One thing I'd like to point out is that volumetrically, the ultrasonic is the same volume as the masking tracks. There is no "20 decibel difference" between masking track and ultrasonic. At most it should be a 1 to 3 dB difference, if there is any at all. The issue is that certain people hear ultrasonic better or worse than others.
My suggestion to try slowly working your way up to higher volumes stands, but if that is not helpful, then you're going to have to rely on Masked format, and if that does not work for you, there's not much else I can suggest. If you believe that going louder would damage your hearing, then obviously don't go higher. However, I use ultrasonic at 12-13-14-15 out of 15 on my cell phone, specifics depending on subliminal in use and circumstances, and almost never go lower than that. It has not, to the best of my knowledge, damaged my hearing. I know I'm not alone in this. So that leaves me confused.
I wasn't talking about ultrasonic vs. masked file volume difference, Shannon. It was on the hybrid file, that's what I said. Yes the "top end" of them all is the same, I was talking specifically the hybrid where the difference in format volume lies, since he quoted my post from long ago talking about that is all.
This is one of those things that would be a 5 second convo in real life if you get me, lol. Online it's so much harder to effectively communicate a small simple thought, it ends up being over-complicated and can have errors in perception. Zero problem. I understand completely what you thought I meant, and our old convo talking about it, the works. I think the hybrid was new back them, so I reported it in case of a problem.
And I agree on the thing about listening at 12/13/14 out of 15 without issue. That's why I recommended that other app to him to use, which is extremely accurate and can measure ultrasonic audio as well to help him allay his fears. It gives a clear decibels level, and tells you exposure times that are safe in clear detail. Excellent app.
