Vision Audio Inc., created the
popular EASe (Electronic Auditory Stimulation effect) CD series in 1995
and has now created EASe Games, the first PC video game series designed
especially for children with auditory and balance issues. EASe Games are
not only fun to play, but stimulate a child’s auditory/vestibular and
visual/balance sensory inputs, and help teach them to manage noise and
regulate balance.
EASe CDs are the
original, and most widely employed disc-based auditory stimulation program
in the world. Since 1996, tens of thousands of parents, thousands of
therapists and hundreds of non profit organizations have used EASe CDs to
teach auditory hypersensitive children to cope with noise. The April 2007
issue of The Journal for Occupational Therapy featured a study of the
Vital Sounds Therapeutic Listening® program and found it produced a wide
range of improvements in the test subjects and was recommended. EASe CDs
are an important part of the Therapeutic Listening® program.
We recognize
that encouraging an active child to sit and listen to music when they
would rather be at play can be a challenge. Parents have regularly asked
us if their child could play with toys or video games while listening to
EASe CD’s. Our answer has always been, “Yes, with the sound
down.”
Now our children can listen
to their EASe CD audio, while enjoying stimulating, fun and nonviolent
driving and flying video games.
Your child will love playing EASe Games. They will drive a powerful
dune buggy up and down steep hills and cliffs, zoom over the snow in a
snowmobile, fly a hovercraft over the ground and fly their airplane in the
clouds! While EASe Game music stimulates the auditory/vestibular cochlea,
the on-screen action challenges a child’s smooth pursuit and saccadic eye
movement systems with constant stimulation of their sense of altitude,
attitude and spatial orientation. Together, these systems engage and
challenge the child to manage noise and integrate conflicting vestibular
and visual information. This all happens in an exciting gaming
environment.
EASe Games enable your child to drive nearly straight up and down cliffs, and spin
and tumble over and over again, or zoom off through the clouds. If you
watch your child play, you may notice your stomach getting queasy. This is
the EASe game training your brain to habituate to visual disorientation.
Linking this visual stimulation to our music-based auditory stimulation is
a powerful agent for improving balance. 
EASe Games are designed with your child in mind, with beginner levels
designed to ease your child into the virtual world along with lots of
higher difficulty levels to keep them engaged and challenged. EASe Games
are simple to use. They require a minimum of controls, usually just the
mouse and space bar.
EASe Games are easy for parents to use. EASe Games will run on minimum
computer systems, require minimum effort to install and are easy to setup.
An adjustable timer controls the length of each EASe Game session in
five-minute increments from five to thirty minutes, with an exciting
applause at the end of the game and a scoreboard to encourage your child
to play it again.
Your child deserves to have some fun, and to learn how to manage the
noise that torments them and balance issues that cause them constant
difficulty. Now you can help them with EASe Games!
