Apparatus for relieving psychological stress

摘要

An apparatus for treating stress has a support shaped to fit on the head and constructed to shield the ears from external noise, a display carried on the support and positionable in front of the wearer's eyes, sound transducers in the support positioned to be juxtaposed with the wearer's ears, and a recorder and amplifier for activating the transducers and display with stress-reducing sounds and images. A visor forming the display is pivoted on the support so it can be moved out of the wearer's line of sight. The display itself can be a television-type screen, a multiplicity of light-emitting diodes, or a transparency or slide-type projection arrangement. The support can be a head-encasing helmet of the type worn in football or could be a pair of ear-covering stereophonic headphones carrying a visor provided with the display.
