If you’ve been following the blog for a while, I am hopeful that you have quite a lot of material to make your night hours more restful.
I’m still continuing with the medical examination theme because it appears to have been an effective one. However, I realise that having a playlist of ASMR videos that stays focused on the same subject might be dull, so I am open to new ideas. Indeed, I may explore a few side avenues independently.
If you’re new to the blog well, welcome. The idea is that I keep finding new videos that may have some ASMR effects. So far, predominantly videos which were not created for their ASMR effects but were devised for another purpose. This has mostly been videos covering some variety of medical examination.
These unintentional ASMR videos may produce ASMR effects (assuming you are a person who is lucky enough to feel such effects) or they may just be restful enough to gentle you off to sleep. Either way I hope that they are of use to you and I am open to suggestions if there is other material which you have found effective.
Today we are exploring more material in terms of eye examination. We have covered this area before with Moran Core where we encountered Megan, who had a very good ASMR voice (but got somewhat limited air time).
Today’s video is this one:
HEINE Direct Ophthalmoscopy — How to perform Ophthalmoscopy
This is very different in that it is an out-and-out instruction video. It is distinguished for our purposes in that the narrator has an excellent voice. It is a very calming voice and unlike material we have recently seen it is not afflicted by horrendous background noise.
This strikes me as a great one to keep in the playlist for this blog (if you want to see that playlist scroll to the end of this article).
As is usual for articles in this blog, when I find one video which has potential ASMR effects I take a chance to explore the channel in which it is found.
Here we have the channel HEINE Optotechnik. This channel has one hundred and twelve videos as at the date I’m looking at it. Even with superman fingers I do not think I will be doing a blog post on that many videos.
The standard approach I have adopted in these circumstances is to look for a playlist. I have assumed up to ten videos is enough without you losing the will to live.
There are twenty playlists in this channel with contents ranging from four to seventeen videos.
Our video (above) appears in a playlist entitled How-To: Opthalmology (indeed, it is the last video in that playlist).
The other two are:
HEINE Indirect Ophthalmoscopy — The Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (Part 1)
This has exactly the same narrator as our first video. Looking at the comments it appears that there are none at all from the ASMR community (well they have not made themselves known in any case). It is possibly not a popular category with them.
I think however that this is a relaxing video – not a Dr James Gill standard but good enough for the Procrastination Pen playlist.
The notes inform us that the narrator is a Mr Brian Little, sadly that is not a rare enough name for me to determine whether he has narrated any other material which might be of interest to us.
The next (and last from this playlist) video is this:
HEINE Indirect Ophthalmoscopy — The Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (Part 2)
There are over four thousand subscribers, so this is no passing fancy of a channel. It is very likely a channel to which I will return in future blog items.
This is unusual for an item on this blog, in that all of the videos reviewed deserve membership in the Procrastination Pen playlist of ASMR videos.
The playlist for HEINE is here:
The overall playlist of videos covered so far in this blog is here:
The archive playlist (videos which were in the overall playlist but after repeated playings it turns out that was a mistake) is here:
The playlist of items that are great for ASMR (but contain an age verification function) – usually a great way to interrupt your listening in the middle of the night is here:
I hope that you find them restful
