Natural sound therapy provides a non-pharmacological option for stress reduction, potentially improving recovery outcomes.
Reducing heart rate variability can lead to lower risks of cardiac events in patients post-myocardial infarction.
Auditory interventions can enhance patient mood and overall wellbeing during hospital stays.
