What evidence is there that we hear Ultra Sonic audio?

[Shannon]

Hi,
This post isn't about hypnosis audio here but in general, those you can buy on Amazon too [won't name names but you know the popular subliminal ones]. I've been listening to self and subliminal hypnosis sessions or the last 2 weeks. Amongst that are ultra sonic audio sessions. I've been looking everywhere for actual evidence to say that although the ear drum doesn't register these frequencies on an audible level, it still transmits it to the brain, where the subconscious is subjected to it. Even then, if it can't understand it consciously, then how can the brain decipher the words into English? I'm not saying it's bogus, but I've found no evidence, either pro or against that it actually works. All I've come across is alot of maybe's but nothing factual or scientific.

I'm also dubious that mp3 format would retain these frequencies as it's a lossy codec. It's designed to delete all data for the sake of file space. If hypnosis files were in lossless flac or m4a then perhaps it would be more plausible. Anyway I'd much like some input from other people about this.

I'm very open minded but am worried it might all be a placebo. I would like to hear others thoughts on this.
Thank you.

You aren't the first, and you doubtless will not be the last to bring these points up.

The evidence that I have seen that we can "hear" ultrasonic audio is as follows:

• Some people report being annoyed because they can hear it.
  
• Most people respond with physical symptoms of illness (headache, nausea, irritability) if they listen to it too loud.
  
• Subliminals built on it work.
  

I don't know if hearing is the right word, because I haven't yet been able to figure out the process by which they work myself. The best explanation I have found so far is that they are vibrating inner ear hairs, but even that has been intelligently disputed a time or two. How does it work? I don't know. Does it work? Absolutely.


As for mp3 format, it is a highly configurable format in which to record. The Microsoft way is to assume everyone is a moron, and then make everything as if that is true. It is much easier to make software that way, since then software companies don't have to deal with people who don't know what's going on as much. You doubtless are referring to the "I'll do everything for you" approach that results, which assumes you are only interested in minimizing file size, and couldn't appreciate high quality audio if you tried.

But for someone using professional audio software, as I do, there are many options not available to the typical end user. Such as the ability to specify the frequency bandwidth and control the amount of data that is lost.

Doesn't it seem likely that if I was offering programs that were ultrasonic, compressed as mp3 and they clipped off the pertinent data, that we wouldn't be in business very long? Believe me, people would notice. Placebo effect would far and away not support the reputation of such a business if we did stuff like that. And having a public forum on top of it would be an absolute disaster!

Part of why we have this forum is so that people can see unbiased user opinions and experiences without having to have faith in us to be honest before they try it. We are honest, but many people have been so badly treated by others in this field that they assume everyone is a scam artist. So, we do everything in our power to show you that we are not, and that our stuff works.

And then we offer very generous guarantees and refund policies. Just read the forum and ask around. The guys and gals will speak for themselves.
