FDA-Authorized Tinnitus Treatment Targets Root Causes of Ringing in the Ears


Innovative Bimodal Neuromodulation Device Combines Sound and Tongue Stimulation to Reduce Tinnitus Symptoms


Tempe, AZ – Dr. Rohe at the Tinnitus & Hearing Center of Arizona is pleased to announce the availability of Lenire®, an FDA-authorized tinnitus treatment device designed to reduce the severity of tinnitus through a clinically proven, non-invasive approach.


Lenire represents a significant advancement in tinnitus care by addressing the neurological activity associated with tinnitus rather than simply masking symptoms.


Bimodal Neuromodulation: A New Approach to Tinnitus Relief


Lenire works by delivering bimodal neuromodulation, a patented treatment that combines auditory stimulation through headphones with gentle electrical stimulation to the tongue via a device called the Tonguetip®. This synchronized stimulation helps retrain the brain’s neural pathways involved in tinnitus perception.


Key features of the Lenire system include:


  • Dual Stimulation Therapy: Combines precisely timed sound and tongue stimulation to promote beneficial neuroplastic changes in the brain
  • Customized Treatment Programs: Individually programmed by hearing care professionals based on each patient’s tinnitus profile
  • At-Home Use: Portable and designed for daily use, typically 30–60 minutes per session
  • Clinically Supported Outcomes: Backed by large-scale clinical studies showing significant reduction in tinnitus symptom severity for many patients


Clinically Guided, Personalized Care
At Tinnitus & Hearing Center of Arizona, Lenire treatment is delivered as part of a comprehensive tinnitus management program. Patients undergo a detailed assessment to determine candidacy and receive ongoing support and adjustments throughout their treatment journey.


Unlike traditional approaches that rely on sound masking or coping strategies alone, Lenire is designed to produce lasting improvements by targeting the underlying neural mechanisms of tinnitus.


A Non-Invasive Alternative for Chronic Tinnitus
Lenire offers a drug-free, non-surgical option for individuals experiencing persistent tinnitus. Many patients report improvements in tinnitus loudness, intrusiveness, and overall quality of life after consistent use.


This makes it an ideal solution for individuals who have not found sufficient relief from hearing aids, sound therapy, or other conventional treatments.


Availability
Lenire is now available at Tinnitus & Hearing Center of Arizona. Due to growing demand and the need for individualized treatment planning, patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation in advance.

Discovering the Link Between Tinnitus and Anxiety

By alyssa brekken • February 2, 2026
Anxiety can cause many ailments, including tinnitus. Meanwhile, tinnitus can worsen anxiety. The two together can fuel a vicious cycle, but there are ways to tame down each and help alleviate the tinnitus and anxiety relationship. The Vicious Cycle: How Tinnitus Fuels Anxiety Those who have or have had tinnitus will likely agree that the constant noise is hard to get relief from. For many, it can worsen anxiety, and for some, it can directly cause it. Unfortunately, tinnitus and mental health issues often feed on each other. When general anxiety elevates to a fight-or-flight response, it creates an elevation in heart rate and shortness of breath, which heightens tinnitus. Alone or together, tinnitus and anxiety often make it hard to relax, to fall asleep, and to stay asleep. For some, the combination of tinnitus and anxiety also leads to social avoidance and isolation. That worsens the anxiety and contributes to depression. Concern may grow that the tinnitus will never go away and that it may be a sign of something more serious. This can lead to insecurity about the future and a feeling of hopelessness. The Amplifier: How Anxiety Worsens Tinnitus Stress hormones, including adrenaline, cortisol, and epinephrine, affect the nervous system and can affect the auditory system itself, leading to a reduction of blood circulation in the ears. The overstimulation of the nervous system can also cause cell damage through a lack of oxygen, worsening tinnitus, and contributing to a loss of hearing. For those who experience panic attacks, both a temporary ringing and long-term tinnitus, along with a pulsating in the ear canals, may begin as a panic attack heightens. The sound and pulsations can contribute to anxiety and cause a fear of potential threats. As such, the tinnitus amplifies and becomes louder, more noticeable, and more irritating.

In fact, one of the first things many of our patients say is, “I can’t believe how natural everything sounds!” Or they might remark on how comfortable they are to wear.
