Auditory processing therapy programs combines brain research and the latest technologies for at-home educational and self-improvement benefits. When done in conjunction with psychotherapy and nutrition counseling, auditory processing therapy programs are even more powerful.

In children, auditory problems may be identified by speech and language problems, sensitivity to sounds, poor attention, difficulty following directions, difficulty expressing oneself, difficulty with listening comprehension as well as reading comprehension, difficulty with social interactions, or auditory self-stimulation, such as constant humming or self-talk. Children who have had a history of ear infections or chronic middle ear fluid are at a higher risk for having difficulties in auditory perception and processing. Fortunately, auditory processing therapy can help.

In adults, auditory problems may manifest as difficulty retaining auditory information, inattentiveness, sound sensitivity, or speech/language and voice concerns. For individuals who have hearing loss, auditory processing therapy is important to aid in improving the functional use of their hearing.

The Listening Program

I use a number of techniques for auditory processing therapy. One of the most popular is The Listening Program. With The Listening Program, the improvement in auditory processing is just the beginning. Incredible care has been taken to use expertise from the best minds in the field to create an auditory therapy program that is easy to do at home, is immensely enjoyable, and also extremely successful in strengthening auditory and related abilities.

Numerous studies worldwide, including research at the University of Sheffield, provide empirical evidence that substantiate The Listening Program’s efficacy. The Listening Program combines decades of clinical research in several fields, including neurology, physiology, psychoacoustics, auditory processing, music theory, and more. The method builds on the work of respected leaders in these fields, such as ear, nose, and throat physician Alfred A. Tomatis, MD. For example, Dr. Tomatis helped identify the relationship between certain frequencies and their effect on functions of the mind and body.

The Listening Program is a program that can benefit anyone, but especially individuals who have difficulties in the areas of auditory perception, processing, and memory. The Listening Program has been used successfully in the treatment of a wide variety of problems, including autism, attention disorders, depression, anxiety and sensory integration problems.
