Abstract: An illustrative method includes: determining a preliminary estimate of the patient's tinnitus tone by allowing the patient to listen to and vary frequency and intensity of a first test tone within a predetermined first frequency range and a predetermined first intensity range to approximate the first test tone to the patient's tinnitus tone; defining a second frequency range and a second intensity range around the preliminary estimate of the patient's tinnitus tone; and determining a final estimate of the patient's tinnitus tone by allowing the patient to listen to and vary frequency and intensity of a second test tone within the second frequency range and the second intensity range to approximate the second test tone to the patient's tinnitus tone.

Abstract: A self-configuring, closed-loop universal tinnitus management system (UTMS) is disclosed, comprising a mobile-implemented patient component, a server, an automated system configuration component, and optionally, a control component for clinician access. The system collects tinnitus-related data through interactive diagnostic modules, categorizes the patient using a multi-stage algorithm, and assigns a corresponding tinnitus-therapy profile. The system automatically configures therapy profile, enables periodic re-categorization, and optionally allows patient-specific adjustments within permitted boundaries.

Abstract: A portable loose-leaf material vaporizer 1 comprises a heating chamber 20 for housing loose leaf material and vaporizing one or more active agents from the loose-leaf material, a mouthpiece 3 for withdrawal of the one or more active agents vaporized from the loose-leaf material, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to control temperature of the heating chamber 20 and to estimate a dosage of the one or more active agents withdrawn from the vaporizer 1 based on a mathematical model. The mathematical model relates vapor generating time and loose-leaf material properties, and optionally temperature of the heating chamber 20, to the dosage of the one or more active agents withdrawn or to be withdrawn from the vaporizer 1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an universal tinnitus management system (UTMS) for diagnosis and/or treatment of subjective Tinnitus, or for support of a health care professional (HCP) in the diagnosis and/or treatment of subjective tinnitus. The present invention further relates to the use of the UTMS for diagnosis and/or treatment of subjective tinnitus, or for supporting an HCP in the diagnosis and/or treatment of subjective tinnitus, a method of diagnosing and/or providing a therapy proposal for treating a subject having subjective tinnitus by means of the UTMS as well as a method of determining compliance with a therapy proposal and/or therapy progress by means of the UTMS.
