[0003] Tinnitus can cause many adverse consequences for patients and seriously affect their quality of life.

[0004] Currently, clinical treatments for tinnitus mainly involve sound therapy, traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy, and acupressure. Treatment products include sound detection and treatment devices, as well as earmuffs for securing traditional Chinese medicine hot compresses. However, there is no convenient, portable device that can combine various treatment methods to comprehensively and effectively treat tinnitus, hearing loss, and other conditions, making it difficult to meet the requirements of customized treatment plans in traditional Chinese medicine.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a multifunctional tinnitus and hearing loss treatment device that integrates multiple treatment methods, solves the problem of inconvenience in coordinating and treating tinnitus with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy, acupoint stimulation therapy, and five-tone therapy, and has a fixed traditional Chinese medicine hot compress function is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a multifunctional tinnitus and hearing loss treatment device with a fixed traditional Chinese medicine hot compress function, which aims to solve one of the problems in the above-mentioned background technology, integrates multiple treatment methods into one, and solves the problem of inconvenience in coordinating and treating tinnitus with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy, acupoint stimulation therapy, five-tone therapy and other treatment methods.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A multifunctional tinnitus and hearing loss treatment device with the function of fixing a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress includes: The headphones include a headband and earcups. Two earcups are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the headband and are detachably connected to the headband. Each earcup has a miniature speaker located inside near the user's ear canal, providing sound playback functionality. Each earcup has an LED red light and a heating pad on its inner side, with the LED red light close to the heating pad or with a small gap. The heating pad is detachably connected to the earcup. The LED red light provides a warming effect, and the heating pad provides traditional Chinese medicine heating therapy. Each earcup has a vibration motor or electrode pad located at the edge of the earcup in contact with the user's acupoints, allowing the vibration motor to stimulate the acupoints around the user's ears.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the earmuffs is provided with a magnetic fixing frame, which is detachably mounted on the opposite side of the earmuff. The herbal pack is detachably connected to the earmuff through the magnetic fixing frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the earcups are also equipped with a control unit and an audio processing and storage unit, which are electrically connected to the control unit and drive the sound player to work.

[0010] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided inside the earcup, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control unit. The temperature sensor, in conjunction with the LED red light, achieves constant temperature or gradient temperature increase.

[0011] Furthermore, the headband is configured as a length-adjustable headband.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing frame is made of low-temperature thermoplastic shape memory material, which can achieve low-temperature thermoplastic deformation and room-temperature shape fixation.

