TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATING APPARATUS FOR TINNITUS TREATMENT USING NOTCHED MUSIC

摘要

An apparatus and a method for percutaneous electrical stimulation for treating tinnitus using notch music are disclosed. The silicone material is coated with a conductive material on the outer surface of the silicone material according to the shape of the ear according to the patient's ear so that the ear can be worn on the patient's ear. A frame to which a receiver is attached; An external ear transcutaneous electrical stimulation module connected to the conductive material coated on the frame by electric wires and applying the transdermal electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve branch where the conductive substance is distributed in the external auditory canal; And a notch music output module connected to the receiver attached to the center of the frame through a wire and outputting notched music composed of an audible frequency band in which the patient's tinnitus frequency band is removed. According to the above-described configuration, vagus nerve stimulation is induced notch music to stimulate neurons in the vicinity of the cognitive tremor band of the cerebral auditory cortex using notch music of the frequency band from which the tinnitus frequency band is removed, Lateral inhibition of neuronal cells in the marginal zone allows for neuromodulatory treatment, thus alleviating and treating tinnitus.;
