7.83hz I’ve seen it called the Earth’s heartbeat, and described as the hum that’s still there when all other “noise” or sound is gone. I won’t act like I know what I’m talking about, I’ll just copy/paste this little bit and move on: “… our atmosphere is continuously resonating with a radio frequency of 7.83hz.” Do whatever you want with that information. I’ve been trying to find pure versions of it online, because I think it’s so faint as to be almost imperceptible, which means people put recordings up that feature other acoustic elements mixed in with it, like keyboard drones. Some versions are soothing, some irritating, but one thing is certain; I have benefitted greatly from piping it into my earbuds over the last few weeks. For those who don’t know; I suffer from a chronic, debilitating (for me) condition called misophonia. I have irrational, over the top responses to certain sounds. It puts me in almost constant fight-or-flight and causes great stress. It has effected everything in my life, from where I can live, to where I can work, whether or not I go outside at certain times of the day, and so on. I was already antisocial and introverted, but misophonia makes it nearly impossible for me to live anything close to a normal existence. I’ve been wearing wireless earbuds and playing loud, frenetic music to cover up / over the sounds of the world around me, but as you can imagine that can get overwhelming at times. I get headaches, and even start to hate the very thing that is keeping me from going a different kind of insane. So this 7.38hz is a blessing. I can listen to it for hours because after the first 10 minutes it almost completely drops into the background. It might be playing loudly in my ears, but there are no caustic tones or thudding percussion to irritate or cause discomfort. Just the same soothing tone that never ends… I’m making versions where I add white noise, and down the road I plan on finding some audiobooks that are educational and adding them to the mix. It can all fall in the background, I won’t have to actively listen, and I might still learn a few things by osmosis. The point is to help myself remain calm, and sane, and aid in making me a more bearable person to be around. I am continuously searching for help dealing with misophonia, and this has been a very beneficial step in the right direction.  |
