Vibroacoustic and Sound Therapy Never Meet

Vibroacoustic therapy uses low-frequency vibrations (30-120 Hz) delivered through beds or chairs to treat pain, stress, and emotional dysregulation. Dozens of studies show that it works. Sound therapy for hyperacusis uses gentle noise exposure to retrain acoustic sensitivity. This has also proven to be effective. Each recognizes a healing dimension to vibration. But nobody is testing whether pleasant tactile vibration could help retrain painful acoustic sensitivity. The parallel is obvious: both involve mechanoreceptors responding to vibration. Sound = vibration through air. Vibroacoustic therapy = vibration through body. Same receptors, same frequencies, same organism. But the research tracks stay separate. Pain specialists don't talk to audiology specialists. Nobody bridges the gap.
