Those with neurodevelopmental disorders often hear more throughout their whole bodies through bone than they do with just their ears. Feeling sound before hearing it can be very distressing and cause anxiety, anger, and frustration. Through a vibrating bone conductor built into customized headphones, our program uses sound to desensitize hypersensitivity, and train the ears to become the primary entrance for sound instead of the body. In conjunction with delivering filtered and gated music, the muscles in the middle ear are then better able to dampen harsh noises by adjusting the tension of the eardrum.

One of the greatest benefits of Sound Stimulation among Autistic children is an increased sense of engagement. As they become more comfortable in their bodies and environment children develop a new desire to connect more fully with those around them.

While no way a cure, Sound Stimulation and Auditory Training has proven to be an effective program for improving social, sensory, and behavioral issues often associated with Autism.
