Therapeutic listening is a novel concept that also provides musical stimulation for increasing various skills, as described by Frick and Montez (2005): Therapeutic listening uses developmental and sensory integration frameworks, uses the organized sound patterns inherent in music, uses music that is electronically altered to elicit a specific response, focuses on postural organization and breath regulation (core), and provides a catalyst for eliciting emergent skills (p. 2). Therapeutic…

quick method for assessing middle ear function. Currently, tympanometry is typically conducted at a conventional probe tone frequency of 226-Hz. Tympanometry performed using this frequency has proven valid in identifying a variety of middle ear disorders (Lilly,…
