Devices, systems and methods for auricular acupuncture
The present application relates to devices, systems and methods for auricular acupuncture. The devices suitably include an ear retention device that substantially contacts a patient's auricular surface, so as to allow sufficient energy from an optical or electric source to stimulate auricular acupuncture sites. The devices and systems are useful in various methods of treatment of patient conditions and presenting symptoms.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE
The present application relates to devices, systems and methods for auricular acupuncture.

The devices and systems are useful in various methods of treatment of patient conditions and presenting symptoms.
Techniques For Providing Stimulus For Tinnitus Therapy
A system includes an acoustic stimulator configured to provide an acoustic signal to an car of a recipient. The system also includes a measurement sensor configured to measure electrical potentials from the car of the recipient that are generated in response to the acoustic signal. The system further includes a tinnitus treatment stimulator configured to generate a stimulus to the car of the recipient based on the electrical potentials measured by the measurement sensor to provide tinnitus therapy to the recipient.
Systems and methods for treating neurological disorders
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for treating medical conditions such as neurological disorders. A user device can be used to communicate with a user and can be used to control a treatment device. The treatment device can be an ear pressure treatment device. The system can execute treatment parameter profiles, and selection of the treatment parameter profiles can depend, at least in part, on feedback provided by the user, such as via the user device. One, two, or more nerves associated with target anatomical locations (e.g., one or both ears) can be stimulated. Some embodiments involve combination therapy including stimulating one or more nerves associated with at least one ear with a first stimulus modality, and a second stimulus modality that is the same as, or different from the first stimulus modality.
