The Effects of Auditory Training with Mozart  
 

So why Mozart? Certain classical music, like that of Mozart, has specific structure producing sound waves in organized patterns. Within these patterns are vital elements including time, frequency and volume. When listening to music, the ear is receiving the musical sound waves—waves that arrive in different frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz). These frequencies stimulate the brain, and thus affect different functions of the mind and body.


This auditory training program's modified music and production techniques (
described below) are designed to exercise the middle ear muscles with sound to make them stronger and tone them up just like you would exercise other areas of your body. When your ear muscles are physically fit, they work more efficiently and effectively and can filter sound better.  This enables the brain to better receive, process, store and utilize information. 

Auditory Training in Your Home!

Affordable and Portable...

Now you can re-train the ears and the brain to listen better and function better right in your own living room! You no longer have to travel to far-away centers, pay too much for limited therapy or go back for booster sessions for additional fees. It's easier than ever and it's right in the palm of your hand!

It’s all on i-Pod!

It's i-Listen!

It's convenient and cost-effective. You buy it. You keep it. Use it for years to come. Everyone in the family can can benefit from this sound therapy! It's not just for special needs...

The brain has the ability to change and learn new things (brain plasticity). You are more likely to see results when you stick to a program that fits into your schedule like this home-based system will. All it takes is 30 minutes a day!

Empower yourself...

and help your child reach their potential in a safe, comfortable, familiar environment...their own home...

Welcome to Auditory Training in High Definition!  

We introduce to you the first and only auditory training program recorded in High Definition (HD), capturing more musical information and more high frequencies bringing the listening experience very close to live performance.

High Definition music imparts a rich, fulfilling listening experience with greater clarity. You will hear exceptionally clear high frequencies (that charge the brain), authentic timbre in low frequencies (to work on the body and sensory issues) and greater spatial details to bring your auditory system into balance.

The right technology accelerates results!

There has been "movement" in the field of auditory training!

Now you can listen in a 360° sound field picking up sounds the way we do in real life...from all around us! Other auditory training programs out there are only in stereo (left and right). The enhanced technology with this program is so uniquely different from the myriad of sound therapies available on the market today. Not all sound therapy is the same. This system is like being a conductor of an orchestra with all the instruments surrounding you. We train your brain to go find a sound source! Have trouble wondering where that siren is coming from when you are driving? Is someone calling your name? Don't know which way to look? Are you calling your child's name? They don't turn around? Movement of the instruments in this auditory training program increases your spatial awareness. Think you hear a violin in front of you? Now it's behind you? Now it's back in front? There it goes again? This further helps synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain improving inter-hemispheric communication and brain integration.

Why do you think that brain over there is so happy?

New advances in technology are changing the face of sound therapy.

(these systems vastly expand on the principles, theories, and pioneering work originally discovered in the 1960s by French ENT, Dr. Alfred Tomatis)

 Audio-Vocal Training - Microphone Work

Hear Yourself Back Into Your Headphones...

Listen and repeat exercises ("active" listening) plus rehearsed reading exercises (or appropriate child-level audio exercises ) incorporated into your listening program follow the developmental sequence of sound frequencies for language acquisition. When the voice is trained with the ear, it becomes a continuous stimulus for the auditory system to facilitate alertness, focus and motivation to listen and think. Speak more clearly, read more fluently, comprehend and retain what is read. Get rid of that monotone voice!

Your Child Can Use Their Own Voice to Listen Better, Speak Better & Learn Better!

Audio-vocal training only available in conjunction with these programs.

How Do I Know if I Should Get The Bone Conduction System?

 

Does Your Child Cover His/Her Ears?  Children who cover their ears to avoid particular sounds or avoid noisy places are hypersensitive to sound. They take in sounds too much with their bones instead of their ears. They often have a variety of sensory integration issues as well such as not liking things on their heads/ears or tactile and oral sensitivities (those picky eaters...). These children can greatly benefit from the bone conduction system. Bone Conduction desensitizes the body to all the hypersensitivities by sending the sounds first to the skull bone via a transducer imbedded in the headphone before it goes to the inner ear for processing. Bone conduction is a more effective means of stimulating the vestibular system (inner ear) than just air conduction alone. Sounds travel faster through bone than through air. Bone conduction is also the dominant means of intra-uterine listening, the way a fetus becomes wired for sound. Think your child won't wear these headphones due to their hypersensitivities? Think again. That's why they need it! Your child will totally surprise you...

How is the Brain Impacted With Auditory Training?

  The brain is a dynamic structure that has the natural ability to change itself (brain plasticity). Learning is the process of brain changing. We can use this ability to normalize and improve auditory processing by teaching the brain through the appropriate auditory stimulation provided with the right frequency (how often),  intensity (how much) and duration (how long). It is never too late to stimulate the brain.

Sound therapy is a safe and effective method that gently trains the ear and brain through the systematic delivery of psycho-acoustically modified music. We train the auditory system to accurately process the full spectrum of sound for improved listening, learning, attention and communication.

