![]() ![]() To summarize, the patent discusses methods and systems for transformation between auditory sounds and digital presentation of sounds, manipulating the sound and then sending them back to the brain. Sounds coming to the ear can be merged or replaced by external sources like a smart phone or a microphone. All this can then be heard as regular sound coming to the ear. For example, this can include changing the background sounds, the pitch or adding an external sound. The manipulated data is then sent back to the brain. The sound can then be manipulated and external sounds can be merged into it or replace it altogether. The technology that the patent (11641555) depicts is converting ear nerve protocol into computer format/protocol. For example, background noise can be reduced, a conversation from a group of people talking can be listened into etc.” This patent (11641555), is the newcomer to the "club" of patents that he has worked on, the first of which is patent 11395620, the “Eye” patent, which allows for manipulated images to be seen via regular vision, meaning funny goggles are no longer required.Īccording to Ofer, “The new auditory patent will enable us to manipulate the sounds coming to the ear without a hearing aid. Management depends on how the tinnitus affects the patient's quality of life.RAMAT HASHARON, ISRAEL, June 12, 2023/ / - Aktevy Inc., a New York based company, was incorporated with the purpose of finding and bringing novel and innovative products in a wide variety of areas based on software to the market at large.Īktevy’s CEO, Ofer, has recently received approval for his patent that allows for sounds coming to the ear to be manipulated without use of a hearing aid. Hyperlipidemia, thyroid disorder, vitamin B 12 deficiency, anemia Tinnitus of patulous eustachian tube is alleviated by lying down with head in dependent position. ![]() Noise-induced or medication-induced hearing loss Low-pitched rumbling pattern suggests Meniere's disease, high-pitched pattern suggests sensorineural hearing loss.Īssociated vertigo, aural fullness, hearing loss Pulsatile tinnitus suggests a vascular origin.Ĭharacteristics (i.e., pitch, complexity) Episodic tinnitus suggests Meniere's disease. Tinnitus associated with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss is the hallmark of acoustic neuroma.Ĭontinuous tinnitus accompanies hearing loss. Unilateral tinnitus can be caused by cerumen impaction, otitis externa, and otitis media. Precipitous onset can be linked to excessive or loud noise exposure or head trauma. Progressive hearing loss with tinnitus and advancing age suggests presbycusis. In patients who are discomforted by tinnitus and have no remediable cause, auditory masking may provide some relief. Unilateral or pulsatile tinnitus may be caused by more serious pathology and typically merits specialized audiometric testing and radiologic studies. Initial evaluation of tinnitus should include a thorough history, head and neck examination, and audiometric testing to identify an underlying etiology. Objective tinnitus usually is caused by vascular abnormalities of the carotid artery or jugular venous systems. Subjective tinnitus also may be caused by neurologic, metabolic, or psychogenic disorders. Unilateral hearing loss plus tinnitus should increase suspicion for acoustic neuroma. Sensorineural hearing loss may be caused by exposure to excessive loud noise, presbycusis, ototoxic medications, or Meniere's disease. Common causes of conductive hearing loss include external ear infection, cerumen impaction, and middle ear effusion. Otologic problems, especially hearing loss, are the most common causes of subjective tinnitus. ![]() ![]() Most cases of tinnitus are subjective, but occasionally the tinnitus can be heard by an examiner. Tinnitus is a common disorder with many possible causes. ![]()
