Zusammenfassung:An electrical ear nerve stimulation earpiece apparatus includes an earpiece body configured to fit on or in the ear. A first electrode is coupled to a surface of the earpiece configured to stimulate a cranial nerve, and a second electrode is coupled to a surface of the earpiece configured to stimulate a spinal nerve. Circuitry coupled to or in the earpiece is operable to provide an electrical signal to at least the first and second electrodes to treat a disorder affecting the nervous system by stimulating the spinal nerve and the cranial nerve.
