Based on over 10 years of research, user feedback and observations, see the Optimum Bio Sound Therapy (OBST) usage tips below:
For best results
- Optimal daily use: 4-6 hours daily (minimum single session time of 2 hours). Minimum daily use of at least 2 hours daily (1 session).
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water (at least 1L extra daily).
- Equipment: Replace JLab Earbuds after every 90 hours of OBST use, and Laser Earbuds after 60 hours of use. If using the JLab Earbuds, remove the Cush Fin™ and the Cable Cinch before use - for more information, refer to the Quick Start Guide for OBST-Approved Earbuds.
General use
- Wi-Fi signal: Ensure a strong connection where you use the device. Use a compatible Wi-Fi extender if needed.
- Stay close: Keep within 3m of the iPad.
- Reset modem weekly: Unplug and turn off your modem for 7 minutes once a week to clear its cache.
- Reboot (power off) your iPad daily: Power off your iPad once a day to improve system performance. This helps ensure you receive the optimal OBST signal and get the full benefit from your sessions.
- Do not run any iOS updates: If prompted, do not run any iOS updates as this will affect the delivery of the service and your iPad will need to be sent back to us to reset (NZD95 + postage fee applies).
Using OBST
Position: You must place the cord behind your neck with the battery/controller on the left.
- Volume: Ensure you can hear the white noise (rain sound) in both ears. Test this in a quiet room. The sound just needs to be audible in both ears, louder is not better. It's okay if you can't hear it in noisier environments (e.g. while watching TV).
- Session length: Use for at least 2 hours at a time, up to a maximum of 6 hours daily.
