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.

    Can Anxiety Cause Tinnitus? Why Ringing Feels Worse Do you sometimes notice the ringing in your ears becoming louder when you feel anxious or overwhelmed? Many people experience tinnitus symptoms, especially during periods of ongoing stress or emotional tension. The link between anxiety and tinnitus can feel frustrating. The sound often feels louder when your body is under stress, which can affect the quality of life. Anxiety affects much more than emotions alone.

    Can Stress Cause Tinnitus? Why It Feels Worse  If you’ve observed the ringing in your ears increasing when you’re under stress, it’s not just in your head. I’ve noticed this occurring again and again. It can feel frustrating when the sound suddenly gets louder for no clear reason. Stress affects more than just how we feel emotionally. It can affect how the brain processes sound, how the body reacts to tension, and how aware we are of inner sensations. Can stress cause tinnitus? Yes, stress may play a role in tinnitus. It can also make existing ringing more noticeable. This happens because stress makes your brain focus more on internal sound. When your nervous system is more active, this heightened attention can make the ringing feel louder or more persistent over time. Understanding this connection is the first step toward reducing how much the sound affects your daily life.
