Is there any evidence that those things actually work? I haven't done a lot of research on it, but I asked my ENT about it and she said that they don't have a great success rate and they're pretty expensive so I don't want to pay for it.

Maybe I could apply for a clinical trial.

If I recall correctly, the better form of bimodal stimulation was found by Susan Shore et al.[1][2][3]. Lenire created a quick and dirty version and got it approved, while Shore's device is still stuck in limbo.

If it ever gets approved, it should be considerably better than Lenire, but it's sure taking its time.

A HN user said they'd provide specs to reproduce such a device, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43920360
