ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device to give the controlled application of heat to the live human ear and its structures thereof for the treatment of pain and congestion due to injury, inflammation, or infection. The lamp consists of an adjustable handle (10) attached to a mounting base (20) that holds a ceramic light bulb socket (36) which can hold approximately a 15 to 25 watt incandescent appliance light bulb as the heat source. The heat produced by the light bulb is controlled and directed to the point of application by a lamp housing (16) with an open end for placing over the ear. The lamp housing also has as a part of its structure an adjustable vent ring (24) with vent holes (26) and an upper limit sealed thermostat (32). The adjustable venting system along with the thermostat create a combination that allows for a simple, accurate, safe, and economical way of adding a new dimension for using light and heat in assisting in the treatment of earaches and ear infections, making it a mother's best friend. Also can be used in other applications where heat without undue pressure can be used to manage specific, but localized, inflammatory conditions.
