I have been busy trying to get my software running etc. And I have not had time to look at every post. But looking back at a few I see that you had a note there about the nature of Ear Tones.

Generally, if people would like to make certain that I see some note they should send me an E-mail letting me know about it. Just visit any of my Web sites and use the E-mail addresses there.

I have discussed Ear Tones so many times in the past that it hardly seems to be worth the effort.

I know for 100% certain that some, and probably most Ear Tones can be generated by laboratory instruments. I was at a scientific conference years ago and walked by a display where the equipment manufacture was selling what is called a “cell disrupter.” It is a device about the size of a pencil. And it is hooked to a power supply that sends it electrical waves in the 1 to 3 million cycles per second range. The device is used to emulsify liquid samples such as blood samples for testing. The high frequency sound waves it generates fracture the cell walls etc. and release the cell contents into the liquid for testing.

Normally I will hear an Ear Tone in just one ear or the other. Some people hear them in both ears at the same time.

Waking by that display I could clearly hear a very strong Ear Tone in both ears at the same time. And it got louder and softer as I turned in one direction or the other and as the person running the display turned the power up and down at my request.

This was a fortunate accident. He had used the cell disrupter in a demonstration and then forgot to place it back in a storage container or turn off the power. And obviously, a person cannot hear a one million cycle per second sound wave. But, those power generators probably produce multiple frequencies. So that one might have been generating a 1,000,000 cycle per second signal and a 1,007,000 cycle per second signal. When the signals were added together the results might have been a 7000 cycle per second signal that a human could actually hear.

One researcher in Japan has reportedly studied Ear Tones. I don’t know what the outcome of his efforts were. I have never heard of any publications on the subject.

Perhaps 1 person in 1000 can hear them. And it generally appears to be the case that one person will hear a tone while another person who can also hear them and who is standing in the same room will not hear one at that time. It is apparently related to the ear geometry. That also matches with the fact that I myself hear them in only one ear at a time even if I stand facing in different directions or lean forward or backwards.

One of my research colleagues told me that on one occasion, she and two other Earthquake Sensitives living in different parts of the U.S. heard a strong Ear Tone at the same moment.

There is a report at one of my Web sites on a device that a researcher in China built that detects signals at the same time that Ear Tones are detected. However, he is an independent part – time researcher and has apparently never done anything with his invention.

Some people can hear very low frequency Ear Tones. They are down around 5 to 10 cycles per second. If the room is totally quiet I can hear those myself. And, quite a while ago there was an interesting story on this. When the U.S. first started sending information to submarines using low frequency radio waves, people who are Earthquake Sensitive could hear them. Reportedly, Navy officials got really upset that everyone was talking about them. Finally they gave up and did something to change the signals so that they could not be so easily heard. One researcher living near the sea said that they sounded like a “fog horn.” Anyway, I thought that story was hilarious. I could just picture a group of Navy admirals sitting in a room somewhere trying to decide if all of the Earthquake Sensitives in the U.S. should be rounded up and put in jail as national security threats.

I have some interesting information regarding the higher frequency Ear Tones that are up around 7000 cycles per second and have offered to work with other researchers on a study and publication on that subject. But no one has been interested so far.
