I find isotonic and biaural beats helpful. There are few available on youtube such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w83qmAo5d1Q. Another great source for free tones is http://iso-tones.com/. Here you can download a few focus related MP3s to your device.

This is pretty weird, I just tried it for a short period and now I hear weird sounds in my ears. I don't know if I should keep going on...

Do it. For biaural beats you have to have headphones. Isotones don't require them. Not really sure what would happen (aside from loss of effectiveness) if you listened to biaurals without headphones.

I'm not sure if binaurals/isotones are of much use without at least some basic biofeedback equipment, but YMMV.
