Abstract
An apparatus directs a magnetic field to an inner ear of a user to improve blood flow and oxygen levels for treatment of one or all of tinnitus, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and vertigo. The apparatus includes an outer shell having an outer profile that is custom-molded to fit one or more portions of an ear of the user. Magnetic material disposed within the outer shell. A sound tube is disposed within the outer shell and passes through the magnetic material. The sound tube has an outer opening that receives sound from outside the ear of the user and an inner opening through which the sound passes into an ear canal of the user. The magnetic material is configured to direct a negative magnetic field to the inner ear of the user when the outer shell is disposed within a portion of the user's ear.
