BioAcoustics is still experimental in various stages of reception.
This is probably the largest obstacle to the common utilization of
BioAcoustics and the reason for reluctance from insurance companies to
approve payment for services and equipment. The most open areas have been
for rehabilitation and pain management. The more progressive companies are
becoming receptive as the data is evaluated. An obvious reason for
reservation is due to the fact that BioAcoustics, as a science, is in its
infancy. Nevertheless the results are significant and repeatable.
Grants and research funds have been slow in coming. Most of the
data collection has been made financially possible from clinical fees,
private donations and the never ending sacrifices of those who are
intimately involved with the work. Once the technique gains acceptance and
insurance payments are approved, students and clients will be plentiful.
The pioneers of BioAcoustics realize that no one is obligated to accept
anecdotal accounts as successful interventions; only continued documented
results will provide the opportunity for acceptance.
BioAcoustics
receives the majority of referrals from agencies and wellness
practitioners. Remaining referrals are from satisfied clients and their
families. Once a person critically examines the data, it is hard to refute
the information. Those who attempt to argue with clients or keep them from
their sounds are usually met with threats of bodily
harm.
