Description

The useful model belongs, in particular, to restorative medicine, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, speech therapy and speech therapy practice and can be used, for example, in speech therapy and speech therapy practice to stimulate various damaged areas of the brain in case of damage to the nervous system in order to treat and correct disorders of hearing, speech, motor functions and others; in linguistic practice to stimulate the language areas of the cerebral cortex with a foreign language, as a result of which the brain begins to perceive a foreign language as native, which improves the study of a foreign language at any age, the process is effortless and automatic.

The Complex for the development of basic auditory perception skills in people with hearing impairment is known (patent of the Russian Federation Mo 82419 dated 04/27/2009). This complex contains a set of equipment: computer, monitor, keyboard, manipulator-mouse, acoustic speakers.

The complex also includes special software and separate functional blocks that provide the ability to choose the training mode (training or testing), training directions, signal conditions (sequential with pause, free start) and receive reports of various levels of complexity from express assessment to a complete exercise protocol for monitoring the training procedure and correcting the patient's individual exercise program.

The complex allows you to present audio and video signals to patients, register the results of classes and compare the obtained results with a given value in terms of the percentage of correct auditory recognitions. However, the Complex for the development of basic auditory perception skills in people with hearing impairment has a limited range of actions, there is no possibility of stimulating the affected area of the cerebral cortex with high-frequency sound, and the equipment itself is bulky and inconvenient, which, together with a slight improvement in hearing, makes its work ineffective.

It is known that the closest in terms of technical essence and the result that can be achieved is the earphone with a bone vibrator Webzop MVST-09 ((pyr/Lymly.teipode-iotaiyiv.sot/ipayeh.ryr/porgodiyv/sagedogu/sazdie5), which is intended for transmission by bone and air conduction of high-frequency sound used in therapy using the "Tomatis method" together with the "Electronic ear" device.

The organ of hearing is excited by sound vibrations and energizes the brain, and through it the whole body. The inner ear of an adult retains the ability to regenerate throughout life, and the auditory centers of the cerebral hemispheres can restore lost functions

When brain cells are stimulated by electrical impulses coming along nerve fibers from the cochlea of the inner ear. That is, high-frequency sound is capable of restoring the brain, and the voice and hearing apparatus are inextricably linked.

On the basis of this discovery, an earpiece with a bone vibrator designed to work with the "Electronic Ear" was created. Normal sounds are combined with 3 low- and high-frequency signals.

Such a set of sounds trains the middle ear and directly affects the cerebral cortex, especially the centers of speech, attention, emotions, motility and the vestibular apparatus.

Through the headphones, which contain in the central part a built-in bone vibrator that transmits a signal through the bones of the skull, the ear receives sound stimulation with the help of "Electronic Ear" by air and bone sound conduction. The sound enters the ear through air waves from the headphones on the right and left ears. The vibration of the tympanic cavity causes resonance in the cochlea in the inner ear, which stimulates sensory cells. When the cells are activated, the sound signal is transmitted through the auditory nerve to the brain. At the same time, the sound is transmitted through a bone vibrator located on the top of the headphones and in contact with the skull. Sound is transmitted directly to the middle ear without passing through the ear cavity.

As musical support, music with a wide frequency range is used, mainly Mozart's concerts, which are processed by the "Electronic Ear" device, which stimulates high-frequency sounds that directly affect the affected areas of the brain through headphones.

However, the use of these headphones is effective only with the "Electronic Ear" device, which makes the therapy inconvenient, since the equipment limits the possibility of using the therapy, due to size, weight and bulkiness. It is possible to use this device only in special institutions, due to the considerable complexity of use, high labor intensity of production, and quite expensive equipment is required for work. Therefore, the Vev5op earpiece with a bone vibrator

MVST-09 has limited functionality.

Due to the use of only one bone vibrator, as well as due to its location on the top of the head, where the brain centers that need to be stimulated are not directly present, when using it, it is impossible to take into account all the developmental abnormalities that need to be worked out, since it is impossible to directly affect the affected areas, which leads to insufficient effectiveness of clinical use.

The useful model is based on the task of creating a universal headphone for conducting high-frequency therapy that can be used with affordable and easy-to-use equipment, namely with ordinary personal PCs and laptops, which will significantly reduce the cost of therapy and allow it to be carried out in any convenient place and any time. This device should, with the help of sound, achieve non-medicinal external stimulation directly of the language areas of the human brain (Broca's area and Wernicke's area) to stimulate and improve mental and verbal ability, and on the centers of attention, emotions, motility and vestibular apparatus, which will significantly improve the results of therapy in a short period of time time

The relevance of this problem is due to the large number of children of children suffering from: hearing problems ranging from congenital and traumatic deafness; speech disorders; attention deficit disorder (ADD); autism, as well as motor function disorders. This device can help fight depression in adults, learn foreign languages faster, overcome difficulties in communication, increase creative potential and work capacity.

The organ of hearing is an internal generator that, thanks to sound vibrations, charges the brain with energy, and through it the whole body. Sound, the signal is transmitted to the patient in two ways: bone conduction (vibration through different areas of the skull) and air conduction (sound waves enter through the outer ear).

