Our Story

Back in 2001, NeuroSonica founder and creator of SmartSound technologies Ken Grimmer, wanted to explore the potentials of scientific sound technologies to help optimise client outcomes in his counselling/therapeutic practice.

With this in mind, and equipped with a background in music, sound design and engineering, he  began extensive research into a wide range of therapeutic, sound-based  disciplines, research and clinical studies.

Given the enormous range of multidisciplinary material available - and its potential for synthesis, he began developing a hybrid ‘brain audio’ that would combine multiple, evidence-based therapeutic sound technologies and processes into a single, synergistic format.

Thus began over 14 years of self-funded R&D, collaboration with some of the worlds' leading sound and signal processing engineers and hospital-based EEG 'brain mapping' with a senior neurophysiologist. 

Eventually, after much trial and error Ken was ready to release SmartSound - with its immersive signature sound, high-end production and unique, broad-spectrum, evidence-based benefits.

With its 2016 inclusion into the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, NeuroSonica SmartSound is now the world's first, government regulated medical audio of its kind. We are proud to present SmartSound as an effective, innovative breakthrough in therapeutic sound technology.

Our Thanks & Gratitude

Firstly, thanks to all of those involved in clinical sound research. Without you SmartSound would not exist. Special thanks to those experts who kindly gave their time, advice and in some cases, direct assistance.

Thanks to our late and great mastering engineer Neville Clark whose expertise in creating award winning sound designs helped overcome many unique challenges presented by SmartSound.

Thanks to Michele Henderson for being 'the voice' in our introductions to assist with headphone reversal.

Thanks also to the many Royalty Free music and other audio resources and sound libraries who've helped put the "art" in SmartSound. Special mention and thanks to the Creative Commons community of sound enthusiasts at www.freesound.org for some very unusual and innovative sounds!
