Can Your Child Benefit from
Sound Therapy?
Have you noticed one or more of the following…
- Distracted by other sounds in the room such as humming lights, ticking of a clock, etc.
- Early childhood history of ear infections, sinus congestion, hay fever, allergies, or asthma.
- MUST have total silence, OR music playing to do schoolwork.
- Speaks loudly; yells or “squawks” inappropriately.
- Articulation issues; “Tone deafness”.
- Frequent night phobias.
- Social immaturity.
Often parents suspect that something is wrong with their child’s “hearing,” even though all of the standard medical tests show that “hearing” is fine. If your child displays some of the above characteristics, he may be exhibiting inefficient Tonal Processing. This is the brain’s ability to understand and process the signals sent from the ear apparatus. This is a process that develops in the brain during the first few years of life. Ear infections and congestion can interfere greatly with the ability of the brain to properly develop the necessary neuroconnections. Fortunately, Sound Therapy helps to restore and rebuild proper Tonal Processing!
What to look for in a Sound Therapy Program
- An individualized approach. Your child’s program should be adjusted and monitored according to their needs. Be wary of any “one-size-fits-all” protocols! Every child is different, every child’s issues are different, and their sound therapies must reflect this!
- Technical Excellence. Precision Engineering is the mark of true sound therapy. Samonas Sound Therapy has been produced by Ingo Steinbach, considered by many to be one of the foremost sound engineers in the world today.
- An In-Home Program will insure that your child receives the best program, at an affordable price, at the proper listening duration. Traveling back and forth to a clinic is unnecessary when modern technology can bring Sound Therapy right to your living room! Headphones designed to accommodate 25,000 Hz with 150-Ohm impedance are available from the Sennheiser corp.
- Consider the implications of the technology being used. Some
sound therapies are created by individuals who are heavily involved
in New Age spiritualism. Consider the following quote taken from the
website of the Monroe Institute:
“The trademarked term Hemi-Sync signifies a patented combination of multiplexed audio binaural beats . . . designed to alter arousal levels. Hemi-Sync sounds are combined with verbal suggestion, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery, all carefully crafted to engender desired experiences in focused states of consciousness…When Bob Monroe first developed Hemi-Sync he was inspired to use pink sound to simulate the visceral environment of the out-of-body experience, thus providing a sensory integration link with the experience of the out-of-body state as he knew it.”
Having explored several different sound therapies, Little Giant Steps strongly recommends the use of Samonas Sound Therapy, which meets all of the above criteria. We would be happy to discuss a Program for your child.
