Sound may help some people settle into focused work, but entrainment audio is not an established treatment for ADHD, and FMB doesn't claim it is. A few small trials of binaural beats in ADHD have been published, with mixed results.
What's known: a 2010 placebo-controlled pilot in 20 children and adolescents with ADHD (Kennel et al., Journal of Pediatric Nursing) found no significant difference in inattention scores between binaural beats and a sham track, though parents reported fewer homework problems afterwards; a 2022 pilot in adults with ADHD (Malandrone et al., European Psychiatry) reported better self-rated study performance and called its findings preliminary; a 2025 study of people with attention deficits (Alves-Castro et al., Experimental Brain Research) found no benefit on behavioural or EEG measures. What's not known: whether any of this is large, consistent, or lasting enough to change day-to-day functioning, and how well it carries over to the beat types FMB uses. FMB's ADHD-tuned journeys are a wellness tool some people use to settle into focused work — not a treatment, and not a substitute for an ADHD diagnosis or care plan.
