Oto review

Oto is the only app here that comes with an audiologist attached. You get it through a participating clinic, which sets up your account, shows you where to start and reviews how you are doing. The app centers on a library of calming sounds, including white, pink and brown noise, nature sounds and soundscapes you can mix, with volume control and a sleep timer. Around it sit guided sessions of about 5 to 10 minutes that draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, short lessons about tinnitus, reminders, private notes and progress tracking you can review with your audiologist. There is no separate app subscription. Oto says a basic care plan without devices typically costs $500 to $1,000 at participating US clinics, covering an evaluation, one to one sessions, ongoing support and the app; if your plan includes hearing aids, Oto comes at no extra cost. Most clinics give around 12 months of access. Oto states it does not diagnose and does not replace professional care.
