    • An electromechanical stimulation system for treating tinnitus comprising a proximal unit (10), configured to be placed proximate to a user's ear (1), and an input interface (50) configured to be operated by the user. The proximal unit comprises an electromechanical device (30) configured to transmit mechanical vibrations (35) with predetermined frequency (f), intensity (A) and waveform, to tissues proximate to the user's ear; a control unit (20), configured to actuate the electromechanical device in such a way that the frequency, the intensity and the waveform of the mechanical vibrations can be modified; a transceiver element (40) adapted to receive control signals (45) for the control unit. The input interface comprises a transmitter element (60) configured to transmit control signals (45) to the transceiver element; a microcontroller (70) configured to emit the control signals to generate the mechanical vibrations of the electromechanical device at a first frequency between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, and to cause a repetition of the vibrations for all the plurality of frequencies of this range; an input element (80) configured to receive from the user an instruction to start generating said vibrations at a stationary frequency corresponding to a current frequency, to stand by, to receive from the user an instruction to stop modifying the frequency of said vibrations, such that said user can notify to said microcontroller (70) a frequency value at which he/she perceives a significant decrease of tinnitus symptoms; to continue generating mechanical vibrations at this stationary frequency.

    • A contact force sensor device (10) comprises a gas-inflatable balloon (20) 5 arranged to switch from a deflated state (D) to an inflated state (J) in which it protrudes out of a support member (11); a valve assembly (34) to inflate/deflate the gas-inflatable balloon (12) with a gas; a detector (41) of a force-related value related to a force acting on the inflated gas-inflatable balloon (20) including a membrane (22) due to a contact with a wall (90) 10 outside of support member (11); a processing unit (60) configured to receive a detection signal (45) and to consequently calculate a contact force signal (54) according to a predetermined function; and a notification device (70) configured to receive the contact force signal (54) and to notify it to a user. The value detected can be an excess pressure ΔP in gas-15 inflatable balloon 20, or a deformation parameter of gas-inflatable balloon 20 caused by the contact, or a strain or stress modification in membrane 22, all these effect being caused by the contact with wall 90. Due to its simple structure and small size, the contact force sensor device (10), can be advantageously used in an diagnostic or surgical instrument since, 20 deflated, it can be easily inserted into a patient's body through a very small entry site, possibly along with a surgical or diagnostic tool to perform a mini-invasive surgical or diagnostic operation.
