Many of us, children and adults alike, are not "listening" to our fullest potential. In fact, many, many people experience "listening disabilities" or "auditory disabilities" and do not realize it.
Here is a program that could benefit anyone, but especially individuals who have difficulties in the areas of auditory perception, processing, and memory. These weaknesses or problems in processing sound can adversely affect us in many ways including difficulties with:
- Learning foreign languages
- Speech production
- Accent reduction
- Over sensitive to sounds
- Easily distracted by sounds
- Low energy level
- Sleeping soundly
- Social interactions

The Listening Program Level 1 Kit
The TLP Level 1 Kit is an option for both the beginning and experienced listener. However it does not necessarily replace the TLP Classic Kit, or the use of the Classic and Kids Specialized CDs. It is an option that can be considered based on the needs of the listener. In some respects the TLP Level 1 Kit is more intensive than these tools. In other ways the increased intensity is offset by the progression of TLP treatment categories through different frequency zones helping the listener accommodate to the auditory stimulation.
The Listening Program® is continuously undergoing refinement, with adaptations being made to the method every year. With the opportunity to record new music in High Definition 24- bit 192 kHz, the availability of updated sound processing technologies, and the experience of tens of thousands of TLP listeners, the TLP Level 1 Kit is a reflection of ABTs commitment to advancing the field of auditory stimulation and the TLP method.

The Listening Program Specialized CDs
The relation of the ear and language is today, undeniable. Yet it was Dr. Tomatis who discovered a simple, basic fact, just decades ago. It's known as The Tomatis Effect. The voice reproduces only what the ear hears. The Tomatis Effect is held in high regard in relation to our development of Music-Based Auditory Stimulation.
These specialized CDs place a very significant emphasis on the frequencies fundamental to the reception and production of spoken language, sensory integration and auditory figure ground (attending while ignoring distractions). These CDs focus stimulation in the frequency zones that cover these auditory processing skills.
These frequencies affect receptive and expressive language, communication, as well as attention and memory. The music and instrumentation were selected for qualities that compliment these portions of the sound spectrum.
The TLP Specialized Series Includes:- Full Spectrum - Prelude 1 Headphones, developed as a gentle introduction to The Listening Program. These CDs are the first of The Listening Program - New Generation. They incorporate ABT Music's new High Definition (HD) 24-bit 192 kHz recordings, featuring the latest advancements in ABT's psychoacoustic and neurosonic treatments.
- Full Spectrum - Prelude 2 Headphones, These recordings provide a more natural listening experience, very close to live. They contain low levels of distortion, more accurate representation of the sound waves, providing a rich, fulfilling listening experience with greater clarity than our earlier 16-bit recordings.
- Full Spectrum - Prelude 1 Stereo Speakers, What you hear is more clear high frequencies, authentic timbre in low frequencies, greater definition of individual notes, and spatial details unlike you have ever heard! This provides more new opportunities for developing TLP than ever thought possible.
- Full Spectrum - Prelude 2 Stereo Speakers, rains not only our ability to perform an auditory scene analysis and the auditory figure ground skill but also selective auditory attention, pitch discrimination, amplitude perception, sound localization, frequency perception, and temporal processing.
- Sensory Integration Kids 1, individuals on the autistic spectrum benefit greatly from this CD as do those who need to a better sense of their body, feeling more comfortable and grounded through the stimulation of the lower frequencies before experiencing CDs with high pass filtration such as those in The Listening Program Classic Kit.
- Sensory Integration Classic 1, helps the process of taking in information about the world around us with all our senses and from inside our own bodies. Through integrating and organizing the senses of vision, auditory, touch, movement, muscle awareness, taste, and smell, we are able to interact comfortably and efficiently in work, play and through social interaction.
- Speech & Language Kids 1 Headphones, is appropriate for enhancing receptive and expressive language, sense of melody, pitch discrimination, fluency, voice modulation and control. It may be used during reading activities, quiet or aloud at a low volume. It may also be used in connection with vocal exercises and may have some benefit with second language acquisition.
- Speech & Language Kids 1 Stereo Speakers, is a tremendous tool for voice coaches, reading and learning specialists, speech and language pathologists and those working with communication difficulties.
- Speech & Language Integration Classic 1, proves helpful with attention, memory and concentration. Listeners may practice active listening with SL Classic 1 but may also hum, sing or explore their voice during their listening sessions.
- High Spectrum Classic, has been created for those who want to experience the continued benefits of high frequency sounds after having completed at least one cycle of The Listening Program. These high frequency sounds are those that charge the battery to our brain, providing us with energy and vitality and enhancing our creativity and self-expression.
