What Modern Tinnitus does

Modern Tinnitus is a privately held, Scottsdale-based tinnitus specialty clinic and treatment platform company founded in 2024 by Dr. Craig Kasper (CEO), Dr. Cliff Olson (CMO), and Ashley Olson (COO). The company treats chronic tinnitus through an integrated eight-pillar approach combining FDA-approved bimodal neuromodulation (Lenire), digital therapeutics (CBT-based programs via partner Oto Health), hearing aids, sound therapy, sleep optimization, movement therapy, mindfulness-based psychological interventions, and a proprietary biometric tracking platform called Modern Tinnitus Basecamp. Basecamp aggregates sleep, heart rate variability, physical activity, and stress data from wearables to provide objective proxies for treatment outcomes, addressing the historical inability of audiologists to measure tinnitus progress quantitatively.

The company operates a flagship clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, and distributes its treatment protocol and Basecamp platform through a network of affiliated Modern Tinnitus Specialty Centers, recruited via discovery calls and demos. Patient acquisition relies heavily on Dr. Cliff Olson's Dr. Cliff AuD YouTube channel, described as making him the most recognized audiologist globally, supplemented by an SEO-optimized website with a 'Find a Provider' portal and a 'Take Our Tinnitus Quiz' lead capture tool. Revenue mechanics span professional services for clinical care, hardware sales (Lenire device, hearing aids), subscription digital therapeutics, and one-time sound therapy licenses; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Modern Tinnitus has assembled a three-partner ecosystem in its first year, with Oto Health providing digital therapeutics, My Vitals Pro providing business analytics, and Staffing Proxy supporting clinical recruitment for affiliated centers. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and serves only the United States market. Its differentiation rests on the combination of FDA-cleared Lenire hardware, the proprietary Basecamp biometric platform, the clinical credibility of its founders, and the consumer reach of Dr. Olson's YouTube presence.
