About Auditory Training

How it works

Make an Enquiry

The process of hearing is not as simple as just listening with your ears. In fact, it's a complex system where your brain plays a vital role in decoding and making sense of the sounds that reach your ears. The brain and ears work in tandem to ensure that you can hear, understand, and respond to the world around you.

The skills involved in this process are essential for language development, which is why children who struggle with hearing or processing sound may have trouble with reading, writing, and speaking. Additionally, phonological processing is required for literacy development, which means that children who struggle with hearing may have difficulty with spelling and grammar as well.

Difficulties in processing sound can also lead to poor auditory attention and memory skills. This can make it challenging for individuals to focus on what they're hearing or remember what they've heard. In turn, this can affect communication skills and make it harder for people to express themselves effectively.

Modulating brain activity through sound

While you physically hear with your ears, your brain has to process any sounds and make sense of them – essentially your brain and ears are working in tandem.

Auditory training strengthens your brain’s auditory processing capability to improve the skills you need for language development, phonological processing (required for literacy development), and the processing of auditory information.

These include:

Auditory Figure Ground Differentiation
The ability to pick out important sounds from a noisy background
Auditory Closure
Understanding when parts of spoken information are missing or distorted
Binaural Separation and Integration
The ability to deal with multiple streams of auditory/verbal information simultaneously
Understanding rapid speech
Comprehension of fast speech
Auditory Memory
Remembering things we hear in both the short and long term
Auditory Attention
The ability to focus selectively on specific sounds
