If you’re reading this book, you’ve already
purchased the Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol
which means you are familiar with
tinnitus. Tinnitus is a ringing, buzzing,
or hissing sound in the ears that isn’t
related to any external sound and it is
usually subjective – this just means that
only you can hear it.
Because many cases of tinnitus are
caused or triggered by exposure to loud
sound, you may be surprised to learn
that sound could actually help improve
your tinnitus. I’m not talking about just
any sound however, I’m talking about
binaural beats.

don’t want to wait the full 21 days for
relief. By following this guide and using
binaural beats therapy, you can find relief
from your tinnitus in the short-term
while the results of the protocol build.
So, if you want to reduce your tinnitus
symptoms now while you work through
the Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol to provide
long-term relief from your tinnitus,

Binaural beats therapy is a type of

soundwave therapy in which you listen
to slightly different frequencies with
your left and right ears. Your brain puts
the two tones together and perceives it
as a single tone. This type of therapy is
thought to activate the brain in a unique
way and the frequency of the pattern

What is Binaural Beats Therapy?
The human brain is extremely complex
and it can be difficult to understand.
In fact, scientists and doctors are still
struggling to understand how certain
parts of the brain interact and how
certain things can affect the brain and
its function.
Tinnitus is one of those things that we
are still working to understand.
Though researchers are still unclear
about some of the underlying factors
which seem to be correlated with
tinnitus, the link between hearing loss
and tinnitus is very clear. Hearing loss
comes in many forms and different
frequencies – some people lose the
ability to hear at certain frequencies
while others have trouble hearing
anything at all. Hearing loss can also be
temporary or permanent and may affect
one ear more than it affects another.
3
As you can see, the variables are never-
ending but there is plenty of scientific
evidence linking both noise-induced
hearing loss and age-related hearing loss
with tinnitus.
Acoustic overexposure (or loud noise)
can damage the tiny hair cells in the inner
ear as well as the nerves that transmit
signals from the inner ear to the brain.
When these structures sustain damage,
it changes the way sound signals travel
through the ear and how they are
transmitted to the brain.
Reduced or impaired nerve function
causes an increase in nerve activity
when signals travel between the ear
and the brain. When this increased
activity reaches the brain, it can be
perceived as sound – sound that doesn’t
come from any external source and
which can only be heard by the person
experiencing it. You know if it as tinnitus.
Frequent acoustic overexposure can
lead to compounded damage to the

and How Does it Work?

If you’ve been suffering from tinnitus for

any length of time, you’re probably pretty
stressed out on a regular basis.

Even if it is mild, the constant noise

of tinnitus can be maddening.
Unfortunately, meditation, mindfulness,
and even yoga – activities that are
inner structures of the ear which may
supposed to relax you and help you
develop into permanent hearing loss and
unwind – can be difficult to perform

Binaural beats therapy is a form of

scientific evidence to suggest that it
works. If you want to learn more about

as one and the effect is pretty amazing.

It actually changes your state of mind
(depending on the frequencies) and may
help you achieve a meditative state, get a
better night’s sleep, activate your body’s
immune system and natural healing
process, or it could even help you focus
on work and be more productive.

Does it sound too good to be true?

Well, not only is it true but it is supported

by hard scientific evidence! Binaural
beats were actually discovered all the
way back in 1837 by a physicist named
Heinrich Wilhelm Dove who discovered
that certain frequencies of sound could
actually change your state of mind. For
example, by listening to a tone at 410
hertz in the left ear and 400 hertz in
the right, the brain would automatically
make up the difference and hear a tone
of 10 hertz – this made-up tone is a
binaural beat.3
To put it another way, when you listen
to disparate tones in each ear, your
brainwaves actually sync up with the
missing frequency. From the previous
example, your brainwaves will begin to
resonate at a frequency of 10 hertz.
Specific brainwave frequencies have
been linked to specific benefits. Here’s a
quick summary:4
ƒƒ 0.1hz to 4hz (Delta) – Your brain
is deeply asleep in this state, but
it is important for regeneration
and healing.

ƒƒ 4hz to 8hz (Theta) – In this state,

your brain is somewhere between
sleep and waking – you may
experience it as you start falling
asleep, during deep meditation, or
when lucid dreaming. In this state,
you no longer sense the outside
world, but you become increasingly
aware of your subconscious and
internal world.

To give you a picture of binaural beats

ƒƒ 8hz to 14hz (Alpha) – This
state is perfect for coordination,
focus, and learning because you
are very aware of the present
moment, but you still have time
to process what’s happening
around you instead of reacting
purely on instinct.
ƒƒ 14hz to 30hz (Beta) – In this
state your brain is very engaged
and aware – it is a great state
for problem-solving but not so
much for long-term decision
making or deep introspection
into your actions.
therapy in action, take the example of a
study published in The Hearing Journal.
This study, conducted by Dr. Ben David
M.D., tested the effects of 12 weeks of
binaural beats therapy on 26 subjective
tinnitus patients. At the end of the study,
all 26 patients reported a reduction in
their degree of tinnitus disturbance. To
put it into numerical values, the average
disturbance rating dropped from 5.81 to
3.06 – that’s a reduction of 47%.5
So, what kind of frequency range is the
best when using binaural beats therapy
for tinnitus? The best range is 4hz to 8hz
when brainwaves are in the theta state.
This is the ideal state for relaxation and
stress relief as well as tinnitus reduction.
Keep reading to learn how to engage in
this form of therapy.

