Can sound therapy benefit people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or tone deaf? In this episode, we explore how the body receives vibration beyond the ears through body conduction, bone conduction, the nervous system, and cellular response. Inspired by the story of a deaf girl singing through vibrations felt in her feet and the work of profoundly deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie, this conversation reveals how the body listens, feels, and responds to therapeutic frequencies. Sound healing is not only about hearing — it is about vibration, sensation, regulation, and whole-body awareness.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 I witnessed a deaf girl singing by responding
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 to vibrational patterns she felt through her
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 feet. How does this help us understand that therapeutic
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13 frequencies such as sofragio tones work through
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 vibration and nervous system response, allowing
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 sound therapy to benefit people who are deaf
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22 or tone deaf by engaging the body, not just the
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 ears? Oh, what a great question. And that reminds
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31 me, Ida, about one of the... best, most amazing
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 percussionists in the world who plays with orchestras.
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38 She has an incredible TED Talk, is Evelyn Glennie.
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42 She's profoundly deaf. And when she's performing
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 on the drums, there's so many different percussion
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49 instruments. She's so gifted. She performs in
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 bare feet with the orchestras because she feels
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 the vibration of the orchestra through her feet.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 And this is such a great question. For those
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 who have difficulty hearing and like the sound
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 being pointed to those cells in the Petri dish,
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09 sound goes through you. So we listen through
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 body conduction. We listen through bone conduction.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17 Every cell actually has receptors for sound.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21 And there's new research from the Niels Bohr
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25 Institute in Denmark that says a nerve cell,
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30 uh carries sound not chemical electricity in
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 it. Our nervous system works first on sound,
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36 which then creates the electrical impulses to
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 send messages to the body. Sound is how our nervous
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 system really works. It's a sound wave called
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46 a soliton. So there's so much of you that is
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50 already listening, although we can't, if we're
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 not able to listen with the ears and its connection
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 to the brain, your body listens with every part
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01 of it. and sends different kinds of signals to
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 the brain to interpret those what that vibration
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06 is so fascinating
