What is The Institute of BioAcoustic Biology & Sound Health?

The initiation of Sound Health began in 1991 by Sharry Edwards as an educational research organization dedicated to the study of low frequency analog sound and its potential to influence human health.

 

During the exploratory studies, Edwards pioneered a unique technology that falls within a field of complementary medicine that has been designated “Human BioAcoustics.” This innovative discipline combines Vocal Profiling through voice spectral analysis and the use of low frequency analog sound presentation to assist the body to support optimal form and function. BioAcoustics is to be considered a complementary modality.

Who is Sharry Edwards?

Sharry Edwards, MEd., has been accused of being too scientific by some, too esoteric by others. In actuality, she is a bridge between both fields of inquiry.  Sharry is the acknowledged pioneer in the emerging field of Vocal Profiling using BioAcoustic Biology.  For many years she has provided the leading-edge research to show the voice as a holographic representation of the body that can be used to change the face of medicine. Her work has been the subject of several documentaries and she is the recipient of the Scientist of the year award by the New Frontiers of Science.  She is a faculty emeritus of the Capital University of Integrative Medicine and has more than 30 years of BioAcoustic research experience.

 

Sharry asks that we imagine a future in which we can be individually identified and maintained through the use of frequency based biomarkers that keep us healthy and emotionally balanced. Her work at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology has shown that we can each have dominion over those frequencies by individual mind management or a simple remote control that is completely programmable. Using the unique techniques of Vocal Profiling and evaluation, emotional as well as physiological issues can be revealed and addressed.

 

Her work with the human voice reveals that people who share similar traumas, stresses, diseases, toxicities…share similar, if not identical,  vocal anomalies.  She brings together ancient knowledge with modern ideas of harmonics and frequency relationship theories to show that math can be used as a form of predictive, diagnostic and curative foundation for wellness.  Through entrainment of the frequency grids of the brain, the body can be programmed to support its own optimal form and function.

What is a Voice Print?

A Voice Print (sometimes referred to as a Vocal Print) is the graphic representation of the voice that is used to identify potential physical and emotional health ailments in a non-invasive approach.

What are Tone Trials?

Tone trials = the process of identifying and utilizing the most appropriate tones for your issues after you have had your voice print analyzed by a BioAcoustic Practitioner. It is literally a trial period where a BioAcoustic Practitioner works with you to identify the frequencies to best assist your health concerns that you specify in your Clinical Application Form (your three main health concerns).

What is a BioAcoustic Practitioner/BARA?

A BioAcoustic Practitioner, also known as a BioAcoustic Research Associate (BARA), is a person who is fully trained to support human optimal form and function using BioAcoustic Biology. BioAcoustic Practitioners can compile, understand, and use BioMarker data to reveal potential root cause for each client they take on. Practitioners also have access to Sound Health’s BioMarker frequencies in order to assist clients. You may become a BioAcoustic Practitioner once you complete our Professional Level course.*

*Practitioners must follow protocols for data collection in order to assist BioAcoustic Research Associates.

How can I find a BioAcoustic Practitioner near me and what do they charge?

You can find a complete list of our BioAcoustic Practitioners, as well as their contact information, on our website. You can find the list here https://soundhealthoptions.com/bioacoustic-practitioners/ or go to our menu, under the “Clinical Services” tab, click “BioAcoustic Practitioners.”

How do Tone Trials work?

After a Voice Print is capturedcomputer analysis is used to determine the most appropriate frequencies that will be evaluated during tone trials. These frequencies are established using information supplied by the referring physician-reported issues from the client, data from voice prints, comparisons against other client voice prints who have similar issues and a client’s responses during sound presentation.*

*Sound presentation, BioAcoustically speaking, is the delivery of analog-sequenced frequency sets, via headphones or a speaker, that are individually constructed for a client using information gleaned from a Voice Print by a trained BioAcoustic Practitioner.

 

Once a BioAcoustic Practitioner has identified the frequencies to be testedthe next step is to determine the most suitable form of feedback that will assist in the establishment of the appropriate tones to be used for long term sound presentation. During tone trials, objective as well as subjective feedback is used to refine the formula sets. Positive and negative emotional physiological responses are used to assist in the establishment of specific frequencies, assembled in the appropriate combinations, for the proper amount of time.

 

Clients are then situated in a suitable position for testing; this can be standing, sitting or lying down. Individual tones are provided to the client for a duration of 30-60 seconds. The client is then asked to evaluate the tones in terms of any physical or psychological reactions they may be experiencing. Frequency techniques include a variety of objective measurements. In the case of muscle involvement, the tones may be used for up to two minutes during the testing phase of sound presentation. Data is gathered as each sound is presented and directly after each tone is concluded for biofeedback reactions. Often these clinical tone trials are videotaped and/or observed by BioAcoustic Trainees to be used for educational purposes. A client’s privacy is always protected unless specifically waived.

 

The goal of the tone trials is to determine the most appropriate combinations of tones that can be programmed into a small, computer-like analog frequency generator, called a Square Two™ Tone Box, that has been specifically designed to provide programmed long term BioAcoustic sound presentation.

 

For research purposes, the Square Two™ Tone Box is programmed using the resulting data from the tone trials. Tone boxes are generally loaned to a client (for 1-2 days) to provide an opportunity to evaluate the responses. If warranted, the client is offered the opportunity to purchase a tone box for self-use.​

Software and Tone Boxes

What is the difference between Dedicated and Programmable Tone Boxes?

A Dedicated Tone Box has frequencies already installed to help with a specific ailment. These tone boxes will work for everyone – no assessment or analysis is required. Dedicated Tone Boxes come with a pair of high-quality, low-frequency, titanium headphones that you can plug into the Tone Box and easily tune-in, wherever you are, to vibrational relief.

 

A Programmable Tone Box (otherwise known as the Square Two™ Tone Box) can have frequencies programmed into the box depending on the specific needs of a client. In other words, it is specifically designed to provide a programmed, long-term BioAcoustic sound presentation. Programmable Tone Boxes are only available to certified BioAcoustic Practitioners or to those who attend the 5-Day Professional Seminar. Practitioners can upload the corresponding tones for their clients into the Tone Boxes; new tones can be uploaded as the need arises. Practitioners may lend the boxes out to clients.
