Lenire Tinnitus Treatment Near Burlingame, CA

Access FDA-approved Lenire tinnitus therapy near Burlingame at California Hearing Center — provided as part of a comprehensive tinnitus care program.

Lenire for Burlingame Residents with Chronic Tinnitus

If you live in Burlingame and tinnitus is affecting your sleep, focus, or ability to enjoy quiet moments, you are not alone.
Many people first try to wait it out, mask it with background noise, or search online for answers — only to realize months later that tinnitus
is still a daily issue.

Lenire is the first FDA-approved bimodal neuromodulation device for tinnitus. It combines tailored sound therapy through headphones
with gentle tongue stimulation to help retrain how the brain responds to tinnitus over time.

At California Hearing Center, our tinnitus-focused audiologists provide comprehensive evaluations, Lenire candidacy assessments,
and follow-up care for patients from Burlingame and the surrounding Peninsula.

How Lenire Tinnitus Treatment Works

Tinnitus is influenced by activity in the auditory system and the brain — not just the ears. Lenire is designed to gently change
how your brain processes sound and how it reacts to tinnitus.

Lenire uses two types of stimulation together:

• Sound therapy through headphones – customized audio based on your hearing profile.
• Mild electrical pulses on the tongue – delivered through a small mouthpiece called a “tonguetip.”

When these signals are presented together in carefully timed patterns, they can encourage the brain to reorganize its response to tinnitus.
Many patients describe their tinnitus as less intrusive, easier to tune out, or less emotionally distressing over time.

Why Burlingame Patients Choose California Hearing Center for Lenire

Not every clinic offering Lenire has strong tinnitus experience. At California Hearing Center, Lenire is part of a broader tinnitus program
led by audiologists who specialize in tinnitus and sound sensitivity, including
Dr. Emily McMahan.

Burlingame patients often choose us because we provide:

• Careful screening to determine whether Lenire is appropriate for you
• Personalized plans that may combine Lenire, sound therapy, counseling strategies, and hearing care
• Structured follow-up visits to track progress and fine-tune your program
• Clear expectations — no “miracle cure” claims, just an evidence-based path forward
• A team that can support you long-term, not just hand you a device

Is Lenire Right for You?

Lenire can be a strong option for some people, but it is not the right fit for everyone. We typically consider Lenire if you:

• Have had tinnitus for several months or longer
• Notice tinnitus affects your sleep, focus, or quality of life
• Are willing and able to use the device regularly at home as recommended
• Have completed a tinnitus evaluation and any necessary medical follow-up

During your appointment, your audiologist will review your history, hearing results, and goals to determine whether Lenire — or another tinnitus approach —
is the best next step.

What to Expect from Lenire Treatment (Serving Burlingame)

1. Comprehensive Tinnitus Evaluation

We start with a detailed tinnitus evaluation. This includes hearing testing and, when appropriate, tinnitus-specific measures such as tinnitus pitch and loudness matching.
The goal is to understand your tinnitus and what drives it.

2. Lenire Setup and Programming

If Lenire is a good fit, your device is configured based on your tinnitus profile and hearing. You’ll learn exactly how to use it at home
and what a realistic routine looks like.

3. Home Sessions + Follow-Up Visits

Lenire is typically used in daily or near-daily sessions at home. You’ll return for follow-up visits so we can monitor progress,
answer questions, and adjust your program as needed.

4. Gradual, Realistic Progress

Improvements are usually gradual — not overnight. Many patients report their tinnitus becomes less dominant, easier to ignore,
and less emotionally “sticky” over time.

California Hearing Center is especially convenient for Burlingame residents. Our San Mateo clinic is a short drive south and easy to reach from downtown Burlingame,
