DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a wellness device for better transmission of structure-borne sound waves to a body.

The object is achieved with an arrangement for transmitting

Structure-borne sound waves resolved on a body according to the independent claim.

According to a first aspect of the present invention is a

Arrangement for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to a body (e.g., a human body or an animal body). The arrangement has a device which a

Supporting region having a support surface, and at least one exciter device. The device can be placed with the support surface on the body. The exciter device is arranged on the device such that the support region for generating

Structure-borne sound waves, which have a sound energy, excitable and the structure-borne sound waves including the sound energy by means of

Support surface in the body are inducible.

The support area is, so to speak, excitable to produce structure-borne sound waves, such as Bending shafts to produce in the bearing area. The

Structure-borne sound waves transport sound energy, which

Structure-borne sound waves starting from the support area over the

Support surface are transferable to the body. According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to a body is described. According to the method, a device which has a bearing area with a bearing surface is fastened to the body, so that the bearing area with the bearing surface bears against the body. An excitation device is arranged on the device in such a way that the support region for generating structure-borne sound waves, which have a sound energy, is excited and the structure-borne sound waves

including their sound energy is induced by means of the support surface in the body.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, the auditory canal of the person is closed, for example by means of ear plugs or other closure means, so that hardly or hardly

Airborne sound waves from the air penetrate through the ear canal into the ear of the person, so that the hearing or the perception of

Airborne sound waves over the auditory organ is reduced.

The contact area of the device is, for example, the area of a housing wall enclosing the device or another

Partition wall. A surface of the wall forms, for example, the

Bearing surface on the body off. The structure-borne sound waves, such as Biegewellen are by means of the exciter device within the

Produced support area by the exciter device, for example, is in operative connection with the support area. In other words, the support area forms a membrane in which structure-borne sound waves, in particular flexural waves, run. The structure-borne sound waves are directly from the support area by means of the support surface on the

(human or animal) body transmitted without causing air bubbles between the support surface and the body

Air scarf waves are generated for transmission, which the

would reduce transmittable sound energy. So much is

Transports sound energy that can be transmitted to the body directly, as opposed to a sound transmission means

Airborne sound waves there is less reflection. To be effective

Structure-borne sound waves, e.g. Bending waves to produce in the support area, the support area of acrylic glass, wood, fiberglass, plastic, etc.

and / or a honeycomb (HoneyComb) material. The support area is preferably thin, light and stiff. The wall thickness of the support area can be less than about 3 cm

(Centimeters), in particular less than 3mm (millimeters) amount.

The device and in particular the support area can

be designed collapsible or collapsible, so that thereby the device and beyond the entire arrangement can be made portable or portable. By way of example, the support region can consist of several links, which are connected by means of hinges or flexible material connections (for example flexible adhesive, insertion of elastic regions). In addition, in an exemplary embodiment, the device may be placed on the body in a manner similar to a blanket, with the orientation of the members of the support area conforming to the body shape. Between the

Overlay area and the body can be down for better fitting be placed described adapter element. Furthermore, such a portable arrangement can be used as a chair or couch support, for example, the (limb-like) device can be placed on a dental chair, so that the patient sitting on it relaxes during treatment by the application of the arrangement (ie by the thus generated structure-borne noise) ,

Structure-borne sound waves are sound waves, which in contrast to

Spread airborne sound waves in a solid. An elastic

Solid bodies, such as the support area, in contrast to the air in addition to normal stresses and shear stresses record.

Therefore, in universally unlimited solids, such as e.g. the support area and / or the body, longitudinal waves or

Propagate transverse waves. These structure-borne sound waves propagate independently of each other. The support surface may be formed as a limited solid with a shear stress-free surface. This leads to the coupling between longitudinal waves and

Transverse waves, resulting in other types of structure-borne sound waves. The most important wave type are the bending waves where bending deformations occur. Structure-borne sound waves and in particular

Bending shafts can therefore transport significantly more sound energy than airborne sound waves. The structure-borne noise can be tactilely perceived by humans (bodies), especially at low frequencies. A

Bending waves as structure-borne noise can be described as a physical wave, which moves within the (flexible) support area and oscillates perpendicular to its propagation direction. The oscillation bends and bends the support area. The

Bending shaft spreads in particular one or two-dimensional within the support area. The oscillating bearing area generates structure-borne sound waves, which transport a high sound energy directly from the bearing surface into the body without before in Airborne sound waves to be converted. The structure-borne sound waves are referred to as structure-borne noise within the body.