Who Can Benefit From Auditory Training?
Children with autism, ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, sensory integration disorder, hypersensitivities to sound and other developmental delays as well as typically developing children and adults who want to hone their listening, improve their public speaking skills, musical ear,  sports skills and hand-eye coordination.  Turn weaknesses into strengths by re-training the ears to listen better.

 

Welcome To The New Generation!

i-Listen™ and CDs:

Listening Times: Given that the brain needs the variables of frequency, intensity and duration to see the greatest benefit from auditory training, our initial program is designed to last 20 weeks, initially. All it takes with the i-Listen is 30 minutes a day (two 15 minute sessions or one 30 minute session), five days a week (2 days off) to devote to re-training your child’s ears to perceive the spectrum of sound better and in doing so to re-claim their auditory processing and sensory integration capabilities. For the first 10 weeks in cycle 1, the program takes the listener from full spectrum (all the frequencies of sound) through to Auditory Training Zones 1, 2 and 3 (low (body zone), middle (speech and language zone) and high frequencies (energy/creativity zone), respectively). After 10 weeks, the program starts over again in cycle 2 in reverse order from the high frequencies to the middle, to the low and then back to full spectrum sound. No break is taken between cycles 1&2. This is a total of 20 continuous weeks and 50 hours of listening. After the initial 20 weeks, the listener is encouraged to continue listening to gain additional benefit and to work on particular zones that are still troublesome to fine-tune their listening.

Production of the Music: Countless psychoacoustic (literally, "brain-ear" or the subjective perception of sound) and neurosonic processes (specialized processes that affect or modify sound waves) are used in the production of this sound therapy program. When applied to the high definition music recordings, these processes enhance and strengthen the natural attributes inherent within the musical structure. The purpose is to provide listening training for the ear and brain bringing balance to the auditory system. The i-Listen™ and CDs are enhanced with technological features you won't find in any other auditory training program out there. High Definition (HD) - capturing more musical information and a clearer sound, Spatial Surround - providing music in 5-independent channels allowing for clear discrimination of each instrumental voice with sound also surrounding the listener allowing for better perception of spatial information and more effective auditory stimulation, Spacial Surround Dynamics - adding movement of the instruments in a 360° sound field, Audiobursting - increasing the intensity of certain sounds in contrast to those not audio-bursted thereby stretching and relaxing the middle ear muscles to increase the listener's awareness of the event changes and strengthening the middle ear muscles, Filtering - screening out selected frequencies to bring the listener's attention to those frequencies remaining, ABC Modular Design - built into each module of music, the ABC Modular Design exercises your ear like an aerobic exercise with a warm-up, intense training and cool down, Dolby Headphone Technology - your ear and brain perceive the sound of a five-speaker home theater system, when, in fact, your are listening through stereo headphones. Dolby Headphone is a technology, not a special headphone.

No other sound therapy program has all of these features! The auditory training program on the i-Listen and CDs is revolutionary and unlike any other program around.  Our clients are seeing remarkable results from this technology, and their children are changing before their eyes. Ask to speak with some of our very satisfied clients. They are the real proof!

 

Sound Therapy Works!!

Just read what a few of our clients are saying...

From Shannon: Oklahoma, daughter (8yrs old)

“My daughter has been using the i-Listen with bone conduction since June of 2007. Before we used it she had little to no eye contact, had focus issues, and had a hard time putting sentences together. Since then she has really made a change for the better. I feel like I have gotten a second chance with her. We have always known that she was smart, she just did not know how to communicate her knowledge. She is doing things I was worried she would never do. (like reading, spelling, doing math problems on her own) We are so thrilled with her progress. Even our friends and family notice a change in her. She actually goes up to people and communicates with them now. This has changed our lives and most importantly it has changed our daughter’s life. Thank you Sound Therapy Systems for making a difference in kids with autism and all developmental delays.”
 


From Collin: Texas, daughter (1 1/2 years old)

"What this auditory training program addresses (speech, sensory integration, behavior, etc. was what we needed help with for our daughter). She had just been enrolled in the Early Childhood Intervention Program and we were beginning a series of appointments and therapies to address her developmental delays.  At the time we began this therapy, she did/did not do the following":

 
- made eye contact but not constant                                                                 
- very little speech/babbling
- didn't hug, hold hands....not very affectionate
- did not point at anything
- did not respond when name called (only 20% of time)
- very temperamental
 
 As this auditory training program progressed, she began to:
- hold our hands
- point at birds and airplanes
- hold onto us when picked up
- improve speech output
- make huge strides in behavior as far as engagement
- began giving hugs

"My family is amazed at how far she has come since we started.  My Aunt has her PHD in education development and cannot believe her improvements as she has followed us through the last few months.  We are so grateful we found the program and no doubt believed it significantly impacted her progression in development."


From Dana, Michigan, son (4 years old, daughter 12 years old)

My son has met all of his goals on the program. My daughter is reading, reading, reading! She hated reading for pleasure and would only read what was required for school. She told me, "Mom, I really enjoy reading now!"
