Edmund is an ex-military doctor who co-founded Oto after realizing his patients' challenges when trying to access tinnitus support. Shaped by his own experiences with tinnitus, Ed and Dr George Leidig (co-founder) shared a vision to help as many people as possible get their lives back from tinnitus through expert tinnitus coaching.

Their mobile app allows instant access to evidence-based treatment for people with tinnitus, and the therapy is centred around cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Ed is also keen to share his personal story and talk about tinnitus in veterans and the military. He will also have the results of a clinical trial on a groundbreaking study to assess the impact of remotely delivering tinnitus therapy toward the end of the year.

In this episode, host Carly Sygrove welcomes special guest Amy Morton, founder of Living With Hearing Loss UK. Amy shares her personal journey with hearing loss and how the pandemic highlighted the challenges faced by the deaf community. Together, they discuss the importance of advocacy, community support, and raising awareness about hearing loss.
