How Can You Provide Sound Therapy
Balance?
It is important to monitor and adjust the room’s
atmosphere. This can be accomplished using
such instruments as soothing sound machines and
relaxing music. Avoid overuse of television or radio
as the noise; information and tones can negatively
affect the atmosphere of the room. Their
content may also include abrupt loud noises and
sounds from commercials or other programs that can
negatively affect body functions and create mental
discord.
Family members and caregivers who are directly
involved in patient care can take an active role as
and be a positive source of harmony and comfort by
dealing with negative sounds, which are one of the
major causes of patient distress during a traumatic
time. Being proactive in this process will also help
family members feel a part of a wellness process by
actively participating in the care of their loved
one.
Controlling environmental sound is important for
peace, comfort, and harmony for
caregivers, patient, and the homebound family
member. Sound therapy is a way of balancing sound
waves and frequencies in the environment outside the
body with the internal waves and frequencies of the
human body. Sound therapy makes a difference
in the quality of life.
