World Renowned Hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones explains why he uses Binaual technology in his recordings.

Why Binaural technology is so effective

The sound engineer worked together with a doctor to create the best possible binaural sound experience. My hypnotherapy CDs and MP3s contain the same binaural technology used by the Monroe Institute and other researchers for many years. Binaural beats (or tones) were discovered in 1839 by the German scientist, H. W. Dove. Humans possess the ability to detect the subtle phase shift of sounds arriving in one ear slightly before arriving in the other. This phase difference gives us directional information and allows us to determine the actual location and origin of a sound. The sensation of binaural beats occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar phase relationships or frequencies are heard by the listener. The brain detects phase or frequency differences between the sounds. the brain then combines the two signals producing an internal representation of a third sound called the binaural beat. The binaural beat resulting in the brain is the phase or frequency difference between the two sounds.

FAQ: What if I have a hearing loss?
A slight hearing loss in one or both ears does not reduce the effectiveness of binaural beats. It is not necessary to actually hear the binaural beats in order to relax the brain to the desired state; therefore, audible beats are not used on my recordings.

FAQ: How should I play the recordings?
Any good CD player will work well. The MP3 audio files are just as effective as the CDs and will run on any computer or MP3 ready player such as an iPod.

FAQ: Do I need to use headphones?
Headphones are not required, but they do eliminate background noise and allow for a more focused session. If used, those that completely cover the ears are recommended. A well-fitting pair of ear buds will work fine if there is not a lot of background noise