In the following, the structure-borne sound waves denote a sound which represents a propagation of the smallest pressure and density fluctuations in the body. The structure-borne sound waves transmitted into the body generate the structure-borne noise in the interior of the body. This is for the auditory perception of structure-borne noise inside the body and not the usual auditory perception by air scoop waves, which penetrate through the ear canal into the organ of hearing of the person. Der by e.g. The bending waves generated in the body structure-borne sound leads to a

corresponding vibration e.g. the bones, the skeleton and / or the internal organs. Sensory organs and the vibrating areas serve to perceive the structure-borne noise

(Bones, organs) of the body, which are stimulated by in the bearing area induced structure-borne sound waves. In other words, the structure-borne sound waves are not transmitted from the outside to the ears of the person or the body, but are induced from the outside in a region of the body on which the bearing surface of the device rests. The sense of hearing is not due to the perception of airborne sound waves through the

Ears tied. The structure-borne sound waves or the structure-borne noise in the body generates vibrations that are also perceived or felt by sense organs on corresponding body parts. Furthermore, the structure-borne noise is transmitted from the inside to the auditory organ, e.g. due to the

corresponding vibrations in the skeleton of the body, transmitted. In other words, the auditory perception of structure-borne sound describes the process of hearing or the form in which the structure-borne sound waves are perceived by the body, eg the auditory events that occur in certain sound events. The exciter device is, for example, an electrodynamic exciter, such as an electromagnetic (oscillating) coil or a piezo element. The exciter device may have a diameter of about 2 cm to about 12 cm (centimeters) and a height of about 0.5 cm to about 5 cm. The exciter device may be attached (eg, glued) to the device and in particular to the support area in order to be in the support area

Body sound waves, such as Bending waves to produce. By means of

Exciter device arise in the support area transverse waves and / or longitudinal waves that extend along a plane of the

Spread the support area evenly in all directions. The

Propagation has a generation of structure-borne sound waves, which are induced as structure-borne noise in the body of the user, the result, the structure-borne sound or generated by the structure-borne sound

Vibration in the body of the user can be perceived as an acoustic signal from the inside and not exclusively from the outside, for example by airborne sound waves, which penetrate through the ear canal in the ear. The excitation device, together with the support area, forms a structure-borne sound wave generator, the support area functioning as a membrane of the structure-borne sound wave generator. The structure-borne sound waves can be generated in an audible range between approximately 100 Hz to approximately 20 kHz. Thus, the body surge waves, in particular music, can be transmitted directly into the body on the support area, so that the user can perceive an inner structure-borne sound, which reproduces music, for example.

As in the support area structure-borne sound waves can be generated, which are transmitted via the support surface directly into the body and, for example, not via the air as airborne sound waves to the ear, hears a person not via the ears the music produced by airborne sound waves, but via the structure-borne sound waves in the body or via the structure-borne noise, for example, how an embryo in the womb perceives sound waves. As a result, all cells in the body are addressed simultaneously, which causes the surprisingly positive effect that a new feeling in the person is caused, unlike, for example, in everyday life.

As a result, the person experiences positive effects, such as a total deep relaxation in no time, a release of thinking, a reappearance of previously unheard feelings and emotions, a completely new experience of the senses beyond the known limits and the release of old tensions and blockages , All the senses are transmitted from the ones transferred to the body

Structure-borne sound waves coherently excited. The can

Structure-borne sound waves have a fundamental frequency derived from nature, which is highly octave in the respective frequency ranges. In the octave up (Hochoktavierung) is the

Frequency of the sound doubles, when the octave down

(Tiefoktavierung) it is halved. By means of the excitation device, which in particular generates bending waves in the support area in order to induce structure-borne sound or structure-borne noise into the body, much more intensive vibrations (structure-borne noise) and also without distortion can be transmitted to the body of a person in the bass region. This happens next to the

Structure-borne sound waves or the structure-borne noise, which are transferred into the body also to a massaging effect with an increase in circulation, so that also at the area of the body site, which on the

Support area rests, a local relaxation or regeneration of the body is generated. Due to the structure-borne sound, which is introduced from outside to inside in the support area, it comes to the inner Listen (like an embryo in the womb) and to a kind of inner vision.

