Episode 155 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is all about tinnitus relief and how binaural beats can help you stop the ringing in your ears. In this episode, you’ll meet Wayne Altman, an entrepreneur and the founder of Melody Clouds, the premier online source for music and audio to calm your mind.After suffering from tinnitus and looking for relief from all the noise he kept experiencing as a result of this illness, Wayne became aware of binaural beats in 2018. He started listening to different types of sounds, and music, and after some time, he noticed that the only time he does not experience extreme ringing in both ears is when he can listen to various music selections and give himself a respite from the noise. He joined several different subscription sites that have become popular, but none of them were worth the money to him. Either they were far too expensive or had sparse content. He had to try to figure out something better. He finally found a way to help anyone with the same condition by collecting tracks from producers worldwide in dozens of different styles to suit any taste in music. Finding these fantastic results made him think about introducing more beats to people who want to have a better focus, take a break from the day-to-day rush, feel relaxed and calm to enjoy the present moment, calm their kids from being upset or cranky, meditate, and even for the people who just love reading and being read to. Now, Melody Clouds has 8,000 hours of solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, guided meditation, and 16,967 audiobooks designed to relax and educate. Wayne has determined that this technology's healing effects should be available to everyone who wants it, and he’s got an incredible offer just for our listeners! The first 20 people who send their full name and email address to trina@fitfatherproject.com will receive a FREE year membership to Melody Clouds! So sit back, listen to this fantastic conversation, and start getting the relief you desire!In this episode, you’ll learn about: Binaural beats, solfeggio frequencies, and guided meditation.Using binaural beats and solfeggio to affect your mood and enhance your life. How music can affect our mental and physical health.How meditation can help heal illnesses and increase your mental well-being.How to block grief and increase joy in your life.And so much more!So, if you want to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this episode on tinnitus relief and binaural beats, take some notes, and check out FF30X! More From Wayne:Melody Clouds432Hz vs 440Hz comparisonDeclassified CIA document on Sound Frequency for Meditation & Psychic AbilitiesMore info on solfeggio frequenciesMelody Clouds on InstagramMelody Clouds on FacebookWayne on LinkedInWhat is FF30X?FF30X is a simple, sustainable, and specific weight loss program designed especially for busy men over 40.
