Not for $4,000 though. Also, after reading a bit more it's just a pretty standard device that makes you think about something else. So for the meantime me setting up my headphones on a low-medium volume with something to listen to is far cheaper and provides the same long-lasting results (i.e. none confirmed). Nothing against the Lenire of course, I was mostly hoping treatment leaned on the side of fix!

In terms of effectiveness, I'm sure it does a great job. My tinnitus is definitely able to be noticed then gets worse, which is why having close sound right up in there helps a lot for me. (Speakers don't quite "drown out" the tone the way in-ear or over-ear headphones do). The article also has it spot on about the wide range of causes and reliefs. I often use sounds of water to help alleviate a flareup.

Anyway, nice read. A little too bad it's not something long term, and that it's so expensive for what sounds like the prank shock-gum for your tongue and a pair of headphones
