Apparatus and methods for treating symptoms of disease and conditions of the ear

摘要

A pressure waveform is generated and applied to a middle ear space of a human ear to treat symptoms of Meniere's disease or endolymphatic hydrops. The waveform includes a varying pressure waveform combined with a static pressure and has a variable first derivative that can be approximated by a plurality of sinusoidal waves combined as in a Fourier series.
