
Bimodal Neuromodulation for Tinnitus Relief
FDA-Approved Lenire Treatment
Lenire is an FDA-approved medical device that uses bimodal neuromodulation to treat tinnitus—the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other sounds when no external sound is present. This innovative treatment combines customized sound therapy delivered through Bluetooth headphones with gentle electrical stimulation via a tongue-tip device. By stimulating both the auditory system and the tongue simultaneously, Lenire works to retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus signals over time.
Horizon Hearing & Tinnitus is proud to offer Lenire to patients throughout the Walla Walla Valley and surrounding regions, providing access to this groundbreaking treatment without the need to travel to larger metropolitan areas. Real-world studies have shown a clinical meaningful improvement of tinnitus in up to 91.5% of users. The treatment is completed at home with two 30-minute sessions daily, typically for a minimum of 12 weeks. We provide comprehensive support throughout your treatment journey, including initial fitting, follow-up appointments, and ongoing guidance to ensure optimal results. Relief from tinnitus is on the horizon.
From Evaluation to Relief
Your Lenire Treatment Journey
Your Lenire treatment begins with a comprehensive tinnitus evaluation at our Walla Walla office. This assessment includes a complete hearing test and specialized tinnitus measurements to determine if Lenire is appropriate for your specific situation. We require a recent hearing test completed within six months to establish your baseline auditory function and tinnitus characteristics.
Once approved for Lenire treatment, we’ll schedule your device fitting appointment. During this visit, we’ll customize the Lenire settings specifically for your tinnitus profile and ensure you’re comfortable using the device. We’ll provide detailed instructions on the treatment protocol and answer all your questions.
The Lenire device is yours to use at home, providing the flexibility to complete your therapy sessions on your schedule. Throughout your treatment, our team remains available to provide support and address any concerns, ensuring you have the best possible experience and outcomes.
