Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are described herein that provide a vibratory device that can apply a vibratory signal to a portion of a head of a user such that the vibratory signal can be conducted via bone to a vestibular system of the user and cause a portion of the vestibular system to move in a manner equivalent to that of a therapeutically effective vibratory signal applied to an area overlaying a mastoid bone of the user. The vibratory device can be associated with frequencies less than 200 Hz. The vibratory device can be effective at treating a physiological condition associated with the vestibular system.

Claim (Index 19):
A method, comprising:\n positioning a vibratory device over an area of a head of a user; energizing the vibratory device, after the positioning, to apply a vibratory signal to the area such that the vibratory signal can be conducted via bone to a vestibular system of the user, the vibratory signal configured to cause a portion of the vestibular system to move in a manner equivalent to that of a vibratory signal (1) applied to an area overlaying a mastoid bone of the user and having (2) a frequency less than 200 Hz and a force level between 90 and 100 dB re 1 dyne; and treating, in response to energizing the vibratory device, a physiological condition associated with the vestibular system.