These effects can be enhanced, for example, by the

The auditory canal is closed by means of closure elements (such as ear plugs) and the eyes are provided with a privacy screen. In order to enhance the inner vision, the person can see at least 15 seconds in the center of a color lamp, after closing the eyes the person sees the lamp in the complementary color.

Through inner hearing and through inner seeing a so-called "gap in the mind" arises. The mind can not understand perception or inner hearing and inner vision, but feels because of the induced structure-borne sound waves or the

Structure-borne sound recovered and gives up its control, which by the

Mindful states of consciousness and tension

be let go.

Due to the transmission of structure-borne sound waves directly into the body, all cells in the body are addressed due to structure-borne noise, so that a deeper relaxation can be generated.

Furthermore, the arrangement for transmitting structure-borne sound waves to the body may be combined with other complementary medical devices and methods, such as light therapy methods, to potentiate the relaxation factor. For example, the arrangement described above may be supplemented with mindmachines, neurostimulator (flickering light in combination with constant light), color glasses, special color therapy devices, white and pink noise, aromatherapy, bioresonance, electromagnetic interference with brain frequencies, shiatsu massage, lymphatic drainage, Lomi-Lomi. Nui, Binauralbeats, sounds of singing bowls, planetary tones or 3D TV goggles can be combined.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the device has a neurostimulator which has a lamp system. The

Lamp system is set up, a constant light and / or a

generate flickering light with variable light intensity, with white light and / or variable color and / or with a variable flicker distance and variable frequency. The neurostimulator is set up in such a way that the lamp system and the exciter device interact with one another in such a way that the constant light and / or the flickering light and the structure-borne noise are coordinated with one another.

The light system may generate the constant light and / or the flickering light based on the common data of the exciter device so that the lamp system and the exciter device interact with each other. The user takes the light play of the lamp system and the tuned body sound so that the user experiences increased relaxation and intense perception. The shared data may be based on the heart music or "brain music" that may be generated by the EEG device or the ECG device described in detail below, and the data may also be general music data

Lamp system and the exciter means of data of a

Music piece are controlled by a corresponding control device. The user experiences the piece of music more intensively through the perception of the tuned light and the structure-borne sound.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the arrangement comprises video glasses. The video glasses have an eye-near screen (eg one eye-near screen per eye), so that the user Videobrille a film or an image (close to the eye) are displayed

especially 3-dimensional. The exciter device is coupled to the video eyeglasses such that the exciter device excites body sound waves based on the film or images in the overlay region.

For example, a video can be played close to the user via the video glasses, with the associated sound or the associated sound being induced in the body as structure-borne noise via the contact area, so that the user transmits the sound associated with the film via the film

Body sound perceives. This can create an effective virtual reality.

The twill sound waves in the support area can in particular

To produce structure-borne sound waves or structure-borne noise, which transmit sounds or music (eg favorite music of the person) into the user's body for relaxation, so that in other words the structure-borne sound produces a melodic inner music which does not penetrate the auditory canal as airborne sound waves and is perceived with the ear, but is perceived from the inside as structure-borne sound of the person. The sounds and the music are

for example, selected from the group consisting of a frequency from nature, certain instruments, ethnic music with corresponding trance-induced effect, music with underlying tones that the

Brain frequency, e.g. towards alpha state, up

Planet tones tuned monocords, special singing bowl music, sounds and frequencies from VAT (Vibro-Acoustic Therapy), sounds and frequencies that address specific areas of the brain, and all music from a wide variety of areas (eg rock, pop, electronic music), especially favorite music pieces the person using the device. By means of the present invention, a structure-borne noise is generated in the interior of the body efficiently. Since the excitation device does not generate airborne sound waves which are induced into the body via the air, but because the exciter device excites the contact area which rests directly on the skin or the painful body site, an intensive oscillation is induced in the body. The support area forms

in particular a hard and rigid bearing surface which is excited and rests on the body, whereby strong vibrations are induced in the body. In addition, surprisingly

It has been found that the transmission of structure-borne sound waves into the body at a painful or tense part of the body (such as the sole of the foot, the wrist or the abdominal wall (menstrual pain)) alleviates the pain

Causes tension.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the arrangement, the exciter device has a control unit. The control unit controls the excitation means such that corresponding sound waves (for example, bending waves) in the body are generated on the basis of music data

Support area can be generated. Based on the structure-borne sound waves in the support area, the structure-borne sound waves are generated, which generate the structure-borne noise in the body, so that inside the body, the piece of music transmitted with the music data is perceptible.

