The Reading Lab is proud to introduce a new brain-based program developed by Advanced Brain
Technologies, The Listening Program®, to its array of offerings. The Listening Program® (TLP) is a
music-based auditory stimulation method that provides engaging brain stimulation to improve
performance in school, work and life.
This program will be used only at home under the guidance of The Reading Lab and requires 15-30
minutes of listening daily, five days a week for a minimum of 20 weeks to receive the benefits of the
training. Listening to TLP will enhance and support the other cognitive training programs at The
Reading Lab.
The Listening Program is offered for all children, grades K-12. Systematic training is provided through
listening to psychoacoustically modified classical music which trains the brain to process sound more
efficiently. This leads to improvements in:
CDs using specially designed headphones.
Children, teens, adults and seniors can use the program in the home or workplace. Completely portable
and easy to use, The Listening Program fits easily into anyone's schedule and only requires 15 to 30
minutes of daily listening.
The Listening Program is a fusion of beautiful art and sound science. The masterful performances of
the award-winning players of the Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble are skillfully crafted using advanced
audio technologies to provide an unrivaled listening experience.
How can something that seems so simple - listening to psychoacoustically modified classical music -
actually impact a wide range of abilities, such as reading, communication, learning and memory?
Numerous studies worldwide, including research at the University of Sheffield, provide empirical
evidence that substantiate The Listening Program’s efficacy. And while that affirms The Listening
Program’s credibility, for many the question remains, how does The Listening Program work?
The Listening Program’s psychoacoustically modified music and patent-pending production
techniques are designed to stimulate or “exercise” the different functions of the auditory processing
system. This enables the brain to better receive, process, store and utilize the valuable information
provided through the varied soundscapes in our lives such as music, language and the environment in
which we live.
The Ear Brain Connection
So the question becomes...how can we overcome auditory processing challenges - moving from a
“disorganized” to an “organized” system.
Certain classical music, like that of Mozart, Haydn and Vivaldi, has specific structure, producing sound
waves in organized patterns. Within these patterns are vital elements including time, frequency and
volume. When listening to music, the ear is receiving the musical sound waves - waves that arrive in
different frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz). These frequencies stimulate the brain, and thus affect
different functions of the mind and body.
Specific Frequencies for Specific Functions
The Listening Program combines decades of clinical research in several fields, including neurology,
physiology, psychoacoustics, auditory processing, music theory and more. The method builds on the
work of respected leaders in these fields, such as ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician Alfred A.
Tomatis, M.D. (1920-2001). Among other discoveries, Dr. Tomatis helped identify the relationship
between certain sound frequencies and their effect on functions of the mind and body. A simplified
explanation of Dr. Tomatis’ findings shows that certain bands, or zones, of sound frequencies affect
different abilities.
TLP is designed to address these zones, systematically providing auditory stimulation that, when
customized for listeners by Advanced Brain Technologies (ABT) Providers, can help improve their
ability to function in a number of ways.
Students listen for 15 minutes twice a day for 20 weeks.
