Technical description The Auditory Integration Training (Berard) is an auditory stimulation program functioning with an electronic system which processes the music of a CD with sound contrast effects. This system constantly changes the volume and tone of the melody, but the rhythm and phrasing is unchanged. Specific filters may be used to reduce the intensity of selected frequencies.

Science foundation claims By creating sound contrast effects (like the Tomatis Method), we can retrain the ear’s acoustical reflex muscle to facilitate the processing of sounds.

Protocol of Use An AIT listening program typically consists of 2 sessions of 30 minutes per day for 10 days.

How can you use Soundsory as a complement to this program? A great complimentary tool to the AIT program is Soundsory. Soundsory is a music listening and body movement exercise program that stimulates the auditory and vestibular systems of the body. The in-built music is filtered through a patented dynamic filter that is specially crafted and selected to emphasize rhythm.

It is a 40-day program of daily 30 minutes of music listening with exercises. The program is divided into two sessions of 20 days each.
