Hi Everyone

If you recall from last newsletter, this is the month where we are releasing the first information ever about Brain Advancement Coaches. Have you ever thought about helping people and improving their brain function while at the same time helping your own brain and even giving yourself a new opportunity for a career. If so click here to find out more information about the Brain Advancement Team.

Setting Up the Auditory System to Process Sounds

 

From "The Roadmap From Reading Failure to Success" by Kathy Johnson, Pyramid of Potential

To be published December, 2014

 


 

Once the brain is set up to process sounds through the integration of the primitive reflexes, it is much more likely that therapy designed to stimulate the auditory system will work more effectively, efficiently, and last long-term. I have seen clients whose therapy did not stick more than 6 months when the primitive reflex work was not done first.

                                                     

There are several therapies currently that stimulate the auditory system. Some are done in a clinical setting, some are done at school or at home, and some are done on-line. Although there are some differences, and some may have better results than others, the best one for you is the one that is accessible and affordable.


 

The following are listening therapies, in alphabetic order:


 

Auditory Integration Therapy

Interactive Listening Systems

International Sound Synergy

The Listening Program

Therapeutic Listening

Tomatis


 

This may not be inclusive, as new therapies are developed all of the time.

Auditory System: Pathways and Reflexes


 

Connections in the Central Auditory System


 

Cochlear Nucleus, Superior Olive, Lateral Lemniscus, Inferior Colliculus, Medical Geniculate, Superior Temporal Gyrus

 

Connections in the central auditory system are complex, but a simple summary is that information proceeds from the Organ of Corti to spiral ganglion cells and the VIIIth nerve afferents in the ear, to the cochlear nuclei, many crossing in the trapezoid body to the superior olive in the brain stem. Then all ascending fibers stop in the inferior colliculus in the midbrain and the medial geniculate body in the thalamus, before reaching the cortex in the superior temporal gyrus. All auditory afferents synapse in the cochlear nuclei and in the thalamus. Beyond that simplification, second order fibers from the cochlear nuclei proceed rostrally in several different pathways. Afferents are generally distributed bilaterally so unilateral damage at any level does not usually result in deafness in either ear.
