Binaural Beats Safety: What You Need to Know

Binaural beats are generally safe for most people, but understanding volume and frequency limits is crucial for your hearing health. Proper usage ensures you reap the benefits without risk.

Volume Guidelines

The most important safety rule is to keep the volume below 85 decibels. Prolonged exposure to high volumes can damage your hearing. Binaura allows you to monitor your volume levels and set limits, ensuring you stay within safe parameters even during long listening sessions.

Duration Limits

While listening to binaural beats is generally safe, it is recommended to take breaks. Continuous exposure to any sound can fatigue the brain. Using the app's timed session features helps ensure you don't listen for hours on end without a pause.
