Acoustic Extraction™
A Frequency-Based Protocol for Auditory-Vagal Regulation
Your ears are always scanning for threat, and two tiny middle-ear muscles help decide what gets through. This 21-day protocol builds a daily listening practice around calm, low-volume tones, drawing on the auditory side of Porges' polyvagal theory, which proposes that soft, voice-like sound reads to the nervous system as safety.

The stapedius (cranial nerve VII) and tensor tympani (cranial nerve V) tune the middle ear toward the range of the human voice, and polyvagal theory links that tuning to feeling safe around other people. The protocol pairs 432 and 528 Hz tones with slow breathing as a structured daily routine. Cites Borg & Counter (1989), Porges (2011), Särkämö (2008).
How strong is the evidence?
Early. Polyvagal theory is influential and also contested. A few small pilot studies suggest music tuned to 432 Hz may slightly lower heart rate, but there's no good evidence that 432 or 528 Hz heals anything. Treat the tones as the structure for a calming routine, and judge it by how you feel.

Before you start
Keep the volume low. Loud sound and long headphone sessions can damage hearing. If you have tinnitus or hearing loss, check with an audiologist first.
