Sound Spas

Sound therapy has gained in popularity over the last few years, and is used for treating everything from stress, to tinnitus to concentration problems, including people who have ADD or ADHD.

The primary benefits to sound therapy, are the ways in which sounds can mask other noises, while soothing and calming, and providing stimulus to the brain. Think back to when you were in college or high school. Were you one of those people who couldn’t study unless the radio was on? This is a common example of why sound therapy is gaining recognition for what it can offer people. Your being able to study, depended on eliminating distractions from the environment and allowing your brain to focus on the task at hand.

This was accomplished by providing an “acceptable” noise, whose presence either overrode, or blended with objectionable noises, to render them harmless. This is called “masking”, or using “white noise”. White noise is the full range of sounds that the human ear can pick up. Not every person will be sensitive to each level of sound, but the ones they do perceive, will help to mask sounds at other levels, which they don’t want to listen to, such as the very irritating tinnitus or ringing in the ears that is caused by temporary conditions like drug reactions, but also by more permanent things like damage to the ear drum. When the full range of white noise is fed to a person at once, it effectively blocks all individual sounds at a specific level, and removes the annoyance or distractions.

White noise as basic sound, is heard differently by every individual, and can be expressed as a rushing, sighing, rustling, or swishing sound. Because the perception is different, not every person will respond to one sound, in the same way. However, much of the focus on using sound therapy at home, has been on providing a range of natural sounds that people find acceptable and even pleasant, to help them screen out the noises that irritate them and make them edgy.

This type of simple therapy has been found very beneficial, not only to adults suffering from stress, but also for babies who are chronically fussy, and unable to fall asleep. Thus, the boom in “sound” products for creating an environment that people find peaceful and relaxing, including such things as table top water fountains.

Sound spas have found a niche in this market, and are making great strides, whether they are the basic sound machines, or incorporate an aromatherapy element as well. HoMedics sound spas are one of the combination type units, which contain not only a selection of natural sounds, but an alarm clock and AM/FM radio as well, making them perfect for the working person who needs their sleep and can’t get it.

Featuring the sounds of ocean waves, rain, rainforest, thunder, summer night and waterfall, the sound spas allow you to mask the noise from outside the bedroom, and inside your mind, producing a state of relaxation that is conducive to a good night’s rest. And in the morning, you have the option of waking to music with your alarm, or the same soothing sounds.

If stress is a problem for you, and you need help in creating an environment that will enable you to let go of the day’s tensions, consider sound spas as a viable alternative to using medications, or going to work tired.
