The ear does much more than simply take in words and sounds. As the primary regulatory organ that integrates our senses, it plays a major role in cognitive, physiological and psychological development. And because of its connection to the vestibular system it regulates balance, motor skills, posture and coordination.

Like vitamins or minerals, sound is a nutrient. Vibrations from sound waves are transformed into electrochemical impulses in the cochlea of the inner ear, and then sent along auditory pathways to the brain. Research demonstrates that when auditory perception is distorted - whether through illness, injury, or developmental delays - sensory functioning is compromised. This affects our ability to speak, read, write, listen and participate in all forms of social interaction.

Dynamic Listening's Sound Stimulation re-trains the auditory mechanisms by using filtered and gated frequencies to stimulate the muscles of the middle ear. Through gradual exercise these muscles begin to work more effectively, sending an improved signal up to the brain.

The Dynamic Listening System™ uses the brain's natural Neuroplasticity, which is its ability to modify its structure when introduced to new stimuli. By training the ear and auditory pathways to stimulate new neural connections, Sound Stimulation opens the door for higher learning and functioning.