The control unit may include a microprocessor. Furthermore, the control unit may comprise an amplifier with which, e.g. the

Volume or the individual frequency ranges (for example, medium or high tones) can be strengthened targeted. The amplifier can be attached directly to the device (eg the shoe or the hand applicator)

Operating elements (eg buttons, sliders, knobs) have. According to a further exemplary embodiment, the

Arrangement a device (i.e., an ECG

Device (electrocardiogram device) for recording an electrocardiogram, the electrical activities of

Cardiac muscle of the body reflects. The exciter device has a further control unit, wherein the control device the

Controlling means such that based on the recorded electrocardiogram of the circulation area for the generation of

corresponding structure-borne sound waves can be excited with the sound energy, so that in turn corresponding structure-borne sound waves can be induced in the body. The structure-borne sound waves are thus indicative of the electrical activities of the heart muscle fibers of the user. An electrocardiogram records the sum of the electrical activity of all heart muscles. This sum of the electrical activities of the heart muscles are reproduced as a cardiac tension curve or as a heart note. Every contraction of a heart muscle goes one

electrical excitation ahead. About a herzeigenes electrical

Conduction system made of special cardiac muscle cells, the electrical excitation to the heart muscle cells. This electrical

Heart tension change can be measured on the body surface using the ECG device and recorded over time. This results in a recurrent picture of the electrical heart action. With the ECG device, a variety of statements about the characteristics of the heart can be made. For example, an electrocardiogram can be used to determine the heart rate, heart rhythm, a type of posture (electrical heart axis) and a so-called heart rate variability (HRV), and to read the electrical activity of the atria and ventricles. The measurement of the electrical currents or voltages by means of the ECG device can in different parts of the body (called channels)

be made. For example, usually become

Six-channel electrocardiogram or a twelve-channel electrocardiogram recorded.

In an exemplary embodiment, the ECG device is in particular a single-channel ECG device. For example, the single-channel ECG device may have an ear clip. By means of the single-channel ECG device, the heart rate variability (HRV) can be measured accordingly. Thus, for example, only with a sensor on the ear of the pulse can be measured in order to calculate all other relevant data.

For the HRV calculation, e.g. uses an ECG channel.

The data of one ECG channel are from the time domain

mathematically, e.g. by means of an FFT calculation (Fast Fourier

Transform), transformed into a certain frequency range. As a result, different frequency bands result, out of empirical values e.g. Sympatikus and / or the Parasympatikus can be assigned.

The frequency band, which is assigned to the parasympatikus, for example, can be used. The signals of this frequency band are now sent to a channel of a MIDI interface. The body is supplied to the structure-borne noise generated by the device. The set signals, which are delivered to the body as structure-borne sound, correspond to those which correspond to the parasympic cycle on the ECG and thus reproduce the relaxing part. This results in real time a biofeedback loop, with only frequency components of the heartbeats, those of the parasympic (Relaxation), be set to music and in music

being transformed. This music is then returned to the human body via the structure-borne sound. This has the effect of that

Relaxation continues to increase, resulting in even more shares of

Parasympatikus find after the FFT in the frequency band and even more or more intense such "Parasympatikus music" can be supplied to the body.

By means of the FFT any number of frequency bands can be generated and assigned to a MIDI channel. This determines the rhythm, pitch, volume, and duration of the generated sound.

It is also possible to use e.g. the frequency band associated with the parasympic, in e.g. Divide ten parts and assign each part a MIDI channel. Each MIDI channel can be assigned to another instrument. Thus, a whole "orchestra" plays Parasympatikus heart music, so users can feel their inner autonomous rhythms, oscillations and activities as a music that they generate via structure-borne noise.

This (Parasympatikus) heart music can by means of the other

Control unit are converted into control data for the excitation device, so that the support area is excited by means of the excitation means such that a structure-borne noise is generated, which

recorded heart music corresponds. The user thus perceives the recorded heart music in real time via the structure-borne sound. Thus, based on the recorded electrocardiogram by means of a conversion devices or the further control device Cardiac Rate Variability (HRV) can be determined. By means of

According determined data of the heart rate variability can

for example via the converter, which e.g. has appropriate converters and filters, a MIDI interface are controlled and from the heart music are generated.

