I once listened to a CD that claimed to have densely packed thousands of messages per minute, and after a few hours of listening I experienced quite an overload and it took me a week to recover. People have different sensitivity levels, and for some a normal speaking rate works just fine.
How I do what I do is and will remain a trade secret. Know that my 5th Gen programs are designed for the actual peak input and processing capacity of your ears and brain, not some arbitrary number (thousands of messages per minute) that seems good for marketing. I am the only person who has taken the time to figure out exactly what this peak value is, and I use it very specifically because I know that beyond this level, the result is rapidly increasing mental exhaustion with decreasing program effectiveness. Since this peak value is universal, and well within the brain's ability to acclimate to, you'll be fine.
Thousands of messages per minute is indeed overload. With my 5th Gen programs, the instructions say a minimum of 8 hours and a maximum of 21. For the impatient, 12 to 16 hours a day is usually the maximum that can be handled without eventual exhaustion; for those who are not so impatient, 8 to 12 hours a day is fine. You should have no troubles with 8 to 12 hours a day.
If you were to attempt to use a 5th gen program playing at the same time as another 5th gen program, you would notice that within a few minutes, you would feel mental exhaustion and spaciness kicking in. That's overload, and that's why I say to never do that.
I can get mental exhaustion and spaciness from one 5g program sometimes.
