FAQs

What is Oto?

Oto is a guided program that helps you retrain your brain's response to your tinnitus with short, daily audio sessions.

Why was Oto created?

Finding effective help for tinnitus is hard. Our founders -and many on our team - live with tinnitus. We built Oto to make proven help easy to use at home.

Who founded Oto?

Oto was founded by Dr Edmund Farrar, Dr George Leidig and Dr Jameel Muzaffar.

Who is on your Scientific Advisory Board?

We work with world-leading tinnitus specialists and researchers, including Dr Sujana Chandrasekhar, Dr Gail Whitelaw, Dr Ali Danesh and Dr Emily McMahan. They help keep our program aligned with the best evidence.

Where are you based?

We have teams in the UK (London office) and the US (virtual team).

How is Oto different from a meditation or sound app?

Oto is a structured CBT-based program. You learn step-by-step skills that actually change how your brain reacts to the tinnitus. Oto is clinically proven to be effective.
