Cincinnati Speech Services is an Authorized Provider of The Listening Program ®.

The Listening Program® is a sound stimulation auditory therapy program consisting of eight specially developed Compact Discs (CDs) conveniently bound together with the 9-part Instructional Guidebook and Listening Journal.  Each CD contains four progressive segments that are 15 minutes each. Re-arranged, specially engineered classical music and nature sounds comprise the listening content.  The arrangements are treated with "filtering" and "gating" at gradually increasing levels through the course of the eight CD series.  These techniques are the basis for the therapy process.  The basic listening schedule calls for two 15-minute segments of headphone listening per day, 5 days a week, for a period of 8 weeks.  It can be completed at home, at school, or in the office.

A Cincinnati Speech Services consultant will provide program supervision for The Listening Program ® as follows:

Explain and answer questions about program administration, help determine if the program is appropriate for each individual, gather basic information from surveys and interviews, educate individuals regarding audio equipment necessary, recommend and design the appropriate listening program, and arrange consulation and follow-up sessions.
