PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aerosol therapy device which can determine the closure of the velum of a user in a simple method. SOLUTION: This aerosol therapy device comprises: a nebulizer 10 for generating aerosol and forming an aerosol flow; a first nosepiece 11 for introducing the aerosol flow into one of the two nostrils 12 of a user; a pressure fluctuation source for generating pressure fluctuation (DS); a second nosepiece 14 for introducing the pressure fluctuation into the other of the two nostrils 15 of the user in order to superimpose the pressure fluctuation and the aerosol flow; a sensor system including a first pressure sensor 19 for detecting the signal of the pressure fluctuation that has reached the first nosepiece 11; and an evaluation means 18 for determining the degree of closure of the velum of the user based on the signal.
