Abstract: Described and disclosed herein are various embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to deliver a two-dimensional acoustic coordinated reset neuromodulation therapy to a patient's auditory cortex. A novel auditory stimulation regime is employed, where suitably configured therapeutic signals that take into account the patient's tinnitus frequency and periodicity are employed to excite areas surrounding the center of tinnitus excitation in the patient's auditory cortex.

Abstract: A wall installation connection box unit, including a box housing body having a rear-side base portion and a sleeve portion projecting forward from the base portion, and a connector body disposed on the base portion. The sleeve portion peripherally surrounds an installation component mounting space, which space is accessible via an open front end face of the sleeve portion. The connector body includes an installation component connection contour facing the installation component mounting space and a conduit connection interface structure accessible on an outer side of the box housing body. Illustratively, the sleeve portion and the base portion of the box housing body are integrally formed from a synthetic foamed material, and the connector body is embedded in the synthetic foamed material of the base portion, wherein the conduit connection interface structure and the installation component connection contour are exposed.

Abstract: A housing for a medical implant that includes a housing wall made of an electrically insulating material with an inner face and an outer face and an electrical transmission through the housing wall. The electrical transmission includes an electrically conductive first terminal contact surface disposed on the inner face of the housing wall, an electrically conductive second terminal contact surface disposed on the outer face of the housing wall, a capacitor integrated into the housing wall and that includes a first capacitor electrode and a second capacitor electrode, a first connection line that electrically connects the first terminal contact surface to the first capacitor electrode, and a second connection line that electrically connects the second terminal contact surface to the second capacitor electrode. No continuously electrically conductive connection exists between the first terminal contact surface and the second terminal contact surface.
