About WAVwatch: The Sound Wave Therapy Device Changing Self-Care

Was this a Coincidence?

Linda Bamber Olson - WAVwatch Founder

Born with hearing in only one ear, Linda Bamber learned to adapt early in her life “They didn’t discover my disability until I was in the third grade,” Linda said.

By then, “I had learned to stay still, orient towards the sound and absorb information.” Who knew those three ideas would be the very foundation for the WAVwatch.

“Although I took some ribbing from my brothers for never getting a joke…my hearing ability was not a detriment, but rather something to improve on.”

Linda has always been a creator. She made her first prom dress, created her middle school teaching units, and has had several businesses. Most notable are bath and body products that sold thousands on HSN and at Hobby Lobby.

When Linda’s mother and sister were both diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time, she turned her attention to learning how to protect her family and herself.

She started BRAS, Breast Research Awareness & Support, a business to teach other women how to protect their breast health. Visit www.brasthermography.com for more info.

Linda is a teacher, speaker, writer, and nutritionist, and has a B.S. in Food Science & Nutrition with an N.D. certification.

Working with the WAVwatch prototype

As she interacted with clients, she found a need for a simpler and easier way for protection from many common health problems, like kidney stones, knee pain, emotions, and more.

In 2007, she started designing the WAVwatch sound frequency therapy device, but the technology wasn’t developed yet.

The idea for sonic frequencies sat for a decade. In that time, technology changed drastically and then it just fell into place.

“I felt like I was guided every step of the way. Technology was advancing and my sons developed talents that helped shape the idea,” Linda said.

Back at her BRAS business, clients would help direct her one direction or another to test the WAVwatch and move forward with development.

“Other clients had amazing connections to share that I would never have dreamed possible,” she continued.

After the prototype was finished, testing began.

The positive testimonies on sound healing started streaming in for issues like chronic pain, neck pain, and much more.

Coincidence? I think not.

  • Sound Sensitivity and Hyperacusis

    by Linda Bamber May 26, 2026
    Why Am I Sensitive to Noise All of a Sudden? Suddenly becoming sensitive to sound can feel confusing and exhausting. Ordinary noises that never bothered you before may now feel sharp, overwhelming, irritating, or impossible to ignore. Some people notice it after stress, burnout, illness, poor sleep, loud noise exposure, or long periods of nervous system strain. Some react strongly to clanging dishes, traffic, crowds, loud TV, barking dogs, or many conversations at once. In some cases, this experience relates to hyperacusis, a condition involving increased sensitivity to everyday sound. However, sound sensitivity is not always only about the ears. The nervous system, stress response, hearing pathways, mental fatigue, and sensory processing may affect how sound feels. They may also affect how strongly the brain reacts to it.

  • Ringing In Both Ears: Causes and Support

    Bilateral Tinnitus: Ringing in Both Ears Ringing in both ears can feel mentally draining because the sound does not stay on one side. It can follow you through work, rest, conversations, quiet rooms, and sleep. Some people hear a soft hum, others notice buzzing, hissing, static, or a high-pitched tone that seems to fill the whole listening space. Bilateral tinnitus means tinnitus affects both ears. It may develop slowly over time. It can also become more noticeable during stress, poor sleep, illness, hearing strain, or sound overload. Common symptoms include: Ringing in both ears Buzzing or humming High-pitched tones Static-like noise Sound that feels stronger in quiet rooms This type of tinnitus often feels different from one-sided tinnitus because there may be no “quiet side” for the brain to shift toward. That can make the experience feel more constant, immersive, and emotionally tiring.

  • Unilateral Tinnitus: Ringing In One Ear

    by Linda Bamber May 19, 2026
    Unilateral Tinnitus: Ringing in One Ear Explained Do you notice ringing, humming, buzzing, or other noises in just one ear? Many people find this especially stressful because the sound feels stronger and more focused on one side. Unilateral (one-sided) tinnitus is the term used when tinnitus affects only one ear. Some people notice the sound suddenly, while others experience it gradually over time. The sound may come and go, or it may stay consistent throughout the day, which can affect the quality of life. Many people describe: Ringing in one ear Buzzing in one ear Humming sounds High-pitched tones Sudden ringing in one ear In many cases, the cause is manageable once properly evaluated. Stress, sound exposure, sinus pressure, jaw tension, sleep problems, and hearing changes may all contribute to symptoms.

  • Pulsatile Tinnitus Explained

    Pulsatile Tinnitus: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Do you notice a steady pulsing, rushing, or rhythmic noise in your ear that appears to sync with your heartbeat? Many people describe pulsatile tinnitus as a sound that feels different from regular ringing in the ears. Unlike common tinnitus, this rhythmic sound often follows a steady pattern. Some people notice it more at night, during stress, or when lying down quietly. Pulsatile tinnitus can have several possible causes. Changes in blood flow, circulation, blood pressure, stress, and tension may all play a role. In certain situations, the noise is not harmful. In other situations, it deserves medical attention. Many people notice the pulsing sound in one ear only, although it can affect both ears in some situations. The good news is that many causes are manageable once properly identified. Understanding symptoms and possible triggers is often the first step to feeling less anxious. It can also help you feel more in control of your quality of life.
