Abstract:
A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a vibration generator having an acoustic device operable to provide a sound; a seal configured to cover a nose, but not a mouth, of the user to form an air-tight chamber around the nose of the user; the vibration generator disposed in a housing connected to the seal; and a stand extending from the housing and including a ball bearing and a seat on which the ball bearing may rest, the stand including a hollow member and an orifice, the orifice disposed in the seat. The vibration generator provides the sound directly to the nose of the user. A positive pressure is created in the air-tight chamber when the user exhales, the positive pressure generating a lift force to lift the ball bearing from the seat.
