ENERGY TRANSMITTING DEVICE AND SYSTEM TO MONITOR AND TREAT TINNITUS
Disclosed is an energy transmitting device for use in a system to monitor and treat tinnitus, comprising: a first unit that produces energy for treating said tinnitus; and a second unit that is arranged to secure and fasten said first unit against a skin of said patient, wherein, when in operation, said first unit produces said energy based on a suggested treatment for transmission to said patient through bone conductivity for treating said tinnitus.
Method and apparatus for characterizing tinnitus using Bayesian minimum-entropy psychometric procedure
A system for measuring tinnitus of a patient using a Bayesian minimum-entropy psychometric procedure for which a probabilistic model of the patient's behavior is combined with an optimal statistical-inference method to generate a test sound to be presented to the patient. The test sound includes a sequence of sound components selected and arranged to facilitate, expedite, and improve the reliability of tinnitus measurements.
Digital tinnitus treatment electronic headset system and method for operation of same
The present invention relates to an electronic headset system which is preferably wirelessly controlled, and is used to treat a tinnitus disorder. The system in an electronic headset and preferably an electronic communication device, such as a smartphone, laptop, tablet, desk top computer, server, and the like or any combination thereof. The electronic headset includes a treatment probe and emits complex signals which are converted into vibrations by the treatment probe and are transmitted to a users cochlea via the treatment probe communicating with the user's mastoid bone when the electronic headset is worn, thereby alleviating the symptoms of the user's tinnitus disorder.
Apparatus and methods for assessing the effect of light on a subject's perception of tinnitus
A method of assessing the effect of viewing varying colours of light on a subject's perception of tinnitus, comprising the steps of: presenting a display in at least part of the subject's field of view; illuminating the display with coloured light in the visible spectrum using one or more variable sources, varying measurable values of the coloured light illuminating the display; and recording the measurable values of the coloured light illuminating the display at which the subject indicates a change in their perception of tinnitus. Also provided are methods of determining which tristimulus values of light can be used to alleviate a subject's perception of tinnitus, methods of producing data sets of measurable values of coloured light, use of coloured light, articles formulated to modify illumination of at least part of the visual field of a subject, a method of alleviating a subject's perception of tinnitus and use of apparatus for assessing the effect of viewing varying colours of light on a subject's perception of tinnitus.
Method for operating an apparatus for tinnitus characterization and corresponding apparatus
A method operates an apparatus for tinnitus characterization, in which, in a first step, a broadband test signal having a number of signal frequencies is generated and compared with a tinnitus noise. The respective test signal is stored with an associated comparison result. A probability correlation for determining the tinnitus noise is established based on the stored test signals and comparison results. In a second step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied. The first and second steps are performed repeatedly until the probability correlation reaches or exceeds a first threshold value. In a third step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied with reference to the probability correlation.
AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) BASED METHOD FOR PROVIDING BRAIN INFORMATION
The present invention relates to an AI (Artificial Intelligence) based method for providing brain information comprising: a step 1 in which a brain signal obtaining portion of a brain signal measuring portion irradiates near-infrared ray to user's brain and detects light penetrating a cerebral cortex of the brain; a step 2 in which a brain signal processing portion of the brain signal measuring portion determines a level of oxygenation of hemoglobin in blood flow of the user's brain on the basis of the detected light; a step 3 in which a brain signal analyzing portion of the brain signal measuring portion extracts at least one brain activation area from a plurality of activated areas of the user's brain on the basis of the determined level of oxygenation of hemoglobin; and a step 4 in which a diagnosing portion determines a state of the user's brain on the basis of the at least one brain activation area extracted successively for a predetermined period of time, wherein a signal collecting operation of the brain signal obtaining portion in the step 1 is performed in a state that the user is moving.
DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AN AUDIO SIGNAL
The present idea refers to a device for providing an audio signal for suppressing or decreasing a user's tinnitus. The device comprises an identification unit for supporting a determination of at least one parameter regarding the user's tinnitus, an adaptation unit configured to modify a received audio signal based on the at least one parameter, thereby obtaining the audio signal, or to generate the audio signal based on the at least one parameter, wherein a defined frequency spectrum of the audio signal is based on a tinnitus suppression frequency, and an audio output unit configured to play the audio signal to the user.
