Auditory Integration Training

[Guest guest]

Has anyone heard or tried Auditory integration training? A friend

of mine just read a book about a teenager who had sensitive hearing

and she went to Guy Berard, a French otolaryngologist, who has

developed AIT. It treats auditory processing problems. He says

that abnormal auditory processing results when there is

discrepancies in how well someone hears different sound

frequencies. For example, a person may be hypersensitive to the

frequencies 2,000 and 8,000 Hertz, but hear all the other

frequencies normally. Berard developed Auditory Integration

Training as a way to reduce sensitivity to specific sound

frequencies.

Apparently there is a doctor near me that was trained by Dr. Berard

and does this. Also, my friend says that her sister's friend is

taking her daughter there, although I'm not sure exactly what her

problem is--I'm hopefully going to get that info soon.

I will let you know when I find out more.
