Treatment of tinnitus, characterised by an ever-present ringing in the ears in the absence of external sound, is getting a new high-tech tool as Oregon-based Otoharmonics receives FDA clearance for its Levo System.
One more example of how Apple devices are being used in innovative health treatments, the system equips patients with an iPod Touch preloaded with a neuroscience-based sound therapy software system and custom-made ear buds, while hearing professionals use an Apple iPad Air installed with Levo's Manager software to survey patients' progress.
