Publication number: 20210330507Abstract: A prosthesis for insertion in an ear to reduce pain resulting from TMJ disorders. The ear insert has a predefined shape conforming to the shape of the ear canal when the jaw is in an open position. The ear insert supports the TMJ and associated secondary musculature to reduce strain in the TMJ area, including the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and the temporo-mandibular joint itself. The insert is hollow in the inside to permit hearing and is made of a rigid material which retains the shape of the ear canal. A scalloped indenture extends across a surface of the ear insert positioned behind the tragus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2018Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: Renew Group Private LimitedInventor: Lawrence G. Clayton

Publication number: 20190269501Abstract: An expansible ear canal insert for treating TMJ disorders and headaches which acts directly on the TMJ and associated ligament and muscle structures to reduce stress and loads placed on the articulator disc located between the temporal bone and the mandible, as well as supportive muscles and ligaments near the TMJ. The insert is adapted to expand by application of body heat. In the expanded condition, the insert provides support to the TMJ and associated ligament and muscle structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2019Publication date: September 5, 2019Inventors: William Coole, Lawrence G.

Publication number: 20110130786Abstract: Methods for treating a headache of an individual with a pair of prosthetic intra-aural devices are provided. The methods includes inserting one of the intra-aural devices into each ear canal of the person. Later, the person may remove the intra-aural device from each ear canal. Each of the intra aural devices has a predefined shape substantially conforming to each ear canal, and is hollow in its interior to permit hearing, yet rigid enough to maintain its shape once inserted into the ear canal. The intra-aural device may be inserted at the onset of or prior to the symptoms of a headache, and may remain inserted until the headache lessens in severity, subsides or at any other time period. For migraine or other chronic headaches, the intra-aural devices may be worn to reduce at least one of the frequency, severity, and/or duration of the migraine headaches.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2009Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: Ascentia Health, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence G.
