Abstract
Disclosed is a device for the punctual stimulation of the nerve endings located in the region of the ears The device has a battery-powered therapeutic current generator () arranged in a housing () which is to be worn in the region of the ear. The generator supplies a low frequency therapeutic current and has a plurality of output channels (). Each output channel is associated with its own stimulation electrode (), and contains an amplifier (), controlled by a digital-analog converter () and designed for bipolar output signals. A control signal may be fed to the amplifiers causing current strength and stimulation voltage behavior in the output circuit of the respective amplifier. The behavior adapts to the resistance value in said circuit and corresponds to I=k−R U=k−R, in which k is a selectable constant. In addition, three output channels are preferably provided, each associated with its own stimulation electrode, and during the periods of current flow, the therapeutic current fed to each stimulation electrode is compensated each time with regard to the intensity and polarity by the therapeutic currents being fed to the other stimulation electrodes.
