    摘要: A system and method of coupling acoustic and electrical stimulation of noninvasive neuromodulation is a therapeutic system and method preferably designed for the diagnosis and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and neurological disorders including, but not limited to, tinnitus, hyperacusis, sleep disorder, depression, anxiety, dizziness, migraine, or ear suffocation. The system includes acoustic signal devices for deep brain electrical stimulation and electrical pulse devices for shallow brain electrical stimulation. Further, the system includes a signal-coupling module that includes an algorithm for coupling acoustic signals to electrical pulses. Parameters of each the acoustic signals and the electrical pulses are adjusted in order for the acoustic signals to be coupled to the electrical pulses. These parameters can also be adjusted based on patient feedback. Furthermore, the system can synchronously output the coupled acoustic signals and the coupled electrical pulses, asynchronously output the acoustic signals, or the electrical pulses based on patient feedback.

    摘要: An implantable lead includes a lead body, having a distal end and a proximal end, configured to be implanted in a patient. An electrode assembly is provided at the distal end of the lead body, wherein the electrode assembly includes an electrode that is configured to deliver stimulating pulses. The electrode extends between a base and a tip at a distal end of the electrode. A shielding member is provided on the electrode assembly and is positioned to cover at least a portion of the electrode to electrically shield the electrode from RF fields. Optionally, the shielding member may include a shielding conductor that wraps about and extends longitudinally along a length of the electrode from the base to the tip. The shielding conductor may extend from the proximal end of the lead body at least to the distal end of the lead body.

    摘要: A hearing aid with adjustable ear mount is an apparatus which assists users in hearing sounds that they are otherwise unable to hear. The hearing aid with adjustable ear mount includes a hearing aid control unit which detects sound, and sends a digital representation of the sound to a speaker through at least one electrical wire. At least one pliable wire is also connected between the hearing aid control unit and the speaker and can be shaped to properly fit around ears of various shapes and sizes. A flexible tube covers the at least one electrical wire and the at least one pliable wire for protection and added comfort. An earpiece is connected to the speaker and helps to secure the speaker in a position that directs sound into the user's ear canal. The earpiece is designed to fit ears of various shapes and sizes.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an implantable medical lead. In one embodiment, the lead includes a ring electrode, a tip electrode, first and second helically wound coaxial conductor coils, and a distal coil transition. The coils extend between the proximal and distal ends of the lead. The distal coil transition is proximal to the ring electrode and near the distal end and is where the first coil transitions from being outside the second coil proximal of the distal coil transition to being inside the second coil distal of the distal coil transition.

    摘要: The disclosure relates in some aspects to an implantable pressure sensor and a method of measuring pressure. In some embodiments pressure may be measured through the use of an implantable lead incorporating one or more pressure sensors. In some aspects a pressure sensor is implemented in a micro-electromechanical system (“MEMS”) that employs direct mechanical sensing. A biocompatible material is attached to one or more portions of the MEMS sensor to facilitate implant in a body of a patient. The MEMS sensor may thus be incorporated into an implantable lead for measuring blood pressure in, for example, one or more chambers of the patient's heart.
