The invention relates to a device for the punctual stimulation of the nerve endings located in the region of the ears, said device having a battery-powered therapeutic current generator (3) arranged in a housing (4) which is to be worn in the region of the ear, and said generator supplying a low frequency therapeutic current. The therapeutic current generator (3) has a plurality of output channels (9a, 9b, 9c), wherein each output channel is associated with its own stimulation electrode (6a, 6b, 6c), and these output channels are connected to a micro-computer circuit (10) on the input side. Each output channel (9a, 9b, 9c) contains an amplifier (15a, 15b, 15c), controlled by a digital-analogue converter (12) and designed for bipolar output signals. A control signal is preferably fed to the amplifiers (15a, 15b, 15c), said signal causing current strength and stimulation voltage behaviour in the output circuit of the respective amplifier (15a, 15b, 15c), said behaviour adapting to the resistance value in said circuit and corresponding to I = k-R U = k-R2, in which k is a selectable constant. In addition, three output channels are preferably provided, each associated with its own stimulation electrode, and during the periods of current flow, the therapeutic current fed to each stimulation electrode (6a, 6b, 6c) is compensated each time with regard to the intensity and polarity by the therapeutic currents being fed to the other stimulation electrodes (6a, 6b, 6c).
