Neuroacoustic Therapy: What is it and what does it do?

As stress and anxiety levels continue to be prominent and, on the rise, so does people’s desire to manage it effectively. More and more drug-free and Eastern medicine methods are resurfacing, in addition to new practices and products being available. One example that has gained attention in recent years is neuroacoustic therapy. In this article, we will define neuroacoustic therapy, discuss the practices and techniques used in neuroacoustic therapy, and discuss its reliability, predictability, and effectiveness.

What is Neuroacoustic Therapy?

Neuroacoustic therapy encompasses various techniques and approaches that use sound and music to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Here are some examples of neuroacoustic therapy:

1. Sound Baths: Sound baths involve experiencing immersive soundscapes created by instruments like singing bowls and gongs. Participants lie down and immerse themselves in the soothing vibrations and harmonious sounds, which can induce relaxation.

2. Music Therapy: Music therapists use specially selected music to address individual needs and goals. Music can have therapeutic benefits.

3. Vibroacoustic Therapy: In vibroacoustic therapy, individuals lie on specially designed mats or beds that vibrate at specific frequencies. These vibrations can have a calming effect and promote relaxation.

4. Guided Imagery and Visualization: Guided imagery sessions often incorporate soothing music and narration to guide individuals through relaxation exercises and visualization techniques. This can help promote relaxation.

5. Sound Meditation: Sound meditation involves meditating while listening to specific sounds or chants. This can help individuals clear their minds and experience relaxation.

6. Singing Therapy: Singing therapy encourages individuals to use their voices and breath to create sound and release emotional tension. Group singing sessions can promote a sense of community and well-being.

7. Holosync and Hemisync: These are audio-based programs designed to synchronize the brain’s hemispheres and promote relaxation, focus, and personal development.

8. Binaural Beats: Binaural beats involve listening to two slightly different frequencies in each ear, creating a perceived third frequency in the brain. The third frequency is created by the brain’s compensation of subtracting one of the frequencies from the other, resulting in a new frequency. When done right, these beats are believed to promote relaxation, meditation, and altered states of consciousness.

9. Brain wave Entrainment: This technique uses rhythmic auditory stimuli to synchronize brain wave frequencies with external sound patterns. Different frequencies correspond to various mental states, such as deep relaxation, focus, or creativity.

10. Solfeggio Frequencies: Solfeggio frequencies are a set of ancient musical tones believed to have healing properties. These frequencies were rediscovered in the 1970s by Dr. Joseph Puleo. Each frequency is associated with specific emotional or physical healing effects.

11. Neurofeedback with Sound: Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback involves real-time monitoring and feedback of a person’s brainwave activity (electroencephalogram or EEG) to help them recognize and then hopefully self-regulate and improve their cognitive, emotional, and neurological functioning. Sound cues are used to guide individuals toward desired brainwave states.

It’s important to note that while many people find these techniques beneficial for relaxation and stress reduction, the scientific evidence supporting their specific effectiveness varies.

Does Sound Healing Actually Work?

Many people understand that sound is influential across various aspects of the human condition, and can have various effects. The brain welcomes auditory stimulation and will follow patterns presented to the brain as long as the patterns have enough sophistication to manage the reticular activating system. Sound healing is believed to work by resonating with the body’s natural frequencies, helping to restore balance and harmony. It can aid in reducing stress, anxiety, and even alleviate pain in some cases.

How Does Sound Therapy Affect the Brain?

Sound therapy, including neuroacoustic therapy, can have a positive impact on the brain. The human brain oscillates in a frequency range of 41Hz with 5 categories (delta > theta > alpha > beta > gamma). When exposed to specific frequencies and rhythms, the brain responds by shifting into different states of consciousness. For example, certain frequencies can induce a state of deep relaxation, while others may enhance focus and creativity. The brain’s ability to entrain or synchronize with external rhythms is at the core of sound therapy’s effectiveness.

Is Sound Therapy Effective?

Neuroacoustic or sound therapy has potential. Some people report encouraging results, while others experience the opposite. There are many variables, such as the person’s current state, nutrition, sleep, epigenetics, external stressors, and tolerance to specific stimuli that results are inconsistent. However, sound therapy can do no harm, and if someone doesn’t respond well or like the experience, they can simply turn it off.

Is NuCalm Sound Therapy?

No. NuCalm is not sound therapy, it’s patented neuroscience technology that uses complex physics, including a pitch and frequency matrix and non-linear oscillating algorithms. The company invented the word “neuroacoustic” in 2009 to describe this new advancement in safely delivering signals to the brain that the brain follows - called frequency following response. NuCalm uses music as a distraction for the listener to create an enjoyable experience while the underlying neuroacoustic software presents the brain with signals that gently guide the brain to a desired outcome, like a tuning fork. The NuCalm neuroacoustic software tracks are 300 - 500X larger than a song and the complexity of the software ensures that the reticular activating system cannot determine the pattern, thus the listener never builds resistance to the outcome.

The music overlay is composed in the Solfeggio frequencies, primarily 432Hz and 528Hz and simply creates a nice listening experience, while the neuroacoustic software does the work. The NuCalm neuroacoustic software is the world’s ONLY patented, clinically proven method for safely creating a state change in human beings, and has been used across the globe since 2009.

What is Biotuning?

Biotuning is a therapeutic approach that combines principles of neuroacoustic therapy, sound healing, and holistic wellness to promote relaxation, well-being, and self-discovery. It involves the use of sound frequencies, rhythms, and vibrations to facilitate healing and personal transformation.

Can Sound Heal Nerves?

While there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that sound alone can repair damaged nerves or regenerate nerve tissue; sound therapy, and relaxation techniques, including those involving sound, may offer benefits for individuals with nerve-related conditions.

Sounds or certain types of music can help a person relax and calm down, and allow the body’s natural healing properties to work better. Similar to taking a few deep breaths, a person can become calmer when engaged in this activity. While this may complement other efforts, it’s virtually impossible to have consistent results with this practice only.

How Can NuCalm Help?

If you are reading this article, then you may have exhausted other healing options, and be interested in a drug-free and all-natural way to manage stress and anxiety. NuCalm has been helping people across the world since 2009. From cancer patients to trauma victims, pilots to passengers, celebrities to professional athletes, the elite military special forces to veterans, the FBI to SWAT, and everyone in between. NuCalm used to be a $6,000 FDA Class III medical device, but now it’s an easy to use mobile app with affordable monthly and annual subscriptions.

NuCalm may sound too good to be true. We understand. The scientific proof is powerful, and NuCalm’s loyal customers are people we trust and often admire, and that’s great. But the key is, what will NuCalm do for you? This is why we created a free trial, so you can explore the benefits of NuCalm for 7-days in the comfort of your own home. You can try all 6 journeys, which help you manage all 5 brain wave states (deep sleep > healing > creativity > focus > peak performance). Each journey features different music genres and various lengths. Our music is the least interesting part of our neuroacoustic software tracks. It’s the underlying patented neuroscience technology, which relies on physics and algorithms to guide your brain waves to your desired state, that makes this technology safe, reliable, and effective.
