Meet Dr. Guy Berard
"Everything happens as if human behavior were largely conditions by the manner in which one hears." - Dr. Berard
Guy Berard, MD
Otolaryngologist (ENT)
History
Dr. Berard was the French Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Specialist, and musician, who invented Auditory Integration Training (AIT). He cured his and his wife's tinnitus by releasing the muscle in the middle ear through modulated and filtered music.
Later, he turned his attention toward autistic and learning-disabled children; thanks to Peter and Annabelle Stehli (Georgianna Institute) - the parents responsible for bringing AIT to America.
How AIT Works
Dr. Berard's method is based on a physiological-educational (not emotional) approach. He knew the tiny muscle of the ear can tighten and not allow sound to flow evenly to the auditory nerve. He knew that if he could make this muscle relax, proper sound flow to nerve and brain would be restored. He did not foresee the immense benefits that uninhibited hearing would have on brain function, learning disabilities, and other brain operations!
Dr. Berard taught about hearing distortions. He said they can contribute to inappropriate or antisocial behavior, irritability, lethargy, impulsivity, and high-tension levels.
After AIT, patient improvements showed more appropriate social response, expression, and interaction with family and peers, reading ability and comprehension, as well as improved articulation and speech.
Research
Only Dr. Berard's methods have been tested and proven, repeatedly, in double-blind studies when conducted exclusively as Dr. Berard designed, in person, with proper filters, and using high definition headphones.
This treatment, ethically, can only be administered in person and not over the internet as some practitioners have unfortunately adopted, deviating from Dr. Berard's methods, that have hurt clients or was deemed ineffective.
In his flagship book, Hearing Equals Behavior, Dr. Berard outlines how he developed AIT, as well as case studies of those healed from "learning disabilities, depression, and even autism." Dr. Berard is the ONLY author of this book.
However, in the decades since his book was published others have plagiarized his book, adding their names to his work, without permission.
Our foundation does not endorse these materials and encourages people to read Dr. Berard's book as he published it years ago. When looking for his book, below is a photo of the authorized book he wrote.
