A research project funded by the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center of Vista Del Mar (RDCSC/VDM)
will be conducted on the Vista Del Mar campus of the RDCSC/VDM to evaluate the effectiveness
of the Listening Project Protocol (LPP) in children who have difficulties with autonomic and
behavior regulation in the classroom. The LPP is designed as a "neural exercise" to reduce
auditory hypersensitivities, to improve auditory processing of speech, and to improve
behavioral state regulation. The LPP uses acoustic stimulation to exercise the neural
regulation of the middle ear structures to rehabilitate and to normalize the acoustic
transfer function of the middle ear structures. The current study is being conducted to
evaluate efficacy and feasibility of the LPP with emotionally disturbed and learning
challenged young people and will use objective measures to evaluate changes in acoustic
transfer function of the middle ears structures, auditory processing skills, physiological
state regulation, sensory symptoms, and academic pre and post testing.
