Improve Your Listening. Improve Your Life.

The Listening Program® (TLP) is a Music-Based Auditory Stimulation™ method that is an affordable, effective approach for enabling individuals with a broad range of challenges and abilities to achieve even more.

TLP’s clinically-proven approach gently trains the auditory system to accurately process sound.

When auditory perception is distorted—whether through illness, injury, developmental, or other challenges—auditory processing problems can lead to academic, emotional, cognitive and social challenges, including problems with the following:

• Attention and concentration
• Listening
• Speech and language
• Memory
• Communication
• Social skills
• Reading
• Sensory integration
• Physical balance and coordination
• Vocal performance and musical ability

Whether you are interested in expanding your own abilities or helping someone you care about, TLP can make a significant difference.

With the guidance of a TLP Provider, The Listening Program is an easy-to-use, portable method that can bring about lasting change.

Who Can Benefit?

Anyone can benefit from improved listening function.

The Listening Program is used by people of all ages, starting as young as age two.

Empirical evidence has demonstrated benefits for;

• The typically developing child



• Individuals experiencing listening, sensory, learning, language, reading, attention, memory, social, communication, and auditory processing difficulties



• Those interested in improved communication and speaking skills, musical ability, learning potential, and creativity

The Program

A minimum of 40-60 hours is recommended for initial gains to be achieved with continued listening as goals for listening change, or as needed.

Standard Listening Schedules and Variations of 20 hour cycles encompass daily (5 days per week, 2 days off) listening of 15-30 minutes over the course of 8-16 weeks.

Preparatory listening of 2-10 minutes daily is done with sensitive listeners prior to beginning a Standard Schedule.

Programs are individualized using the A, B, C design and CDs of varying levels of intensity and purpose as needed.

Programs are self-administered under the monitoring and consultation of a trained Authorized Provider of The Listening Program.


Unique Patent Pending Design

The modular design of each sixty-minute TLP CD includes 4 fifteen-minute segments. There are 3 five-minute tracks per segment. The first track of a segment is "A", the second is "B", and the third is "C".

The A track supports listeners as they gradually adjust to the experience of filtered sound and prepares them to be receptive to the B track, which presents the greatest intensity of filtered sound with audio bursting. The C track helps organize the experience and return listeners to their natural listening environment.


The Music

Classical, classically inspired, improvised, folk, and children's music produced by ABT Music and performed by the award-winning members of The Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble.

High quality nature sounds are also interwoven into many of the soundscapes.

All music and nature sounds produced for The Listening Program are digitally spectrally analyzed to confirm frequency spectrum.
