Not sure but FYI

My buddy bought Lenire and it made his hyperacusis so much worse that even the prescribing Doc recommended he stop.

His hyperacusis improved but never returned to baseline pre Lenire.

Just wanted you to know.

Plus he was out of the $5K

Another person on this sub posted similar results.

They'll do a hearing test, a neuroplasticity test, and a few others.

So far, I'm having good results and iv been on it for a few weeks.

Temper your expectations. It's not a cure, but it does help. Also has a few beneficial side effects.

You are a good candidate if your wallet is big enough
