Potential Benefits and Limitations

In a clinical study, 86.2% of patients who followed the program reported improvements after 12 weeks (source: NIH). Benefits may include:
- Lower tinnitus volume or annoyance
- Better sleep
- Improved focus and relaxation
- Stronger overall quality of life
But it’s important to keep expectations realistic:
- Results vary between people
- Some may need ongoing maintenance use
- Possible temporary side effects include tingling on the tongue, minor taste changes, or short-lived increases in tinnitus awareness
Lenire is not a cure. Instead, it helps reduce the impact of tinnitus, making it less intrusive in daily life.
