Introducing the Oto Tinnitus Management Program
A structured, clinician-guided program that pairs expert audiological care with daily app-based therapy — so you’re never managing tinnitus alone.
What Is the Oto Program?
Oto is a clinically validated, app-based tinnitus management program developed by military physicians and tinnitus specialists who live with the condition themselves. Available exclusively through approved audiologists, Oto combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness training, relaxation techniques, and sound therapy into a daily 10-minute program your brain can do anywhere.
Research consistently shows that tinnitus distress isn’t caused by sound alone — it’s driven by how the brain’s auditory and emotional networks respond to that sound. Oto targets both systems simultaneously, helping your brain learn to stop treating tinnitus as a threat.
Your Oto Journey at West Valley Hearing Center
A structured program, personally guided by your audiologist at every step.
Step 1: Tinnitus Evaluation
Your audiologist conducts a comprehensive hearing and tinnitus assessment to understand your unique experience and identify contributing factors.
Step 2: Personalized Care Plan
We create a tailored treatment plan that may include hearing aids, sound therapy, and your customized Oto app program — built around your specific needs.
Step 3: Daily Brain Training
Use the Oto app for just 10 minutes a day. CBT-based audio sessions, relaxation exercises, and a curated sound library help retrain your brain’s response to tinnitus.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring
Your audiologist reviews your real-time progress and adjusts your plan as you improve. We stay in your corner throughout the entire process.
