The establishment of Ótologie, Ireland’s first dedicated tinnitus care clinic, follows a successful pilot of a telehealth service for tinnitus patients by Neuromod. In 2021, Neuromod piloted a telehealth service to treat tinnitus patients in the UK and throughout Europe. This pilot complemented Neuromod’s in-person treatment services at its clinic in Dublin, allowing patients to attend appointments and proceed with treatment at the clinic or via video call according to their preference. Due to the success of the pilot, which allowed patients to progress to treatment within days of contacting the service and avoid waiting lists for public ENT appointments, Neuromod established Ótologie to provide quick access to tinnitus care from qualified healthcare professionals who can prescribe a range of proven treatments including Lenire, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and hearing aids. The service streamlines the typical healthcare journey for tinnitus patients, offering them next day appointments which they can attend online or in-clinic. Ótologie is located at the Hermitage clinic in Dublin. MORE INFO CONTACT: [email protected] (PRNewsfoto/Neuromod Devices Ltd.)
