摘要：
A device 1 is disclosed having a spectacle-shaped frame 2 for supporting one or more pods 60A, 60B, each pod comprising apparatus for non-invasive measuring of intracranial pressure (ICP) using a tympanic measurement technique and ear probe tube 21A, 21B. The glasses frame may comprise bridge 5, nose rest 6, arms 3A, 3B and the pods may be releasable via knob 66A, 66B, the ear tubes detachable by resilient releasable clip and rotatable via ball joint 70A, 70B. Also disclosed is a method of diagnosing a medical condition by measuring a response to externally induced intracranial pressure change using a tympanic technique. The pressure change may be applied by a rotatable bed and actuator (figure 5, 90 & 92) which may tilt the bed by raising its upper end. Providing the device in the form of a spectacles may be more suited for use with a patient in neuro-intensive care.
