OTO-BIOMECHANICS LLC

OTO-Biomechanics LLC is a private medical device and research company based in Norman, Oklahoma that specializes in developing advanced in-ear hearing protection technologies using nano-porous polyurea aerogel, a soft, customizable, low-density material with strong acoustic performance. The company's work addresses the occlusion effect, a common issue in which wearers' own voice and internal sounds seem louder when using traditional earplugs, and has been supported by U.S. Department of Defense SBIR/STTR awards, including Phase I and II funding from the Air Force for continued development and testing of its aerogel-based hearing protection devices.
