A method for external ear canal pressure regulation to alleviate one or more symptoms associated with a disorder or treat one or more disorders, the method including providing a fluid transfer device which generates a fluid flow of a fluid through an earplug, the earplug having an earplug external surface configured to sealably engage an external ear canal wall as a barrier between an external ear canal pressure and an ambient pressure; sealably engaging the earplug of the fluid transfer device with the external ear canal wall as the barrier between the external ear canal pressure and the ambient pressure; and operating the fluid transfer device to generate the fluid flow of the fluid through the earplug to achieve an external ear canal pressure differential between the external ear canal pressure and the ambient pressure effective to alleviate a disorder symptom or treat a disorder.

Systems, apparatus and methods related to improved otorhinologic irrigation and lavage comprising a drainage collector and one or more otorhinologic adapters, which are capable of coupling to an irrigation-liquid container.

A rechargeable therapeutic system for treating conditions of a user's nasal cavities, sinuses or ear canals includes a therapeutic device having a housing that includes an inlet that allows air to enter the therapeutic device. An acoustic vibrator located within the housing provides an acoustic vibration to the user, and a power supply located within the housing provides power to the acoustic vibrator. A mask is connected to the housing and configured to be applied around the nose of the user. A valve of the mask is configured to allow the user to breathe through the inlet. The mask further includes a diaphragm and a nasal cavity in which the user's nose is located when the mask is applied around the nose of the user. A recharging station is configured to provide a charging current to the power supply.

The invention concerns a portable device for transmitting electromagnetic waves. It is capable, when arranged at a surface, of transmitting waves having a power flux density of at least 0.5 milliwatts per square centimeter of surface area and a frequency value of between 3 and 120 gigahertz. The device is, moreover, capable of simultaneously exposing at least 2.5 square centimeters of the surface to the waves.

A portable environment sensing device is described which comprises at least one time-of-flight sensor capable of detecting the distances from the time-of-flight sensor to at least two features within the field of view of the time-of-flight sensor simultaneously. The portable environment sensing device further comprises a processing unit capable of converting the at least two measured distances into at least two different distance signals, where each distance signal is correlated with the corresponding measured distance, and an output interface providing the at least two distance signals to a user simultaneously.

The present invention is a method and device for inducing or promoting a meditative state.

Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for treating neurological conditions such as attention deficit disorder, autism, and Parkinson's disease. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and apparatus used to stimulate the 8.sup.th cranial nerve, particularly for treatment of such diseases and disorders.

A manual ear pump including one or more of a support element configured to releasably engage an external ear canal and having an interior chamber, a resilient element capable of being resiliently deformed coupled to a support element, and an aperture disposed on a support element bottom surface communicating with the external ear canal and interior chamber.

The present invention relates to a system and method for distributed sensory stimulation, the system comprising a control unit (10) for receiving an electrical audio signal and for distributing said signal into a plurality of sensory signals, and a plurality of actuators (20L, 20R, 21L, 21R, 22L, 22R, 23L, 23R, 24L, 24R) connected to said control unit (10) and configured to receive the sensory signals, acting by providing sensory stimulation in specific regions of a user's body, wherein the regions of the user's body comprise three regions involved in human perception ranging from the ears, the lower limbs and back and the lower back and gluteus; the actuators comprise eight vibration actuators and two auditory actuators producing said sensory stimulation in the three regions of the user; and the control unit (10) performs delivery considering the vibrational capturing capacity of each of said three regions depending on the volume and structural density thereof.

Systems and related methods for enhancing learning of an activity by a subject are described. A prompt for causing the subject to perform the activity is delivered repeatedly, in combination with a neural stimulus, with timing of delivery of prompts and neural stimuli controlled by electrical control circuitry. Neural stimuli are delivered with a transcutaneous neural stimulator located fitted in or on at least a portion of an ear of the subject. The system is implemented in connection with a personal computing device such as a smart phone or tablet computer.
