THE EFFICACY OF THE VIBROMETER IN APPLYING VIBRATORY MASSAGE IN AURAL DISEASES

THE EFFICACY OF THE VIBROMETER IN APPLYING VIBRATORY MASSAGE IN AURAL DISEASES. SINCE presenting my paper before the American Institute, in June of last year on “Vibratory Motion as a Method of Massage in Aural Diseases,” I have been using an instrument specially devised for that purpose called the “vibrometer.” This instrument is in shape like a banjo, and has four strings stretched across its length resting on a bridge, which sets upon a diaphragm. On each side, elevated above the diaphragm and supported by posts, are two horizontal bars, which support the mechanical appliances used for producing the various vibratory motions.
