#3Seems basic enough that this device should be available without the whole "go to a
Lenire doctor" consultation, but I guess people gotta get paid.

#4> It includes a plastic mouthpiece with stainless steel electrodes that electrically stimulate the tongue.
All I can picture is the device John Lithgow uses in Buckaroo Banzai.
I might need to try this soon. I've had tinnitus for about 6 months after a cold. Last week, the doctor said my hearing is perfect and to just wait it out. It's frustrating.

I've had tinnitus for decades, and my hearing always checked out fine. Idk what the cause was, maybe too much loud band music.
I figure if it's not bad enough to affect my hearing on an audiologist's test, it's fine.

Where's the superior Chinese knockoff version.

#9Hmm, seems interesting but it's intended to take the "focus" off of the ringing rather than actually fix the underlying cause.
Personally, having tinnitus for so long I don't even notice it anymore; it would be nice to experience complete "silence" again though.

There's no common go-to cure sadly. That's the problem.
