What is Oto?
Oto is a tinnitus program that audiology clinics provide to their patients. It combines a customizable library of sounds with short guided sessions and practical education, and your audiologist stays involved the whole way through.
How you get Oto You do not buy Oto directly. A participating audiology clinic sets up your account as part of the care it provides. Your clinician helps you choose where to begin, sets the pace, and reviews how you are getting on. The app itself is a free download in both app stores, but you need an account from a clinic before you can use it. For adults.
What is in the app
-
Sounds. White, pink and brown noise, nature and environmental recordings, and layered soundscapes you can mix and save. Adjustable volume and an optional sleep timer.
-
Guided sessions. Short sessions of about 5 to 10 minutes, built on CBT techniques. They sit alongside the sounds, as part of the plan your clinic sets up.
-
Education. Plain-language explanations of tinnitus and practical techniques you work through at your own pace.
-
Tools. Optional reminders, private notes, and light progress tracking.
The structured program runs about three months, 74 sessions across six areas including sound, education, relaxation, mindfulness and sleep. There is a further library of around 100 optional sessions, plus a separate sounds library you can keep using afterward.
How you use it day to day
- Your clinic creates your account and helps you pick a starting point.
- You listen to sounds and work through short sessions, most days.
- Your clinician reviews your progress and adjusts the plan.
What it costs you There is no separate Oto subscription for patients. Oto is included in the tinnitus care program your clinic provides, and the clinic decides how long you keep access, most commonly around twelve months and sometimes for life. What you pay for that care program is set by your clinic, not by Oto.
Research Oto has been evaluated in a published randomized controlled trial at Flinders University in 2023, with 96 participants. A larger randomized controlled trial run with the University of Cambridge, with around 210 participants, has completed and is awaiting publication.

Important information Oto is not intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat or prevent tinnitus or any disease or condition, and it does not replace professional care. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
