摘要：
The invention relates to a device (1) for applying a transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the surface of a section of the human ear (2). The device comprises a retaining element (3) that is mountable on or in the ear and a number of electrodes (4, 5, 6) that are arranged on or in an electrode carrier (7), wherein the device (1) comprises a control apparatus (8) that controls or regulates the generation of a potential difference between the electrodes (4, 5, 6). In order to permit an improved and safer transcutaneous stimulation, according to the invention at least three electrodes (4, 5, 6) are arranged on or in the electrode carrier (7), wherein the at least three electrodes (4, 5, 6) are located in one plane (E), wherein the position of at least one of the at least three electrodes (4, 5, 6) is adjustable on the electrode carrier (7) and wherein the at least one electrode (4, 5, 6) of which the position is adjustable is mounted such as to be displaceable in a translational manner in the plane (E). The invention further relates to a method for operating such a device.
