Listening Foundation Program
This is the starting point for all adult Sound Therapy listeners. The music in this program is gradually filtered to encourage rehabilitation of the auditory system in a gentle and progressive manner. Parents can listen along with their children and benefit in the areas of stress reduction, improved sleep, energy and communication. The level of filtering gradually increases as you work through the four albums, progressively training the ear.
The progressively filtered albums in the Listening Foundation Program are:
Album 1: Gentle Massage
This album gently begins the process of introducing filtered sounds to the ear. By Vivaldi 4 Concerti, Rosini Quartet, Mozart Violin Concerto, Handel Harp Concerto.
Album 2: Muscle Movement
The ear is reconditioned as the filtering begins to increase, and the middle ear muscles are asked to respond to greater variations in frequency and intensity. By Mozart string quartets, Mozart Piano Concertos.
Album 3: Ear Gymnastics
Progressing to more challenging frequency variations requires the ear to respond at levels that it may not have reached for many years. By Mozart Horn Concerto, Violin Concerto, Bach Harp Concertos, Cello Concerto, Vivaldi Cello Concertos.
Album 4: Cilia Simulation
Finally, as the middle ear has begun to open and adjust to the higher frequencies, these stimulating sounds can reach the inner ear and activate the sensory cells in the hearing organ (the cilia). Sound waves are converted to electro chemical signals that travel to the brain. By Mozart Horn Concerti, Haydn String Quartets.
Brain Integration (Level 2)
This Bonus Level 2 program in the Brain Performance Series is designed to enhance brain function, which is the ultimate aim of Sound Therapy. Good brain integration enables us to optimise our abilities in order to handle life’s demands effectively and maintain a positive and productive state of mind. The Brain Performance Series is precisely designed to nurture and strengthen all of these aspects that comprise our neural responses.
Sound Therapy has tremendous potential in the cognitive realm. Using this program not only enhances our cognitive capacity, it improves our ability to use and integrate all of our sensory systems. It is also relevant to enhancing hearing, and resolving tinnitus, as the process of hearing and the occurrence of tinnitus are largely happening in the brain itself.
A journey of brain optimisation
Brain integration is about enabling all of the different aspects of brain performance to work together to facilitate our daily functioning. Our senses allow us to make ‘sense’ of the world, but only if they communicate smoothly with each other. Our senses must work together to do an effective job. Together, they provide the brain with a menu of balanced stimuli. The brain that is nourished with a well-balanced menu of many varied senses, operates well.
Over 80% of the nervous system is involved in the reception, integration and processing of sensory information. The primary role of the brain is to be a sensory-processing machine. Inefficient sensory integration is like a traffic jam in the brain. Whether you are a high performing individual seeking peak performance, or someone who has suffered delays or damage to some of your cognitive function, this program can be an important part of your recovery and performance enhancement.
The Brain Integration Program is designed to:
- Achieve a calm and focused mind -- also assisting to reduce tinnitus
- Integrate processing between the right and left-brain hemispheres
- Train and remap brain pathways for better mental and cognitive function
This program consists of 6 albums, each approximately 60 minutes in length.
Album 1: Calm Mind
This album is recorded with the Electronic Ear only. It is safe for those with sensitive hearing and allows you to relax during ear training. (Mozart: Pianos Concertos | Mozart: Divertimento)
Album 2: Focus
In this album the Electronic Ear is progressively increasing its reach. The difference between the two channels gradually widens, training the ear to gradually increase its range of focus. (Handel: Sonatas for Wind Instruments)
Album 3: Right Left Integration
Building the Corpus Callosum. Tomatis taught us that the right ear must lead for our listening and language processing to be most effective. Crossing the divide helps different brain systems and language processes to work better. (Mozart: Pianos Concertos)
Album 4: Tonotopic training
Training the auditory cortex to fill in the gaps, progressing from 400Hz to 8kHz. (Bach: Trios | Bach: Quintet | Handel: Sonatas for Recorder and Oboe)
Album 5: Neural remapping
Expanding the spectrum of frequencies and spectrum of decibels, this album sequentially extends attention to all areas of the auditory neural map. The switching between the high and low channels is quite pronounced. This is to stimulate different parts of the brain and the auditory pathways in the brain into responding. (Mozart: String Quintets | Mozart: Divertimento)
Album 6: In the Zone
This highly filtered album helps your mind to become calm, focused, alert and relaxed. Let it wash over you. Don’t worry if you can’t hear it all the time, especially in the first half of the album. Keep the volume low. (Haydn: Symphony | Handel: Grand Concertos)

Extra support tools with your download
Your personal listening routine: When you purchase your download, you will be provided with questionnaires to assess the level of auditory fitness for each family member. You will then be directed to a personalised listening routine that each listener should follow, week by week. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important not to overdo your listening in the first few weeks, until your ears and nervous system have adjusted.
How to listen: The recommended listening time totals about three hours per day for adults, listening quietly, through headphones, as you go about your day. You can have a conversation, watch TV, or even sleep while listening. Yes, you must use earphones for the therapy to be effective, but these can be an ‘open’ style, so you can still hear surrounding sound. Since you can do almost anything while listening, this means that it takes no time out of your day.
For older children the recommended time is approximately an hour per day, and for younger children, thirty minutes per day.
Listener Support Program: Our e-mail listener support program allows us to hold your hand and support you and your family through your first few months of listening, to keep you motivated, confident and on track. Regular tips, updates and further information provide needed support in your in-box as you progress through your program. These emails are tailored to the issues and questions usually experienced by families on this program. Sometimes a timely reminder or helpful tip about other people’s experience will give you the support and encouragement you need to keep you on track. Sound Therapy encourages adaptation on several levels: cognitive, emotional and physical. The interactive processes presented at the right stage of your listening will assist these important change
