RE: Isochronic tones for deep, deep sleep...with nice cello ambience

in #music-trail4 years ago

I love your stuff Jesse, I just can't find a way to have it playing while I'm trying to sleep.
My computers all make too many lights. If I leave the one in the living room playing loud enough for me to hear in the bedroom, I'm afraid it will disturb my neighbors.
I AM working on it. Good Stuff, upvoted and resteemed

Jerry, maybe use headphone and plug it into your cell phone. A bluetooth speaker also works well.

Sorry, you're kidding, right? I have problems going to sleep, even with medication and a sound conditioner, there is no way I could fall asleep with earplugs or (GASP) Headphones on my head?
I Have tried having a small bluetooth device plugged into my phone, but if I turn off the screen (the light) stops the sound.
I am still working on it my friend.

You can always turn the phone screen so it's facing the table. I know plenty of people, including myself that can fall asleep with headphones. Or as you are falling asleep, take the headphones off and go write to sleep. At least that works for some people.

I guess maybe you don't know my history.
!. I have tinnitus very badly, it is like I'm living in a room full of tuning forks, all on Middle C, but VERY slightly out of tune with each other. 24/7/365. Hence the need for my sound conditioner; it helps to blank out extraneous sounds, knocks on the floor/ceiling from upstairs for instance.
That works very well as far as it goes.

  1. I also have moderately profound hearing loss, the VA has given me 3 pairs of HIGH DOLLAR hearing aids. They won't stay in my ears, so they made custom ear molds.
    Using those, it is like I have both fingers in my ears, so that I end up reading lips.
    My hearing loss if mainly in a very narrow, very specific frequency range, hence my ability to perform and tune pianos. I just can't tune the high end, unless I stick my head INTO the high end while Im turning that end, and even then it is frustratingly slow, and since I can't really hear that part, I don't really know if I got it right.
  2. I've done that with the screen, turning my phone face down. I couldn't lay it COMPLETELY face down because I am concerned it will cause the Backlights for the screen to over heat. So I laid it face down over some wires on my desk, about 10 ft from my bed.
    That worked ok, but if I rolled over and happened to look, I could see it. My OCD wouldn't let me look away, and I had to get up and turn it off.
    All the other tiny lights from power strips and things on standby, I have either put out of my line of sight, or covered.

So you see, mine is a complex situation. And I am working on it. One solution would be to purchase a THIRD sound system, like I have for this computer, and for my bedside sound-conditioner. They are around $35
Used to be where I could turn on a radio and just listen to that music turned down low (this was years ago before the Tinnitus became and issue) and I would wake up when a song I had marked out that I wanted to learn.
I would be charting chords in my head when I woke up. Came in very handy at times.

Have you tried tinnitus relief videos on YouTube. I have a girlfriend that says it helps her.

No, not yet.
