Research suggests that binaural beats offer multiple benefits such as improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and overall well-being.

Binaural beats are created when two tones of different frequencies are played separately into each ear through headphones, leading the brain to perceive a third tone—the binaural beat. The binaural beat is the difference between the two frequencies.

Used since the 1970s, binaural beats have become popular for promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They are used therapeutically for improving sleep, enhancing focus and concentration, reducing anxiety, improving mood, managing pain, enhancing cognition, and for meditation and spiritual practices.

How Binaural Beats Differ From Other Sounds

Binaural beats are processed differently from regular sounds because they are not actual sound waves but an auditory phenomenon created by the brain. Regular sounds are processed as physical sound waves entering the ears, then interpreted by the brain as a single auditory signal.
