Otonomy is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel drug therapies for disorders of the inner and middle ear. This field represents a large opportunity as there are no approved drug treatments for the nearly 30 million Americans facing debilitating hearing and balance disorders such as Ménière’s disease, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, age-related hearing impairment, and tinnitus. Additionally, new therapies are required for otitis media since resistance to oral antibiotics is increasing and short-acting locally administered drugs present significant compliance challenges. Otonomy is working in partnership with leading experts in the field of otology to bring new drug therapies to patients suffering with these conditions.