If this heart music is heard, e.g. generates a biofeedback effect in real time, which leads to a relaxation (increased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system). In particular, the biofeedback can be increased by setting the transducer device only a part of the heart signals. By transferring the heart music with the structure-borne sound over the circulation area the biofeedback effect is clearly increased, in particular in the comparison to it, if one would perceive the tones only over air noise at the ear instead of over the structure-borne noise.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the

Arrangement a device (for example, a so-called

An electroencephalography (EEG) measuring device) for measuring a summed electrical activity of a user's brain by recording voltage fluctuations on a user's head surface. The exciter device has a further control device, wherein the further control unit the

Exciter device controls such that based on the recorded voltage fluctuations of the support area for the generation of

Body waves excitable with the sound energy. The further control unit controls the exciter device in such a way that corresponding to the recorded voltage fluctuations on the head surface

Structure-borne sound waves are inducible in the body. The structure-borne sound waves are thus indicative of the summed electrical activity of the user's brain. The device for measuring a summed electrical activity of a user's brain by recording

Voltage fluctuations on a user's head surface is generally referred to as an EEG device. By means of the EEG device, the activity of the user's brain can be recorded by recording voltage fluctuations on the head surface. It will be in different places of the head

Voltage probes arranged, each voltage measuring probe generates a corresponding signal. Each signal forms a channel with corresponding oscillations (amplitudes and frequencies).

Similarly, data of a channel as described above for the ECG device may be mathematically derived from the time domain, e.g. be transformed into a specific frequency range by means of an FFT calculation (Fast Fourier Transform). This results

different frequency bands, e.g. alpha, beta, delta, theta and / or gamma brain waves can be assigned. From the frequency bands can, as described above for the ECG Vamrhtu g, a corresponding music are set to music. Thus, based on the recorded electrical activities of the user's brain, corresponding music data may be generated by the further control device.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the

Device on a control unit, which is operated by a person. The control unit is coupled to the control unit to the

Control unit. For example, the operating unit may be an external device structurally separate from the device, such as a (portable) computer, an input terminal, a tablet PC or a mobile device (smartphone). The person can with the control unit so to speak pieces of music or other desired sounds, which are stored for example digitally on a data memory or via a microphone be received, and the pieces of music transmitted as music data to the control unit. The control unit can then control the exciter device accordingly, in particular

produce corresponding structure-borne sound waves, with which the corresponding music data or sounds are perceived as structure-borne noise in the body. Further, by means of the operating unit, the amplifier and thus e.g. the volume and / or the sound quality are controlled. The operating unit can be coupled to the control unit wirelessly or by wire for remote transmission. Further, the operating unit may be located directly at the installation location of the control unit or device (e.g., the shoe or hand applicator) or operated from a position spaced from the apparatus. The

Control unit may further be software-controlled, wherein the operating unit comprises a processor for executing a control software or a control program and a memory device for storing the control software and the music data. The storage device may comprise a hard disk. Further, the memory device may include an interface (e.g., USB port,

Memory card slot for e.g. SD cards or a drive for a computer-readable storage medium (CD, DVD)), to which, for example, memory cards or external memory (for example USB memory sticks) can be connected. Furthermore, the memory device can be configured such that it can be accessed wirelessly, for example via the Internet.

Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, a computer-readable storage medium is described in which a program for controlling the above-described device is stored, which when executed by a processor, as method steps at least the targeted selection of music data by a user and the control of the control unit and thus the device comprises, so that the excitation means in particular structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves) generates according to the selected music data. Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, a program element for controlling is described, which, when executed by a processor, as method steps at least selectively selecting music data by a user and controlling the control unit and thus the device, so that the exciter device in particular

Structure-borne sound waves (e.g., bending waves) are generated according to the selected music data.

The control program can be understood, for example, as an application program (so-called app), which, for example, on a

Computer or a mobile phone (smartphone) is stored as a control unit.

Furthermore, the arrangement may have a power supply device, such as a battery or a photovoltaic device. In addition, a reception module can be connected to the control unit in order to transmit music data from outside the device to the control unit, for example via a wired or wireless connection technology (wireless LAN, Bluetooth, infrared, etc.).

The excitation device and the other components, such as

For example, the control unit, the power supply unit, the receiving unit, the amplifier and / or the control unit, within the device, for example in a cavity of

Device, be arranged. The cavity is, for example, free of internal struts and stiffeners so as not to reduce the vibration capacity of the support area.

