Based on the results of the vocal profile, sound formulas are constructed and presented to the individual using a Self Management Audio Device (SMAD), a specialized low frequency analog tone generator, in a procedure described as tone trials. Brain wave oscillations have been measured as a range from 0 – 64 cycles per second. Tones are constructed in this range for bioacoustic sound presentation and are referred to as Brain Wave Multiples (BWM). Each tone formula is presented for 30 to 60 seconds, or in the case of muscle involvement, two minutes. Biofeedback equipment such as pulse oximeter and skin temperature gauge are used to gather objective data such as pulse rate, heart rate, temperature fluctuations, brain wave and muscle response, and resolution of symptoms. A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to collect subjective feedback allowing individual reactions to be rated with minimal constraints. Once appropriate sound formulas are ascertained, they are programmed into a Square 2 tone box, a portable analog frequency generator, allowing an individual to listen privately through headphones or subwoofer.

Other sound delivery methods such as an underwater speaker are also being investigated. Just as learning the words of a song or the spelling of a word is accomplished through repetition, repeated exposure to the frequency formulas is intended to entrain the body’s innate rhythmical scheme of vibrational patterns. Harmonics of the sound formula are targeted as the operative factor. Human hearing spans eleven octaves from 20 to 20,000 cycles per second and each shade of sound frequency appears to represent a precise nutrient, biochemical, structure, muscle, protein, genome, toxic compound, or pathogen.[4] These frequency representations are known in bioacoustic therapy as frequency equivalents (FE).
