Since the influx of science and technology, we are exploring new dimensions in every aspect of life every day. One of them is binaural beats. YouTube is the most comfortable medium for finding thousands of binaural beats with a single click.

 

 What are Binaural Beats?

 Binaural beats are an audible frequency that occurs with the combination of higher and lower note frequencies causing auditory illusion, and brain cells, which are called neurons, start to send messages to the brain in the same illusionary frequency. 

 

 What is the purpose of Binaural Beats?

 These frequencies' producers claim miraculous results for listeners ranging from the human body's healing to positive changes in behavior. Though there are not many scientific data to put here as evidence, these beats of different wavelengths compel the brainwaves to send other signals to the brain to perform specific action depending on the wavelength's frequency.

 

 Who Should Never Use Binaural Beats?

 

 Seizure Patients: 

 People who have already seizures should never use binaural beats since only a small change in brain waves can cause seizures and cause severe problems for them.

 

 Mental Patients: 

 People with mental disorders like multiple personality disorder or other psychic ailments can be poorly affected by binaural beats as brainwave change occurs listening to them.

 
 Heart Patients: 

 People who have heart problems and especially the ones who are using pacemakers to normalize their heart rhythm are exposed to heart attack danger using binaural beats.

 

 Infants: 

 Infants have an underdeveloped brain and listening to high-frequency music can damage their neurons resulting in seizures or other mental abnormality.

 
 Working Individuals: 

 Individuals doing any work which involves heavy weight lifting or focusing should avoid listening to binaural beats as they may cause a trance-like state and distract the individual completely. 

 

 

 Some Tips for using Binaural Beats:

 

 Select Frequency Carefully:

 Be careful while selecting the binaural beats frequency if you are new to them. Since you are not habitual of high frequencies, you should choose a lower one and move gradually towards the higher ones.

 

Never Go For Random Selection: 

 Stick to a particular frequency for few days and then move towards the other instead of random selection daily. Listening to random beats will confuse your mind, and you may not get the potential benefit of them.

 

Choose A Specific Time Duration: 

 Don't listen to binaural beats all day or all night. It would help if you chose a specific time for them as an excess of everything is terrible.

 

Choose Genuine Producers:
