Sharry Edwards, the trailblazer in Human Bio Acoustics, and researchers at The Institute of Bio Acoustic Biology & Sound Health have dedicated more than 30 years to exploring the potential of vocal biomarkers. Through the collection and comparison of information extracted from vocal prints over the decades, they've meticulously assembled an extensive database comprising hundreds of templates relating to specific health concerns.
Each Assessment starts by selecting what template, or database you want to have your analysis based on.
Assessments & Reports
After selecting your template, or multiple templates for analysis, you will need to choose at least 1 option that you would like in addition to the computer generated management report.
Next, choose how you would like the information presented to you. Clients with a background in excel, or those returning for additional assessments will likely want to check out having a workbook that can be updated with each analysis
Once completing the intake and initial assessment, if a tone box is recommended or requested clients will have the option to source their own equipment(with the exception of a tone box**) for tone trials and sound presentation that meet research requirements, or a deposit* can be put on a complete research equipment package.
**Tone boxes are an important control factor in the research process, and other tone generators will not be accepted unless acquired through Sound Health Options. If you would like to take advantage of a research equipment package, ordering through Integrative Harmonics will extend the discount exclusive to practitioners, not including shipping, taxes, ect.
*Deposits on equipment are subject to terms and conditions
Record 2 Vocal Samples for Analysis
Following your initial free assessment:
2 vocal sample recordings are required to begin the intake process, each one needs to be 40 seconds and each one must be about different topics. For a free consultation, only one high quality file is necessary, if you are selecting a Muscle or Nutrition assessment, the topic you speak about must be health related.
The first recording must be about your health, and does not have to go into detail. As you speak, you'll be tapping into the body systems related to the health concerns you want to investigate through the analysis.
The second recording can be on any topic you like, but it is preferred you stay on a single topic that you can talk about for 40 seconds. It's easier to talk about something you like to do, or know well.
Do not read from a book, count, or say things you've rehearsed for either sample, speech should be as natural as possible. It's ok to have a outline if you need one.

Tone Trails and Sound Presentation
Tone Trail
During the tone trails, participants are asked some general questions, and are observed for changes in their physical, mental, and emotional state. This process takes about 20 minutes, and can be done over zoom.
Sound Presentation
Trial results will determine which play list the participant will use as their first course of sound presentation. Instructions on how often and how long to listen each day will be provided at the tone trail, along with a short form for the participant to fill out during the first phase of the study.
Reassessment
Approximately 2-4 weeks of using the tone box is recommended before a reassessment is booked. This appointment is to review the clients feedback, the outcomes, and either have another set of tones trailed and programmed to the box, or discontinue participation in the study.
Ending the Study
Integrative Harmonics will offer to buy back the SQ2 Tone Box on the condition it is returned in good, undamaged condition either in person or by registered mail, payment will be made following the arrival of the package to the theoffice'
Curious about becoming a client?
To get the most from your free assessment please carefully review the instructions before uploading your audio file.
Files not submitted in the correct format are incompatible with our software, and poor quality recordings will effect the information that can be extracted from analysis.
If you require help with your file in addition to the videos and instructions provided on this page please email the site for assistance.
