Oto Launches Partner Program

London, UK – Oto today announces the launch of its partner program. This will allow any audiology provider to deliver evidence-based tinnitus management using Oto’s digitally enabled pathway or complement their current tinnitus treatment offerings using Oto’s digital therapeutic.

Oto’s partner program aims to balance the mismatch between the millions with intrusive tinnitus, and the scarcity of healthcare professionals trained to deliver therapy. Using Oto’s digital treatment pathway any audiologist can now manage tinnitus-associated distress autonomously without the need for an external referral. The pathway consists of therapy delivered via Oto’s mobile app complemented by face-to- face appointments with an audiologist.

Until now, audiology providers were often limited in management options they felt able to offer for patients or clients with tinnitus. Those needing formal treatment would require a referral to a specialist, resulting the provider losing that client. Oto’s partner program provides audiologists with all the tools and training they need to start managing tinnitus in-house. They can now deliver a personalized program to their patients that includes all the latest evidence-based therapy – including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), targeted mindfulness, sound therapy and relaxation therapy.

Dr Edmund Farrar, Co-Founder of Oto, said: “We envision a world where tinnitus treatment is instantly accessible for all. Audiologists play such a pivotal role in tinnitus management, so we see it as essential that they feel able to provide effective tinnitus therapy to their patients. Our partner program allows just that – for any audiologist to provide evidence-based tinnitus care.”
