Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
delivering an electrical signal through galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) via transdermal electrical stimulation using electrodes within earpieces configured to be inserted into ear canals of a patient, the electrical signal comprising an amplitude and a carrier frequency;
modulating at least one of the amplitude and the carrier frequency based on a modulation waveform to modulate the electrical signal delivered through GVS, the modulation waveform comprising a modulation frequency that is less than the carrier frequency; and
acoustically delivering an audio waveform using speakers within the earpieces to the patient simultaneous with the delivering of the modulated electrical signal through GVS;
wherein the delivered audio waveform comprises a perceived volume that indicates to the patient that the earpieces are inserted within the ear canals of the patient such that the modulated electrical signal is being delivered to the ear canals, and
wherein the carrier frequency is at least about 3 kHz.
