DEVICE FOR SPEECH THERAPY, ADMINISTRATION OF INHALATION MEDICATION AND FOR TREATMENT OF OTITIS, SINUSITIS AND BAROTRAUMA

摘要

A device combining a treatment of ear and sinus conditions along with speech therapy and administration of medication is disclosed. The device comprises a patient facemask, adapted to cover mouth and nose of a patient, and a visual and/or audio feedback mechanism connected to the facemask and adapted to provide feedback through internal air pressure in a device's compartment. The device's compartment is adapted to be in fluid communication with the patient mouth and nose during its operation. The device may comprise a supervisor facemask. Expiration into the facemask(s) increases air pressure. An increase in air pressure within the device activates the feedback mechanism and will lead to effective middle ear and sinus ventilation. The feedback mechanism may also be used in speech therapy for feedback to the patient. Drugs may be administered into the system for treatment of airway disease of for the purpose or general anaesthesia.
