About Advanced Brain Technologies

Advanced Brain Technologies develops auditory brain training programs that change how the brain processes sound, language, and learning, helping children, teens, and adults who have struggled to connect, focus, or feel calm. When the auditory system struggles to process sound accurately, the effects reach far beyond hearing, into attention, language, emotional regulation, and behavior. ABT’s programs address that underlying system directly.

The Listening Program® is ABT’s neuroscience-based listening therapy, using neuroacoustically modified classical and world music delivered through the Waves Air and Bone Conduction Headphones to build auditory neural networks through structured, progressive listening protocols. The auditory system is more directly connected to the autonomic nervous system than any other sensory channel, which is why sound sensitivity is so often at the center of the challenges families are managing. The program supports auditory processing, sound sensitivity, stress response, emotional regulation, and cognitive development across the lifespan.

ABT was founded in 1998 by Alex Doman, a third-generation pioneer in brain health and neurodevelopment with more than 30 years of experience working with families, clinicians, educators, and organizations worldwide. The Listening Program is supported by independent peer-reviewed research published in scientific and clinical journals. Explore the Research.

More than 10,000 occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, educators, and credentialed providers worldwide have been certified in The Listening Program. ABT is an approved continuing education provider for the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). TLP Provider Certification is available as a self-paced online course approved for 0.55 AOTA CEUs.

Making a difference

More than a million people have experienced The Listening Program since 1999. For a parent, it often means watching a child who struggled with sound, learning, or connection begin to thrive. For a clinician or educator, it means consistent, measurable outcomes with the clients who need them most. For an adult managing sound sensitivity, auditory processing challenges, or nervous system dysregulation, it means a structured daily practice that addresses the source of those difficulties directly. TLP has been used in homes, schools, clinics, and hospitals across more than 35 countries for more than 25 years.

Programs Designed for the Brain

The Listening Program is built as a progressive system of four complete programs, each targeting a different dimension of auditory and brain development: TLP Spectrum for sensory regulation and sound sensitivity, TLP Achieve for auditory processing and language, TLP Level One for advanced cognitive and communication development, and TLP inTime for rhythm, timing, and motor planning. A TLP Certified Provider matches the starting point to the individual’s specific profile. TLP is available as TLP Online or a TLP System with the Waves Air and Bone Conduction Headphones.

Backed by Research

Numerous independent peer-reviewed studies have documented the effects of The Listening Program on auditory processing, sound sensitivity, sensory integration, attention, communication, and learning. A 2024 quantitative review found a mean effect size of 0.41 across all outcomes, with individual studies showing effect sizes ranging from 0.23 to 1.28. Studied populations include children and adults with auditory processing disorder, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and learning disabilities. Published studies include clinical trials, pilot studies, and real-world applications across schools, clinics, hospitals, and homes.
