Landon’s Story: Sound Sensitivity, ADHD, PANS, Anxiety

Landon’s challenges appeared across many parts of daily life: attention, impulsivity, anxiety, sleep, school, and family relationships. One thread connected many of them: sound.
​
At eight, he was easily overwhelmed, struggled to follow directions, and often reacted before he could stop himself. After 3.5 months of The Listening Program®, his screening scores improved in every measured area:

🔹 Learning and attention
🔹 Auditory processing
🔹 Speech and language
🔹 Sensory motor
🔹 Social behavioral

His mother saw changes beyond the scores. The blender no longer bothered him. Busy places became easier. He was calmer, more organized, more conversational, and better able to recover when upset. He even began saying, “I feel like I’m able to focus.”

For providers, Landon’s case shows how sound sensitivity can affect regulation, communication, participation, and relationships, and why supporting auditory processing may open the door to broader functional change across home, school, clinical, and community settings over time.
