The effect you describe appears to be explained by the theory that the louder the ultrasonic subliminal is, the faster and more obviously it works. This is also seen clearly with the use of the Type A subliminals. Using it on speakers just isn't getting the same volume apparently, or the same effective volume, since headphones sit right on your ears.

Hmmm, I listen to the ultrasonic at a relatively low volume. When I play normal music to test the volume it seems incredibly low, but music is composed of a broad range of frequencies which might make for an overall lower volume. Compared to the ultrasonic which is composed of a relatively small range of frequency, I think it would have the effect of coming in much "louder". This is how I rationalize listening at a low volume anyway lol. But any louder and I do tend to get a headache, so I believe the volume of ultrasonics differ from regular music being played.

Now either my sensitivity prevents me from listening at a higher volume or I have good hearing. This is completely random, but I can also hear the echo location bats do.

If I were to switch to the stream version and listened at a louder volume do you think I would derive more benefit from it? The only reason I don't use the stream version is because it's not very easy falling asleep to it, any sound at night prevents me from sleeping well. But if it's a matter of effectiveness I'd be willing to compromise. My problem I guess is differentiating between sensitivity vs good hearing, and on top of that ultrasonics don't even seem to be heard through the inner ear in the conventional sense so I guess I really don't have a clue how they work.

Switching to masked would not produce much difference, since masked relies on volume differencing, so the volume is already much lower.
