​​What is Auditory Integration Therapy?

WHAT IS IT?

Auditory Integration Therapy was developed by Dr Guy Bérard, a French ENT specialist. It re-educates the hearing mechanism by giving the muscles and reflexes in the inner ear a physical workout. It addresses the hearing pattern (Hypersensitive hearing, distortions and dyslaterality), and the vestibular (inner balance) system/sensory processing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Bérard method of Auditory Integration Therapy (AIT) helps reorganise the brain's processing capabilities. The specially designed stimulation of Bérard AIT provides intensity, repetition, and duration. This is the criteria for neuroplasticity to develop new neural pathways. Bérard AIT can improve connectivity in the processing system to the brain and body so that it can function in a well-integrated manner without becoming overloaded with disorganised information. It is specifically designed to quickly trigger improvements in auditory processing and sensory processing difficulties.
