Lenire® Tinnitus Treatment in Ohio
First FDA-cleared medical device using bimodal neuromodulation — we're one of only three certified providers in Ohio
Tinnitus Relief Starts Here
If you live with ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring in your ears, you're not alone—and you're not out of options.
At Sounds of Life Hearing Center, we specialize in science-based tinnitus care that goes far beyond simple sound masking.
What Is Lenire?
Lenire is a non-invasive, at-home medical device that trains the brain to respond to tinnitus in a calmer, less reactive way.
How Lenire Works
It works through dual stimulation:
Auditory Nerve – Soothing sound delivered through headphones
Trigeminal Nerve – Gentle electrical pulses to the tongue
This pairing encourages neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to “re-map” its response to tinnitus.
What to Expect
Week 1-2: Initial adjustment period as your brain adapts to the treatment
Week 3-6: Many patients begin noticing reduced tinnitus severity
Week 7-12: Continued improvement with lasting neuroplastic changes
Why Lenire is Different
Targets the root cause, not just symptoms
No masking devices or background noise required
Clinically proven to create lasting relief
Used in the comfort of your own home
What the Research Shows
Lenire has been validated in clinical trials and real-world use:
70–80% of participants in FDA trials reported meaningful relief
91.5% of patients in a 2025 Nature Communications study improved after 12 weeks
Patients reported better sleep, focus, and emotional well-being

“Dr. Curtis may have saved my life. I suddenly developed tinnitus, and it was driving me crazy. Before I found Dr. Curtis I'd been to two different ENTs who basically told me to ‘avoid quiet.’ As an introvert who spends a lot of time thinking, I couldn't do that. I was in agony wondering if I'd ever be able to enjoy silence again. I was freaking out in her office telling her all this, and she expertly calmed me down and told me that she could help me. I found Dr. Curtis on Google, and right away her website told me she was frustrated with how other ENTs tell people with tinnitus to ‘avoid quiet.’ She understands tinnitus better than any other doctor I've seen (she's had it her entire life) and will actually treat your tinnitus. I purchased a Lenire device from her to treat my tinnitus, and the results were amazing. After a few months, I notice my tinnitus much less often, it's not as prominent when I do notice it, and most importantly it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to. Sometimes, I can even enjoy silence. Thank you, Dr. Curtis. You gave me back peace and quiet. You gave me back my life. If you're suffering from tinnitus, you don't have to! Get yourself to Dr. Curtis.”
