Levo Gen 2 Treatment for Tinnitus
A treatment that aims to reduce tinnitus intensity and its impact
Levo Gen 2 delivers the treatment at home, while you sleep.
- Levo Gen 2 is FDA-cleared for the temporary relief of tinnitus symptoms in adults.
- In person, remote or hybrid, depending on where you are.
- It starts with an evaluation by a hearing professional.
How does it work?
A comprehensive approach to managing tinnitus.
Levo Gen 2 combines acoustic stimulation during sleep with the Continuous Learning Platform (CLP), aiming to reduce tinnitus intensity and its impact on daily life. Each night, a sound matched to your tinnitus plays while you sleep. At any time, step by step, the CLP offers short lessons and exercises to help you understand tinnitus and manage distress.
The treatment is not self-guided: your hearing professional sets it up, follows your progress and adjusts it when needed.
How to get started
The first step is to find out whether Levo Gen 2 is right for you. Treatment takes about one year and requires a compatible iPhone or iPad and compatible Apple earbuds. It does not work on Android.

Initial evaluation
A hearing professional evaluates your tinnitus and hearing, and decides whether Levo Gen 2 is right for you.
Adaptation
Your hearing professional designs your personalized acoustic prescription. You learn to use Levo Gen 2 and the Continuous Learning Platform.
Nightly stimulation
Acoustic stimulation every night and Continuous Learning Platform content. Your hearing professional follows your progress at regular visits.
Gradual withdrawal
Stimulation is gradually withdrawn to help changes hold over time.
Levo Gen 2
The second generation of the Levo system brings acoustic stimulation during sleep, the Continuous Learning Platform and progress tracking together in one app. Your personalized acoustic prescription is matched to the frequency, timbre and intensity of your tinnitus. Each night, Levo Gen 2 records the stimulation intensity and hours of use, and your hearing professional adjusts the treatment with that data. For prescription use only, in adults 18 and older.
Clinical note: results and timelines vary with hearing profile, adherence and comorbidities.

FAQ
What can I expect from the therapy? Will my tinnitus go away?
The goal is not to eliminate tinnitus completely, but for it to bother you less: to be noticed less often and, when noticed, to cause less distress.
In a published study (Drexler et al., International Journal of Audiology, 2016; 12 patients enrolled, 11 completed; 3 months; with an earlier version of the Levo system, before Levo Gen 2), tinnitus intensity decreased by an average of 80%, and its impact on quality of life (TFI), by 77%.
These are group averages. Results and timelines vary with hearing profile, adherence and comorbidities.
How long does the therapy take?
About one year, in three phases: adaptation, nightly stimulation and gradual withdrawal.
Your hearing professional adjusts the treatment based on your progress.
When will I start noticing results?
Results are gradual and vary from person to person.
Regular use matters, and your hearing professional reviews your progress at follow-up visits.
Do I need to listen to the therapy every day?
Yes. The sound therapy is used every night during sleep. The Continuous Learning Platform can be used at any time, step by step.
Regular use matters: Levo Gen 2 records your hours of use each night, and your hearing professional reviews them at follow-up visits.
