1. A system for applying and/or receiving an electrical signal, the system comprising:

  • a first earpiece comprising;

    a first conductive tip, the first tip comprising a first channel and a first outer surface having a shape that approximates a portion of a sphere or cone, the first tip being sized to fit within a user'"'"'s first ear;

    a first base configured to be coupled to the first tip, the first base comprising a first conductor in electrical contact with the first tip such that an electrical signal may pass between the first base and the first tip;

    a second earpiece comprising;

    a second conductive tip, the second tip comprising a second channel and a second outer surface, the second tip being sized to fit within a user'"'"'s second ear;

    a second base configured to be coupled to the second tip, the second base comprising a second conductor in electrical contact with the second tip such that an electrical signal may pass between the second base and the second tip;

    a power source, the power source being connected to the first earpiece to apply a first electrical signal within the user'"'"'s first ear via the first earpiece;

    a detector, the detector being connected to the second earpiece to receive a second electrical signal from the user'"'"'s second ear via the second earpiece;

    wherein the system, using the power source and the detector, is configured to apply the first electrical signal to the first ear and receive the second signal from the user'"'"'s second ear simultaneously; and

    wherein the system, using a processor, is configured to generate data based on the second electrical signal, the second electrical signal being related to the first electrical signal such that the data generated based on the second electrical signal is configured to be analyzed to assess whether the second electrical signal was received after the first electrical signal was applied.
