Abstract: A pouch containing liquid with a therapeutic effect may include a main body and liquid. The main body is made by soft materials and having a receiving space used to receive the liquid. A carrier is used to dispose on a human body and includes a receiving section to receive the pouch. In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid is water that has been processed and the therapeutic effect results from an energy dispersed by the resonance of the water molecules at a predetermined frequency.

Abstract: An ear canal pressurization device optimized for aural acoustic immittance testing is disclosed. Changes in volume of a first flexible chamber, due to motor movement, produce changes in ear canal pressure based on Boyle's law. A vent may be opened to allow ear canal pressure to gently equalize to ambient air pressure or to generate ear canal pressure sweeps free of pressure baseline offset. The vent may be closed to set a static ear canal pressure or to generate ear canal pressure sweeps with an incidental baseline offset. The vent may be controlled to generate ear canal pressure sweeps with an intended baseline offset. The device produces ear canal pressure proportional to drive voltage, so any desired pressure versus time function can be generated by applying a coil driving voltage with the appropriate amplitude versus time function.

Abstract: The invention refers to a feeder for dosing air in small quantities or pressure pulses to the external auditory meatus of a person with vertigo e.g. Ménière's disease. The feeder includes a pump body (10) with a through hole (12), one end (14) of which is connectable to an ear adapter by a flexible tube and the other end (15) of which is provided with an air pump device (16). The pump body (10) of the air pump device (16) has a manually impressionable, temporarily adjustable volume in providing a quantity of air with a pulsating overpressure of a repeatable and adjustable size.

Abstract: A system for treating brain function including a signal generator and an ear cuff. Various modalities of treatment are possible including approaches for enhancing learning, and stimulating alertness and clearing emotions.

Abstract: A transportable apparatus for treating Ménière's disease comprises electronically controlled pressure variation unit housed in an inner casing which is partially enclosed by an outer casing provided with an opening covered by a removable cover. A storage compartment is disposed between the casings to receive a flexible tube provided with an ear plug. The flexible tube is connected to the pressure variation unit. The storage compartment surrounds a first portion of the inner casing in which the flexible tube can be disposed in a coiled manner.

Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of Ménière's disease by intermittently increasing air (gas) pressure, in an air (gas) pressure chamber in communication with an outwardly sealed external ear volume bordering the tympanic membrane, comprises a peripherally fixed flexible circular diaphragm forming a wall of the chamber and being displaceable in a perpendicular direction essentially without being tensioned. Displacement of the diaphragm away from the chamber is effected by air pressure built up in the chamber, not by a separate displacement device. The apparatus further comprises a linear electromagnetic device for displacing the diaphragm. The apparatus may include systems for gas pressure sensing; chamber pressure equalizing; and microprocessor control, for controlling the displacement of the diaphragm and the pressure equalizing device by a signal input from the pressure sensing device.

Abstract: A device for affecting the hydrodynamic system of the internal ear, said system including the perilymph and the endolymph. A first apparatus generates a desired static-pressure level. A second apparatus varies the static-pressure level. A third connector between the first and second devices affects the static pressure level upon predetermined pressure changes in accordance with a predetermined program controlled by a control unit. The first device includes a medium pump for generating the desired static-pressure level in a medium reservoir. The second device includes a unit for causing movements of a membrane which is connected to the reservoir. These movements are arranged to cause variations of the static-pressure level. The membrane has a predetermined area, and the unit is arranged to affect the membrane by a force of a certain magnitude to generate the pressure changes.
