exercise, steam and ice were used in the hopes of relieving the pain and getting Tyler back into the game.
Word reached the Sound Health Research Center of Tyler’s injury and they offered to help. “We were skeptical but Tyler described his pain at a high 6; we were desperate to find him some help,” explains Tyler’s Mother, Cindy.
The evaluation of Tyler’s vocal frequencies took about 30 minutes and came back with information that indicated that Tyler had two thigh muscle frequencies in stress. Ambient sound was presented to Tyler for about a minute; Tyler’s parents were elated and amazed when he reported that his pain was diminishing.
One additional sound was presented to Tyler, after which he was asked to step up three short steps. The look on his face was astonishment. The pain was gone. His parents didn’t understand what was happening, but it certainly was a relief to them that he was out of pain and able to walk normally again.
Tyler ran down the steps as he and his parents were leaving the building. Sound Health representatives cautioned Tyler that he needed to keep using the sounds until he checked with his doctor the next day.
Dementia – Many years before the symptoms of dementia occur, the architecture of dementia can be seen in a vocal print. Several types of dementia have been evaluated: Alzheimer’s, Lewy Proteins, Parkinson’s and diabetic dementia. This is consistent and has been confirmed over the 30-year tenure of Sound Health Research. These issues are generally environmental, biochemical, or genetic, mostly dealing with nutrient and/or biochemical pathways.
Stroke Recovery – typical results may vary. This is just one of many.
In November my husband, Hector, suffered a stroke. Immediately we could see that there was damage on the right side of his body. His leg dragged, his arm was limp, he could not form a fist, the right side of his mouth was drawn downward, and he could barely speak.
Working with speech a therapist for fifteen months, he made good progress, but only regained about 60% of his speaking abilities.
Hector worked with a Physical Therapist and a rehab clinic to focus on fine motor skills. His body responded well to the therapies, and he regained about 80% physically. Emotionally, Hector was depressed that although he was better physically, he still could not carry on a conversation. He was only able to speak in five- and six-word sentences and often could not find the correct words to convey real meaning. He started counseling with a psychologist to sort out the issues because of the stroke.
By June, Hector was nineteen months from the stroke. His cardiologist had told us that at twenty-four months the average stroke victim has maxed out his physical recovery. Aware that the two-year date his family was desperate for suggestions as to anything more that we could be doing. Anyone who knew us knew that we were grasping at straws. In August an acquaintance of Hector’s told him about Sound Health Research. In September we had an appointment with our state rehab counselor who informed us that the State would pay for the therapy.
Hector's appointment quickly moved to a vocal profiling sound assessment specifically-designed software. Hector was asked to recite the alphabet. He did so, haltingly, missing two letters. Low-frequency sounds were played ambiently as Hector was asked to recite the alphabet again. This time he recited it with confidence, missing one letter, but stopped to correct himself before continuing. Hector and I were giddy with the results.
It is thirteen months since then. Hector has his own sound box specifically constructed for his needs. He has an amplifier so that he can listen to the tones several hours a day while watching TV, visiting or reading. His tones have changed, and his progress continues. His speech is 80-85% recovered. He can converse with people and talk on the telephone. Although the stroke damaged many brain cells, the sound therapy continues to stimulate his cells to find alternative paths to allow his speech to improve.
