Presented By
Edmund Farrar
Dr. Edmund Farrar, a former military doctor, co-founded Oto after witnessing firsthand how difficult it was for patients to access quality tinnitus support. Alongside Dr. George Leidig, both shaped by their own experiences with tinnitus, Ed realized they could make a real difference by offering expert, patient-centered tinnitus coaching. Together, they’ve built Oto to help people reclaim their lives from tinnitus through accessible, evidence-based care.
