Western Colorado Hearing Clinic has joined in an effort to meet growing demand for a tinnitus treatment device.

Neuromod Devices, a medical technology company that developed the Lenire tinnitus treatment device, partnered with Western Colorado Hearing Clinic to offer the device.

“We are thrilled to be offering this technology in our clinic for our patients,” said Jennifer BeBee, a doctor of audiology who owns Western Colorado Hearing Clinic. “Tinnitus can be incredibly frustrating and disruptive to a person’s life. Being able to offer an at-home treatment device that has proven to be effective at relieving tinnitus is incredibly rewarding.”

Tinnitus — commonly known as ringing in the ears — is a brain signaling condition that causes people to perceive sound with no external source. It’s estimated tinnitus affects
25 million people in the United States.

Lenire works by delivering mild electrical pulses to the tongue. Combined with auditory stimulation through headphones, the treatment promotes changes in the brain to relieve tinnitus.
