How is the Music Modulated in this Auditory Training Program?

This auditory training program uses a variety of post-production capabilities to enhance and the music so that it is at its

best therapeutically and provides the listener not just with a wonderful listening experience, but with an entrainment that is

unlike any other auditory training program. It does so through the use of filters, Audio Bursting (TM), Spatial Surround (TM),

Spatial Dynamics (TM), Dolby Headphone (TM), nature sounds and a patent-pending ABC modular Design.

 

Filtration:

Filtration is the process by which filters screen out (remove) various frequency bands in order to tune in and become consciously

aware of those that remain drawing one’s ear to it and entrain the ear to perceive those specific frequencies.

 

To work on the Sensory Integration Zone, the low frequencies are targeted and all other frequencies above these are filtered out.

To work on the Speech and Language Zone, filters targeting the low and high frequencies are used to block out these sounds

allowing the ear to only perceive the middle frequencies

To work on the Energy and Creativity Zone, filters block all lower and middle frequencies to allow only the high, energizing

frequencies to be perceived.

 

Emphasizing specific frequency bands allows us to entrain the ear to tune in to certain sounds and tune out

others thereby fine-tuning our listening skills.  

 

Audio Bursting:

 

Audio bursting is a process by which the intensity of certain sounds are carefully increased in contrast to the sounds that aren’t.

This feature allows certain sounds to relax the ear muscles, and other sounds to engage the ear muscles, promoting passive and

active listening respectively. By switching back and forth between these two phases, the listener is brought to a more heightened

awareness of the changing sounds enhancing entrainment of the ears. Therefore the middle ear can attenuate to loud sounds and

provide its protective role while amplifying soft sounds to improve discrimination and vocal control.

 

Spatial Surround:

This feature is a patent-pending production process allowing each instrument to be perceived in a 360 degree sound field as

richly and clearly as if the listener were in the middle of an orchestra conducting it.

 

Spatial Surround Dynamic:

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 and moving randomly. 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.

ABC Modular Design

Aerobics for the Ears

The i-Listen (TM) takes auditory training a step farther enabling listeners to exercise the auditory processing system

in a manner similar to an exercise program through providing “warm-up”, “work-out” and “cool-down” phases never

before introduced in any auditory training program.

            

This patent-pending ABC Modular Design (TM) divides the workout into 15-minute modules. Within these modules, the first phase

A (Accommodation) relaxes the listener and “prepares” the ear to receive the more intensive stimulation of phase B (Training).

The listener is then returned to a relaxed state during the final phase C (Integration). This auditory training program is a pleasurable,

enlightening experience that has been clinically proven to enhance abilities.

 

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. 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. Audio-vocal exercises (microphone work) can also be started at this time if desired to

hone the ear-voice connection.
