Frequently
Asked Questions:
What form of payment is accepted?
You can pay in our web store with either a credit card or pay pal. We ship in the US by US Priority Mail and internationally via Global Priority Mail. We will only charge you one shipping charge per order, no matter how many EASe CDs you purchase.
How many times should my child listen to the
EASe CDs per day
We recommend two EASe listening sessions per
day, usually starting at a low volume and lasting anywhere from a minimum
of one song to a maximum of 30 minutes. If your child does not have
trouble with tactile hypersensitivity and can wear headphones, you can
start at 30 minutes with a low volume. If your child wants to run around
and play before the end of the session, then cut back the duration and
gradually build up the session time over the next few days.
Can
I let my child listen while asleep?
Yes you can let them
listen during sleeping time. We usually recommend a "boom box" placed next
to the child while they sleep. Do not play it too loud. It is not
necessary. Never play it more than 30 minutes, even in their sleep.
My
child cannot stand to wear headphones. Can my child listen to EASe CDs
with different method than headphones?
Headphones are absolutely the
most effective way to play the EASe CD music for a child. However if your
child is tactile hypersensitive, then car speakers, home stereo, "boom
box" and other methods are less effective, but acceptable.
How long until I see results?
We do not
evaluate every child who's parents buy EASe CDs, so we cannot tell who
will benefit and who will not. For those children for whom the EASe CDs
are appropriate, some react immediately and some take up to three months.
An immediate response can be a sense of calm when listening to the EASe
CDs, as well as improved eye contact, language improvement, balance and
general well being.
Do the EASe CDs cure
Autism?
The EASe CDs do not CURE Autism, Downs Syndrome,
Cerebral Palsy or any other complex brain injury, which tend to be the
underlying cause of auditory hypersensitivity. The EASe CDs train an
individual's brain to habituate to noise and better manage environmental
sound, leading to improved physical, mental and emotional adjustment. If
used by themselves, the condition that caused the hypersensitivity in the
first place will eventually cause it to return, requiring another
listening session every six months or so. When used in conjunction within
a successful holistic approach to treatment, the auditory hypersensitivity
need not ever return.
Which
EASe CD should I purchase?
If you are sure you child is
auditory hypersensitive, by either their actions then you should purchase
as many EASe CDs as you can afford.
If
you are sure your child is auditory hypersensitive, (outward signs are
covering ears, crying at sounds, avoiding loud environments, etc) or a
diagnosis, we recommend that you buy as many EASe CDs as you can afford
and start your listening program right away. Each CD can be listened to
for a maximum of ten hours, and longer programs are more effective than
shorter ones. In this way, you will give your child the maximum
variability in their listening sessions and the best chance for
success.
If
you are not sure your child is auditory hypersensitive, (sometimes
children become auditory defensive and appear more deaf than
hypersensitive, but this IS auditory hypersensitivity) then just purchase
EASe CD
