Oto: Tinnitus Relief & Therapy

This app is certainly fine. It has a variety of sounds. I use it a supplement to a Neo Sensory band to overcome tinnitus stimulus. The sounds are just that. The CBT is equal to mindfullness. All fine. However, the app suggests it can provide tangible results. It does not. Talking folks to shrink their ringing into a small ball in a box is quite ridiculous. 80$ is a lot for this type of advice. As a ED RN, as a medical professional I find this is disappointing as an app that promotes a solution. Sorry folks.

This app only has about 30 days worth of content for $160 USD. I expected more and regret the purchase.

Working through OTO App to assist me in living with Tinnitus. A lot of great and useful information that makes me believe I can manage my Tinitus.

Through the lessons on Otto I have learned to live with my tinnitus thank you so much.

Thank you OTO team for this amazing tool. In particular, the CBT sessions made all the difference to my recovery. I actually no longer need the support of OTO but I credit it with giving me life-long tools that I can rely on to manage my tinnitus going forward.

I was so hopeful but the background sound of birds shrieking is extremely jarring and makes it impossible for me to focus . The instructions say to tap the “t” button to change the background sound but there is no “t” button. I sent a message and they responded by asking if I want to know what CBT is. Right now the app is not much use to me if it’s going to screech at me while I’m trying to learn in a relaxed state. Update: we’ll I figured out how to stop the bird sounds but the instructions on the app are out of date. If the developers can’t be bothered to update their help section, that’s not a good sign. I continued to use the app for about a week. It’s really just a recording of a woman telling you to breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth and telling you to close your eyes and imagine your problems floating on a leaf in a river. The developers got $15 from me for this and I think they should be ashamed of abusing and taking advantage of desperate people like this.

I work in construction. My tinnitus got really bad around Christmas time last year and it has been my constant companion ever since. For the last two weeks of December I could barely sleep. I craved silence but could never find it. I was at the end of my rope when I found this App. It’s changed my life. Thanks Oto. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Loving this app. A week in and I’m have hope

They promote their paid tier in the app, which is fine and there are several things that have a lock on them unless you pay. But they have you start a 6 week program and if you click ahead, there’s no lock icon on weeks ahead, making you feel like you can do the program for free and just not upgrade to the live counseling if you don’t want. well, after you do the 1 week intro, the lock suddenly appears on the rest of the course unless you pay $130 for 3 months.. screwed up for an app claiming to want to help. just be upfront and not shady, oto.

When I find myself panicking about my ear ringing, I know I have something to turn to with this app. I’m surprising myself with the progress I’m making and I know I wouldn’t be able to achieve that alone!
