The Bio Acoustical Utilization Device is emerging as a new potential treatment for those suffering from attention deficit hyperactive disorder, also known as the reason you can’t stand your nephew. “Through headphones, the instrument emits sonic waves that stimulate brain frequencies, accomplishing the same objective as commonly prescribed medicines,” such as Ritalin and Adderall. By keeping their children off of brain stimulants, alternative treatments such as the BAUD allow the parents a safer way of dealing with what is often a misdiagnosed condition. Plus, it keeps them from dealing their kid’s Adderall on the streets for $40 a pill. The Modesto Bee has a lengthy article about the device’s success with eight-year-old Austin Lassa.