ƒƒ 30hz to 100hz (Gamma) – This

state is still somewhat unclear
because brainwaves in this state
don’t translate to feelings of being
active and alert. In this state, the
neurons fire harmoniously to the
point where it feels like a spiritual
experience – it is like a state of
expanded consciousness.

How Do You Do It Properly?

Like any form of therapy, there is a

right way and a wrong way to engage
in binaural beat therapy. If you want to
achieve the maximum result, you need to
do it right.

So, how do you engage in binaural beat

therapy correctly?

Your first goal is to find a quiet place to

complete the therapy where you will be
comfortable and free from distractions.
Being alone at home in your living room
or bedroom is probably a good place to
start. You definitely don’t want to try
binaural beat therapy in a situation where
you are required to focus on something
else such as driving a car or performing
your duties at work.
Remember, the goal of binaural beat
therapy is to put your mind in the same
state of relaxation that you could achieve
through meditation. If you are distracted
by other things, it isn’t going to work.
In addition to finding the right place to
engage in this form of therapy, you also
need to give yourself plenty of time to
do it.
Plan to spend at least 30 minutes with
your binaural beat therapy. It takes your
brain about 7 minutes to entrain or to
sync up, with an audio stimulus and you’ll
spend at least 15 to 30 minutes listening
to the beats to experience the maximum
benefit. It is best to give yourself an open
window of time rather than trying to
squeeze it into your day.
Once you’ve found the right place and
time to engage in binaural beats therapy,
the last step is making sure you have
the right equipment. You’ll need a set
of stereo headphones in order for the
therapy to work. Remember, binaural
beats therapy involves listening to
slightly different tones with each ear,
so you need a set of headphones to
ensure that each ear hears a distinct
and different tone. Your brain will do the
work of putting them together.

Finally, be patient with yourself and with

the therapy!

Anything worth having is worth working

for, right? So, if you want to gain the
maximum benefit from binaural beats
therapy, you may need to work at it
and engage in a few sessions to get the
hang of it.

of the little parts work together. This
is especially beneficial if you tend to be
predominantly a “left-brain” or “right
brain” thinker and you want to expand
your horizons.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly,

Binaural beats therapy can be used for a
variety of applications, but we’re going to
summarize the top three before telling
you how to do it for yourself.
First, binaural beats therapy is ideal
of putting your mind in a state of
meditation without having to actually
meditate. In a state of meditation, you
can focus on something other than
your tinnitus and you can either simply
enjoy the bliss of simply “being” or you
can use the opportunity to do some
self-discovery.
binaural beats therapy can relieve
stress. Tinnitus is a frustrating condition
because it is often a constant companion
that affects your daily life but, because
no one else can hear it, it feels like it
isn’t a “real” problem. With binaural
beats therapy you can achieve a state of
relaxation that you can just sit and enjoy,
or it can help you hear past your tinnitus,
so you can enjoy other activities without
the constant din of your tinnitus.6
So, how do you give this amazing
therapy a try for yourself? Keep reading
to find out.

Second, binaural beats therapy can help

you improve your thinking and your
ability to focus. If you’re having trouble
concentrating at work or in school due
to your tinnitus, engaging in binaural
beats therapy might help! During the
therapy, the right frequency will create
a synchronistic link between the two
hemispheres of your brain, helping you
to think more holistically – you’ll be
able to see the big picture and how all

Conclusion
If you suffer from tinnitus, you are not
alone! There are roughly 50 million
Americans who suffer from tinnitus
on a regular basis. Even if you are one
of the 20 million who identify their
tinnitus as severe or disabling, your case
is still not hopeless. The Tonaki Tinnitus
Protocol was designed specifically for
people like you!

Whether your tinnitus is mild and

occasional or severe and constant, the
Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol is the “secret to
silence” you’ve been looking for.
Unfortunately, it will take some time
for the protocol to do its work. If you’ve
read the book, you’ll remember that the
true underlying cause of your tinnitus is
damage to the myelin sheath protecting
the auditory nerve. It took time for that
myelin to wear down, and it will take time
to build it back up. In testing the protocol,
most people experienced benefits after
21 days, and you could as well!
But what do you do in the meantime?
On top of all that, engaging in binaural
beats therapy can help relieve your
tinnitus symptoms while the protocol
works inside your ears to repair the
myelin sheath.
The best thing about binaural beat
therapy is that you can do it any time and
anywhere. When you’re first trying it out,
it may be a good idea to set aside some
quiet time to practice it. Once you get
the hang of it, however, you can simply
throw on a pair of headphones, press the
play button, and go about your day.