[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a multifunctional tinnitus and hearing loss treatment device with the function of fixing a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This device integrates multiple treatment methods, creatively combining three major functional modules: sound therapy (five-tone therapy), thermotherapy (traditional Chinese medicine hot compress + LED red light), and acupoint physical stimulation (vibration motor). This is not simply a matter of piling on functions, but rather an innovative layered earmuff structure design that ensures each module operates spatially without interference while complementing each other functionally. 2. It provides highly flexible and personalized customized treatment plans for tinnitus patients with different causes, disease courses and physical conditions. Through the control unit, three treatment methods can be precisely controlled independently or in combination. Doctors or users can choose different modes such as "sound playback treatment only", "traditional Chinese medicine hot compress treatment + acupoint stimulation treatment" or "full-function comprehensive treatment" according to individual conditions, and can finely adjust the treatment parameters of each item (such as sound wave type, temperature, stimulation intensity and frequency). This modular and programmable treatment method solves the problem that traditional single devices cannot meet personalized medical needs. 3. Significantly improves ease of use, comfort and safety. The integrated headband design simplifies the treatment process, which originally required multiple devices and multiple operations, into a one-step process of "wearing-selecting-starting". The detachable heat pack design makes it extremely convenient to replace and clean the herbal pack. By incorporating various structural features into a single earband-style headphone device, it becomes easy to carry and suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, various therapeutic functions can be controlled individually or in combination, enabling customized and diversified treatment methods. This makes it suitable for multi-modal customized TCM tinnitus treatment plans, and its functions are more suitable for clinical application. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See Figure 1-4 This invention discloses a multifunctional tinnitus and hearing loss treatment device with the function of fixing a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress, comprising: The headset 1 includes a headband 2 and earcups 3. Two earcups 3 are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the headband 2 and are detachably connected to the headband 2. Each earcup 3 has a miniature speaker 4 located inside near the user's ear canal, providing sound playback functionality. Each earcup 3 has an LED red light 5 and a heating pad 6 on its inner side. The LED red light 5 is flush against the heating pad 6, or a small gap is provided between the LED red light and the heating pad 6. The heating pad 6 is detachably connected to the earcup 3. The LED red light 5 provides a warming effect, and the heating pad 6 provides traditional Chinese medicine-based heat therapy. Each earcup 3 has a vibration motor or electrode 7 located on the edge area that contacts the user's acupoints, providing vibration stimulation to the acupoints around the user's ears. The earcups 3, as functional carriers, have an internal cavity structure that acts as an acoustic resonance chamber, optimizing the sound therapy effect. The key to achieving transdermal absorption of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the LED red light 5 and the heated pack 6. The LED red light 5 securely and firmly fixes the heated pack 6, ensuring the medicine surface adheres tightly to the skin. Simultaneously, the airtight seal between the LED red light 5 and the heated pack 6 helps to concentrate the medicinal vapors and enhance local drug concentration. The LED red light 5, as a heat source, serves two purposes: first, it provides direct red light phototherapy (specific wavelengths can promote cell metabolism); second, it acts as a controllable heat source, providing stable and uniform heating to the heated pack 6, driving drug volatilization and avoiding the uneven temperature, drug efficacy degradation, or safety hazards caused by traditional microwave ovens or hot water bottles. The vibration motor or electrode 7 precisely positions the medicine at key acupoints such as the ear gate and Yifeng, achieving a simulated effect of traditional Chinese massage techniques through physical vibration. This unblocks ear meridians and relieves muscle tension, with effects far superior to the inaccuracy and effort of self-massage.

[0019] In this embodiment, each earmuff 3 is provided with a magnetic fixing frame 8. The magnetic fixing frame 8 is detachably set on the opposite side of the earmuff 3. The herbal pack is detachably connected to the earmuff 3 through the magnetic fixing frame 8. The magnetic fixing frame 8 is provided with multiple hooks 9 to better fix the hot herbal pack 6.

[0020] In this embodiment, the earcup 3 is also equipped with a control unit and an audio processing and storage unit. The audio processing and storage unit is electrically connected to the control unit and drives the sound player to work. The control unit, as the "brain" of the device, realizes a leap from "functional integration" to "intelligent fusion". It is not only the switch of each function, but also the scheduling center for collaborative treatment. It ensures the precise coordination of multiple treatment modes in terms of time and intensity and is the core of realizing personalized and customized treatment. The audio processing and storage unit performs audio processing and stores multiple treatment audios. According to the patient's condition, the doctor or the system can recommend the playback of treatment sound waves of specific frequencies and rhythms, such as the corresponding audios of Jiao, Zhi, Gong, Shang and Yu in "Five-Tone Therapy".

[0021] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor is provided inside the earcup 3. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control unit. The temperature sensor, together with the LED red light 5, achieves constant temperature or gradient temperature increase.

[0022] In this embodiment, the headband 2 is configured as an adjustable headband 2. The adjustable length of the headband 2 ensures that the device is securely worn by users with different head sizes, and ensures that the treatment areas of the left and right earcups 3 can accurately and fit the ears. This is the basis for stable and reliable treatment results.

[0023] In this embodiment, the magnetic fixing frame 8 is made of low-temperature thermoplastic shape memory material, which can achieve low-temperature thermoplastic deformation and room-temperature shape fixation, making it suitable for fixing hot packs 6 of different shapes and sizes.

[0024] In addition, in this embodiment, a soft inner lining is provided at the contact point between the earcups 3 and the user's ear, which can achieve physical sound insulation and improve comfort.

[0025] LED red light 5 can be set to LED infrared light.

[0026] The earcups 3 have physical buttons and a touchscreen on the sidewalls for easy control and viewing of treatment modes.

[0027] The earcups 3 are equipped with a mobile app remote control module and a Bluetooth / Wi-Fi module, supporting external audio input.

[0028] The earcups 3 have a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, a Type-C charging interface, and support charging during treatment.