According to another exemplary embodiment is a

Surface shape of the support area to a predetermined further

Surface shape (of a part) of the body adapted. The body or the body part may, for example, represent a top or bottom of the hand, a foot or the abdominal area of the body. Is the surface shape of the support surface to the predetermined further

Adjusted surface shape of the body part, the contact surface between the support surface and the other surface shape of the body is enlarged and optimized. In particular, the excitation device can excite the entire contact surface of the support region, so that structure-borne sound waves, in particular bending waves, run over the entire contact region. By an exact adaptation of the surface form of the

Bearing area to the other surface shape of the body (or the body part) of the user, the structure-borne sound waves in the

Support area are effectively transferred into the body and induced to generate the structure-borne noise, for example, air areas between the support surface and the other surface shape of the body are reduced by the adjustment.

The adaptation of the surface shape of the support area to the further surface shape of the body can be produced, for example, by producing a plaster cast of the selected body location (eg sole, abdominal area, hand, back, knee, etc.). The plaster cast can be used to, for example, as a form (eg Mold) to make the surface shape as a detailed negative shape of the selected body part.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, the

Arrangement further comprises an adapter element, such as a pad, which is filled with grains, for example, with (sea) salt grains, on. The adapter element is positionable between the support surface and the body. The adapter element as a cushion is particularly flexible due to the filling with grains (for example, with grain diameters of 0.002mm to 8mm). The adapter element may further consist of a soft foam. Furthermore, the pillow as

Adapter element to be filled with polystyrene balls. Further, the cushion as an adapter element may be a vacuum pad or a compressed air pad, which may be e.g. In addition, the grains described above, wherein the hardness or softness of the pad is customizable via a variable adjustment of the internal air pressure in the cushion.

Further, the support surface may include attachment means, e.g. Clamps, grooves, Velcro areas or a receiving chamber, to optionally attach the adapter element to the support area.

The adapter element adapts flexibly and individually to a specific further surface shape of the body and also to a surface shape of the support surface. As a result, air pockets between the surface shape of the support surface and the other surface shape of the body (body part) are reduced. Thus, at any point of the body, a good transmission of structure-borne sound waves, in particular of the bending waves, be effected directly into the body of the support surface in the body, so that no sound waves are transmitted through the air. If the adapter element has a salt pad, this increases the hygiene due to the Salt. In addition, a cleaning action of the skin can be effected by means of the salt.

In particular, the support area is significantly harder and stiffer than the adapter element formed. Since the exciter device acts on the harder support area where the excitation device is mounted, the structure-borne sound waves (eg bending waves) are generated in the support area and not in the softer adapter element. A generation of

Structure-borne sound waves in a harder support area is much more effective than in a softer adapter element. The one by the

Structure-borne noise generated by structure-borne sound waves can then be effectively transmitted to the body through the softer adapter element.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the

Overlay area has a cavity which can be filled with a liquid fluid (for example water).

In particular, the cavity may have chambers. The chambers are partially, for example, by webs or partitions

separated from each other. In the chambers, for example, a honeycomb structure (so-called honeycomb structure) can be integrated. The chambers are configured such that the liquid fluid can freely tile in multiple directions within the chambers. The chambers may also be designed such that the liquid fluid can move freely between the chambers. By means of the honeycomb structure, the support area is reinforced, so that the support area has a high rigidity despite the cavity.

The liquid fluid can be, for example, water, in particular warm and tempered water. The circulation area together with

Water flow is suitable, for example, in addition to the transmission of the structure-borne sound also thermal energy (heat) to the body of the user to transfer. Thus, in addition to transmitting the

Structure-borne noise also transfers heat over the support area. This will e.g. the relaxation effect is enhanced or the effect of an infrared cabin can be simulated thereby.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the device is a shoe. The shoe is particularly wearable on a foot as a body part of the person. In another exemplary embodiment, the support area is a sole of the shoe or a foot attachment

(Shoe buckle, fastening strap of the shoe, Velcro connection of the shoe).

As a sole, the so-called insole or the

Pad described on which the sole of the foot (foot bottom) of the foot rests when wearing the shoe. The shoe may be, for example, a sports shoe or a street shoe.

By exciting the sole of the shoe with structure-borne sound waves (e.g., flexural waves), the body sound waves generated therefrom are transmitted directly into the body via the sole of the foot. This reduces the pain on the sole of the foot, which, for example, due to a long standing of the person or due to other

Caused by soles of the feet.
