If a Person Cannot Be Tested Audiometrically, Can He/She Still Receive AIT?
The AIT music is processed in two ways. In one way, termed ‘modulation,’ low and high frequency portions of the sound spectrum are attenuated at random. The second way involves using narrow-band filters to dampen specific frequencies in the sound spectrum. These frequencies, referred to as ‘auditory peaks,’ are those which are heard much better than their adjacent frequencies. An audiotest is often given to an individual prior to AIT to determine if he/she has auditory peaks in his/her hearing. If one or more peaks are evident, then narrow-band filters may be used during the AIT listening sessions to lower the volume of sound at those frequencies. In cases in which a person cannot perform reliably on an audiotest, filters are not recommended, but the music is still modulated throughout the 10 hours of listening. Dr. Guy Berard, the pioneer of AIT, has often stated that it is better to use no filters than the wrong filters. He states that narrow-band filters are often not necessary for
