A New Approach to Tinnitus Relief
For patients who haven’t found adequate relief through traditional tinnitus management, Lenire offers a breakthrough option. This FDA-approved medical device uses bimodal neuromodulation to retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus, helping reduce the perception of ringing, buzzing, and other phantom sounds that disrupt daily life.
Optimum Audiology is proud to offer Lenire treatment to patients throughout Southern and Central California. With Dr. Kristi Mendoza’s 30+ years of audiology experience—including specialized work with Veterans who commonly experience tinnitus—our team provides the expertise and ongoing support needed to achieve optimal results.
How Lenire Works
Lenire combines two forms of stimulation to change how your brain processes tinnitus signals. The system delivers customized sound therapy through Bluetooth headphones while simultaneously providing gentle electrical pulses to the tongue via a small device called the Tonguetip. This dual stimulation—targeting both the auditory system and the trigeminal nerve—helps the brain reclassify tinnitus as background noise rather than a prominent, bothersome signal.
Real-world studies have shown clinically meaningful improvement in up to 91.5% of Lenire users. Many patients report reduced tinnitus volume, decreased annoyance, and improved quality of life after completing treatment.
Your Lenire Treatment Journey
Comprehensive Evaluation
Treatment begins with a thorough tinnitus and hearing evaluation at one of our California locations. We assess your hearing thresholds, characterize your tinnitus, and review your medical history to determine if Lenire is appropriate for your situation. A hearing test completed within the past six months is required before beginning treatment.
Device Fitting and Customization
Once approved, we schedule your fitting appointment. During this visit, we customize the Lenire device settings specifically for your tinnitus profile, demonstrate proper use of the equipment, and ensure you’re comfortable with the treatment protocol.
At-Home Treatment
The Lenire device is yours to use at home, providing flexibility to complete therapy on your schedule. The standard protocol involves two 30-minute sessions daily for a minimum of 12 weeks. Most patients begin noticing improvements within the first few weeks of consistent use.
Ongoing Support
Throughout your treatment, our team remains available to answer questions, address concerns, and make any necessary adjustments. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and optimize your experience.
Is Lenire Right for You?
Lenire is appropriate for most adults experiencing bothersome tinnitus. However, certain conditions may make other treatment approaches more suitable. Your comprehensive evaluation will help determine whether Lenire, hearing aids with tinnitus features, sound therapy, or another approach offers the best path to relief.

If tinnitus is affecting your sleep, concentration, or quality of life, you don’t have to accept it as permanent. Request a callback today to schedule a Lenire consultation with Dr. Mendoza and discover whether this innovative treatment can help you find relief.

Lenire is an FDA-approved device that uses bimodal neuromodulation to treat tinnitus. It combines customized sound therapy delivered through headphones with gentle electrical pulses to the tongue. This dual stimulation helps retrain your brain's response to tinnitus over time, reducing the perception of ringing or buzzing sounds.
Real-world studies have shown clinically meaningful improvement in up to 91.5% of Lenire users. Results vary by individual, but many patients report reduced tinnitus volume, decreased annoyance, and improved quality of life after completing the treatment protocol.
The standard Lenire protocol involves two 30-minute treatment sessions per day for a minimum of 12 weeks. Treatment is completed at home on your own schedule. Most patients begin noticing improvements within the first few weeks of consistent use.
No. Lenire treatment is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. The tongue stimulation produces a mild tingling sensation that most users find comfortable. Some people experience temporary changes in tinnitus perception during the initial weeks, which typically stabilize as treatment progresses.
No referral is necessary to schedule a Lenire consultation at Optimum Audiology. However, we require a comprehensive hearing test completed within the past six months before beginning treatment to establish your baseline hearing and tinnitus characteristics.
Lenire is appropriate for most adults experiencing bothersome tinnitus. However, certain conditions may exclude some individuals from treatment. Your comprehensive evaluation will determine whether Lenire is the right option for your specific situation or whether another approach is more effective.
Lenire can be used alongside hearing aids. Many tinnitus patients have underlying hearing loss, and addressing both conditions often produces the best outcomes. During your evaluation, we'll discuss how Lenire can complement your existing hearing care.
Unlike sound therapy alone or masking devices, Lenire actively modulates how your brain processes tinnitus signals through bimodal neuromodulation. This approach targets neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself—rather than simply covering up the tinnitus sound.
Many patients experience lasting benefits after completing the initial treatment protocol. Some choose to continue maintenance sessions. During your follow-up appointments, we'll assess your progress and recommend whether additional treatment would be beneficial for your situation.
