Oto: Tinnitus Relief & Therapy

I experienced my tinnitus for the first time one year ago. It is a very high pitched noise and at the start I was panicking. So I went to a psychologist and as I wanted to do more when at home, I started using the Oto app. I have to say that it helped me tremendously, for which I am very grateful. Sometimes I have a little flare up, when I am stressed or have a lot on my plate. But I know that it will go away in a few days by just not paying to much attention to it. For the last few weeks, I have a flare up again. This time it is taking weeks for it to go away, resulting in me having a more negative reaction to it again. So I am back at using the Oto app and practicing daily. As I was able to become in stage 4 before, I am confident that I will be able to do so using Oto. I highly recommend to use it when you are suffering from your tinnitus. No worries, it will get better!

This app has been absolutely paramount in giving me a new perspective, not only on my issues with tinnitus, but many aspects of broader mental health as well. It has been very helpful in regards to making my relationship with my tinnitus better and I would highly recommend it if you are struggling. It was also one of the first apps o ever spent “real” money on, and it is worth it entirely. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

This app just takes typical CBT breathing exercises and repeats exercises done in previous modules. Uses typical mindfulness meditation. You can get this free. The Veterans Administration has a free app, which really helps with anxiety. Some of OTOs exercises are quite similar to the VA app. Go to the App store and get it free.

$560 a year? Give me a break!!

On iOS 18.1, this app is draining 20% battery per hour on an iPhone 15 Pro. The only feature I’m using is playing background noise with phone not in use & the screen turned off. Phone gets exceptionally warm only when OTO app is running. I like the app but can’t use it if this continues.

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!

I used the app during the free trial and found it to be pretty good. There are lots of things that can be found in other apps, but I liked the presentation. My biggest issue is with the pricing. On their website, it clearly says it's £36 per month. However, the only option they give you on the app is $138. First, that's very expensive for an app that only does a few things margianally better, but whey the decpetive pricing? When I asked them, they said the web pricing is really just another way of spreading out the cost over 3 months. But, website doesn't have that dislaimer or, if it is true, then why not offer that as an option? It soured me on the company behind the app

Hard to believe there are only a couple other reviews of this app. I've found it incredibly helpful in managing my tinnitus; it's also well-organized and easy to use. I'd recommend it for anyone learning to deal with this problem.
