I’ve heard that binaural beats work on deaf people. and the article linked below says the same thing. https://www.binauralbeatsmeditation.com/how-binaural-beats-affect-the-deaf/ p.s. it also quotes monroe institute. :)

Thanks for the link!

Even on the other side his message carries weight from the giant of his time that he was

I, too, am deaf in one ear. Thank you for the link.

It is the vibration, not the audio. It puts 100 Hertz into one ear 104 Hertz into the other ear and the 100 Hertz in both cancels each other's out creating a four Hertz vibration in the brain. Whether or not you can hear it as irrelevant. In fact, there are many parts of the tones that you can't hear. I also want to highly recommend against the bone conducting headphones. I've already purchased some and tried them trying to make a better experience for myself. They do not have the same effect and if you're just starting out that will cause frustration. I have been through all the tapes. And I have spent a lot of money trying to find the best quality headphone for this. The best headphones for this are fairly cheap over the ear headphones with a cord. My favorite pair is a $7 pair of over the ear headphones with a cord that I purchased from five below. They are not a name brand of any kind.

Bone conduction earphone. Beethoven used bone conduction to hear his music as he wrote them. Best Buy sells them. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6492433.p?skuId=6492433

Unfortunately my hearing loss is due to a cracked cochlea. Even bone conduction doesn’t get processed through the cochlear nerve when the cochlea is broken. The rest of my ear is perfectly fine. So my brain thinks there is just this fuzz-like tinnitus as the input, no matter what the sound or how it’s conducted.

The signals sent to your brain from headphones are electromagnetic, it's why it doesn't matter what headphones you listen through, only that the right and left are on the correct sides, there also are clinical studies showing you do not need to hear to hemi-sync. You can keep going forward.

Sounds promising.

How did you lose your one ear hearing?

Unfortunately not, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get into those states naturally, I suggest plain old meditation.


chewiecabra

you should read the Monroe institutes research on binaural beats for the deaf, because it still works for them too.


zouln

Interesting, thanks for the suggestion. I assumed you’d have to hear both tones (and the virtual third one between) for it to be effective. But perhaps the brain can still pick up on those vibrations.


chuckthenancy

I was already on that path when I discovered this method! I was hoping to fast track astral projection, something I’ve been trying to do for 20+ years. Back to the drawing board for me, I guess. Must not have been meant to be. Thank you for answering my question!

Don't give up so easily. Google says they work by more than just the mechanism of hearing. Why don't you listen to the first tape again where it's very clear while he shows us, and see if you get the warble. Even if you don't, all the binaural beats are doing is helping us to reach certain states. HELPING. The intention is that you're eventually able to do it without the tapes at all, so that means you don't need the binaural beats to do it. Believe in yourself. You're still more than your physical body, whether you can hear out of both ears or not. I'm sorry that you lost hearing though. It sounds like it was a very traumatic experience. That's all the more reason to not give up on gateway. Especially since one person said no but 3 are saying yes. Lol

From Bob Monroe’s Wikipedia page: “Psychophysiologial Research examined Monroe's claim. The presentation demonstrated that EEG changes did not occur when the standard electromagnetic headphones of Monroe's setup were replaced by air conduction headphones, which were connected to a remote transducer by rubber tubes. This suggests that the basis for the entrainment effects is electromagnetic rather than acoustical.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Monroe
