In many individuals, distortions in hearing or auditory processing contribute to behavioral or learning disorders. AIT may significantly reduce some of the challenges that individuals have associated with autism spectrum disorders, auditory processing disorders, speech and language disorders, sensory issues including auditory, tactile or other sensory sensitivities, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity, anxiety and depression.
Auditory Integration Training efficiently retrains a disorganized auditory system and improves hearing distortions and sound sensitivity. Auditory Integration Training is an educational intervention with over 30 years of scientific research and 28 clinical studies. Participants listen through headphones to modulated music on an auditory integration training device for 20 sessions of 30 minutes each, for a total of 10 listening hours, over 10 (or 12) consecutive days.
AIT is designed to normalize hearing and the ways in which the brain processes auditory information. An individual may get overstimulated, disoriented or agitated in the presence of certain sounds. Therefore, AIT works to normalize the hearing response across all frequencies within the normal hearing range. Sound discrimination difficulties can occur when the right and left ears perceive sounds in an extremely different way, problems with sound discrimination can occur. AIT works to normalize the hearing of both ears.
