ABSTRACT:
A portable apparatus for immediate self-treatment of sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and aural fullness includes a probe for establishing a hermetic seal with the ear canal and a pump for establishing a positive or negative pressure in the ear canal via a hose connected to the probe. The portable apparatus further includes special controls accessible only to a physician or audiologist for establishing the maximum pump pressure and duration of operation optimal for the individual patient. The portable apparatus also includes controls accessible to the patient for initiating pump operation and varying the pump pressure and duration of operation within the limits established by the special controls. The apparatus includes its own independent power supply and may be conveniently carried anywhere by the patient so that it is with him at all times. Whenever the patient senses the onset of symptoms associated with sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus or aural fullness, he merely inserts the probe into the afflicted ear and, using the controls, activates the pump.
