The Program
The Listening Program Classic Kit is the core of The Listening Program. It is initially used following a standard schedule of listening five days per week for fifteen to 30 minutes each day, over the course of 8-16 weeks. Then the Kit is used for a second cycle to ensure the listener has received sufficient auditory stimulation to accomplish and maintain initial listening goals and results. Most people find they feel better and realize further gains with continued listening beyond the second cycle.
TLP Specialized CD5 are used for program refinement in specific areas such as speech and language abilities, and for preparatory listening with younger or more sensory sensitive listeners prior to beginning standard schedules. Programs are individualized using the proprietary A, B, C design and CD5 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. Listening is done through high-quality TLP-approved headphones.
Modular CD Design
The modular design of each sixty-minute TLP CD includes four 15-minute segments. There are three 5-minute tracks per segment. The first track of a segment is “A’s 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 Of Arcangelos
The Listening Program CD5 include audiophile quality recordings of 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. The music is carefully selected, arranged and recorded to maximize the benefits of each TLP Program and CD. Compositions include the works of Mozart, Hayden, Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli, Salieri, Telemann, and others. High quality nature sounds are also interwoven into many of the soundscapes for added listening training and spatial awareness.
