ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a device, system and method for placing a treatment component on a patient's head. The inventive device includes an attachment frame that attaches the treatment component to the patient's head. The attachment frame also includes a window. A receiving mechanism holds the treatment component to the attachment frame, and an alignment structure permits the treatment component to be positioned at a desired location on the patient's head. The inventive device also may include an isolator component capable of reducing sound to the patient's ears and/or reducing vibration of the attachment frame. The inventive may also include an electrical connector to send and receive data based on the treatment, and an adjustment structure that is capable of adjusting the device to each patient.
