The website JoinOto.com offers an app-based tinnitus therapy program. Oto's app provides a self-guided tinnitus management solution, focusing on techniques such as
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and sound therapy to help users manage their tinnitus symptoms.
At The Hearing Lab Store, we believe that nothing has the ability to provide sound therapy in a more targeted way than using the tinnitus modules provided by the world's best
manufacturer's of modern hearing aids delivered by tinnitus specialising audiologists.
Sound therapy together with CBT are still the go-to therapies for tinnitus treatment in the UK. We recommend the Liverpool Psychology Practice for face-to-face and online one-to-one CBT sessions
OTO tries to deliver this using an app and whilst the solution is elegant and may provide some relief, it doesn't compare to human-delivered therapy.
The app aims to help users better understand and manage their tinnitus through evidence-based practices, providing support and tools that can be accessed anytime, offering flexibility and ongoing support.
If the app was a much cheaper alternative, then it would get more merit, but at the time of writing, CBT sessions in most locations around the UK are reasonably priced.
The app also can't assess your ears and may potentially miss the cause of the problem. This could be something quite serious or something that might have a simple solution.
Tinnitus should always be investigated by a professional, especially if it is more prominent on one side. Learn more and find a local professional, here.
