Claim 16:
17. A method of operating an ear level auditory system comprising an ear level audio device adapted to be worn in or at a first ear of a user and comprising the steps of:
configuring first wireless link means to enable an operational connection to at least one of an external device, a remote computer and a remote server,
configuring a sound generator to provide at least one type of auditory stimulation adapted to induce neural oscillations, in the frequency range between 0.5 and 100 Hz, in a brain region of said user and wherein the type of auditory stimulation is determined by a set of sound generator parameters,
adapting a sound generator controller to control the type, initiation and termination of said auditory stimulation without requiring user interaction,
adapting the sound generator controller to at least one of:
be at least partly controlled remotely and to transmit logged data to a remote computer, and
providing an auditory stimulation under the control of the sound generator controller; and
wherein the sound generator controller:
allows at least two auditory stimulations to be provided that differ with respect to at least desired frequency of induced neural oscillations, initiation, and termination; and
ensures that said two auditory stimulations do not overlap in time.
