Take control of your tinnitus with a science-based therapy programme created by two military doctors and tinnitus experts.
Oto was founded by ex-military doctors and tinnitus sufferers Edmund Farrar and George Leidig. During their time in the RAF and Royal Navy respectively, they saw first-hand the frustration and struggles that tinnitus could cause. Some of their patients were waiting months for professional help.
Tinnitus just didn’t seem to be taken as seriously as other conditions.
So they decided to leave the military and found Oto. They brought together an expert team to create a mobile app that treats tinnitus. They saw how complex and confusing treatment could be, so knew how important it would be to keep things simple.
With Oto, you’ll be guided on a journey, learning the tools and techniques which you need to find tinnitus relief.
How will the app benefit me?
– Access tinnitus therapy whenever you need it, from the comfort of your own home
– A treatment programme based on the latest scientific research, combining cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) , tinnitus mindfulness, relaxation and sound therapy.
– Built by experts –Oto’s team has decades of experience in tinnitus management
How does the therapy work?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is proven to be the most effective way to treat tinnitus. It trains your brain to respond differently to the sound it perceives. Gradually the changes in your neural network mean you hear your tinnitus less and less. Habituation is the point at which you no longer notice it at all, with little impact on your quality of life.
With Oto, you will build your own personal toolkit of CBT, mindfulness based therapy, relaxation techniques and sound therapy. You’ll reduce the intrusion of tinnitus by managing the stress associated with it, improving your sleep and moving to a place where you’re more in control.
How can I access Oto with UK Veterans Hearing Foundation?
You can try the app for a month completely free. If you find it useful, the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation will fund a year’s use.
