In 1996, Otologics LLC was founded in Boulder, Colorado by Jose Bedoya.
Otologics LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2012 and is currently negotiating with a possible buyer and seeking DIP financing. http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/blog/BizNext/2012/07/otologics-files-for-bankruptcy.html
