Auditory integration training (AIT)is a scam that preys upon a parents desire to do everthing possible for their child. Google AIT and you will see there are no studies, only "reports" that validate AIT. The idea about "training" the middle ear muscles is entirely untrue on an anatomy and physiology standpoint. Why is there zero research out there valdiating a procedure that has been around for over 40 years? Before you spend a penny on AIT, make an appointment, that your insurance WILL cover, to talk to an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician or audiologist about it. AIT used to target individuals with autism and now that auditory processing disorders (APD) have been identified these individuals are now being targeted. It angers me that people are out there taking advanatage of these families.
