Sound Therapy Shows Promise for Alzheimer’s Treatment

Scientists found that playing a specific low-frequency sound to monkeys helped their brains remove harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

The sound, at 40 hertz, made the brain cleaner by increasing the levels of a waste protein called β-amyloid in the cerebrospinal fluid.

This means the brain was getting rid of the harmful plaque more efficiently.

The study suggests that sound therapy could one day be used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s, but more research is needed.

Experts say it’s a promising clue but not yet a proven treatment.

Right now, there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s, which affects 55 million people worldwide.

Listening to 40Hz music at home might not be harmful, but there’s no evidence it helps yet.
