Susan Shore Tinnitus Device: What We Know in 2026

In this episode, Dr. Layne Garrett provides a clear, evidence-based update on the Susan Shore tinnitus device—also known as the Auricle system—and where it actually stands in 2026. Many people living with tinnitus are waiting for this technology, but the truth is that the device has not yet received FDA approval, and no public release timeline has been announced. Dr. Garrett explains what the published research shows, why the results are promising for individuals with somatic tinnitus, and how bimodal neuromodulation works on the auditory and somatosensory pathways involved in tinnitus perception.

He also discusses an important point: effective tinnitus care does not require waiting for future devices. Options such as Lenire, hearing aids, cognitive behavioral therapy, sound therapy, and structured tinnitus rehabilitation are already available and supported by clinical evidence. As an audiologist, Dr. Garrett emphasizes practical steps you can take to reduce auditory load, support neural adaptation, and regain a sense of control.