High-frequency activates the activity of the inner ear, stimulating not only auditory but also motor functions. The sound is transmitted to the tympanic membrane, then, by means of bone conduction, the muscles of the hammer and stirrup are stimulated. Sound vibrations cause vibrations that activate the movement of the vestibular membrane and the cochlea. The sound vibration is converted into an electrical impulse. The reticular formation of the brain receives an electrical impulse, that is, the cochlea and the vestibular membrane take an active part in the creation of nerve impulses that stimulate the human brain, that is, the "recharging of the cerebral cortex" takes place.

Transmitting signals to the brain, the vestibular membrane catches the slightest movement of the body, thereby affecting the balance and sense of rhythm of a person.

The vestibular membrane transmits signals to the brain even with the slightest body movements, therefore it directly affects the sense of rhythm and balance. That is why the signal must be harmonious and correct. This means that the stimulation of the hearing aid must be effective.

This method helps millions of people, which is why devices for using high-frequency therapy are always being improved, and this problem is quite relevant nowadays.

The task is solved by the fact that headphones for conducting high-frequency therapy are used with personal computers and laptops, so the program for conducting therapy works much faster and more productively, and therapy can be conducted in any convenient place. As a bone vibrator, two full-fledged bone speakers are used, transmitting the entire spectrum of frequencies. The bone drivers are located above the regular earcups, with the possibility of movement on the skull, which allows you to directly stimulate the desired areas of the brain.

Conventional speakers have sealed ear cups to prevent ambient sounds from entering, and sounds from bone speakers traveling through the air. They do not let in external noise and provide maximum sound insulation, which allows you to use them in noisy environments, as well as in those cases when you need to fully concentrate on listening.

To ensure the maximum quality of communication, the headphones are connected to the source by a wire, because when using wireless headphones, up to 30-95% of the effectiveness of therapy is lost, and the speakers themselves, both conventional and bone, are made with the possibility of transmitting a stereo signal to increase the effectiveness of high-frequency therapy.

Next, the essence of the useful model is explained by a detailed description of the design and operation of headphones for conducting high-frequency therapy with references to drawings, where on:

High-frequency therapy headphones include an adjustable headband with a vertical arch 1 to echo the top of the user's head, right 2 and left bo From stereo speakers that have dense ear cups 7, stereo speakers with bone conduction right

4 and the left 5, which are located movably above and behind the usual speakers with the help of holders 6, which hold the bone speakers 4, 5 on the necessary areas of the brain. The headphones are equipped with an 8 wire for connecting to a personal computer or laptop.

Headphones are used as follows. Headphones are worn on the head. To achieve a better fit of the bone conduction speakers to the head (so that the same device can be used by both adults and children), the bone conduction speakers 4 and 5 can be additionally tightened with an elastic band at the back of the head. The headphones are connected to a laptop or personal computer, where a special high-frequency correction program is included that takes into account the day, time of day, duration of therapy, sound direction and frequency, and other individual parameters. The program can broadcast music and speech frequencies through headphones: separately for each speaker; alternately or simultaneously but with different intensity and different timbre and by bone conduction. Depending on the needs (meaning which areas of the cerebral cortex are affected or underdeveloped), the bone speaker can be located on 4 different areas of the cerebral cortex, an example in Fig. With and Fig. 4. This makes it possible to stimulate more affected areas and directly affect speech, motor and emotional areas for maximum stimulation. Areas of the cerebral cortex are affected by high-frequency sound. This excites neutral (spare, up to 7095 of the total number) neurons in the cortex, forcing them to work in the correct mode we need. As a result of the vibration caused by sound vibrations, the muscles move the cochlea and the vestibular membrane of the middle ear. From the inside, the cochlea is covered with hair cells that will convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses enter the reticular formation of the brain, which is a large neural network that controls the overall level of brain activity. In other words, the cochlea and the vestibular membrane create nerve impulses that stimulate the brain; in this case, we say that they perform the function of "charging the cerebral cortex".

The earphone for conducting high-frequency therapy creates a unique contrasting sound.

This effect causes contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the middle ear. This is a reciprocating movement caused by a sudden transition from low frequencies, which do not require any special accommodation from the auditory system, to high frequencies, which, on the contrary, require

From the auditory system of special effort. Contraction and relaxation of the muscles is caused, that is, a kind of gymnastics of the muscles of the middle ear is performed.

At the same time, all the time of the therapy session, you can do any work that is available, taking into account the length of the wire.

A useful model can be used in medical and pedagogical institutions, in children's preschool and school special institutions, speech therapy offices and everywhere where the process of speech and hearing training is carried out. Therapy using headphones for high-frequency therapy leads to maximum recovery of damaged areas of the cerebral cortex of children with various mental and neurological disabilities. It is possible to completely cure sensory alalia, motor alalia, improve the intelligence and behavior of children with various mental disorders.

The design of the earphone for conducting high-frequency therapy provides the possibility of its serial production at a low cost as a result of the possibility of using available materials, the versatility of the component elements, the possibility of production on conventional equipment, without the use of non-standard materials and technologies.
