Hi Linda,

Mandy does her The Listening Program sessions with combined air conduction and bone conduction. All other listening is air conduction headphones and speakers. We are just completing a new handout on the ABT Bone Conduction Audio System which I will post here and elsewhere next week.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey Alex,
For individuals not familiar with bone conduction it might be helpful to others to explain how this music is being delivered. Is Mandy listening to the music using the bone conduction system all the time? Just wondering. You have probably sited BC before but if I was new to the site I might be unfamiliar with bone conduction.
I wish I had this while I was pregnant 23 years ago but somehow intuitively I did read aloud and listen to Mozart while pregnant. I also sang the ABC song and when my daughter was 2and 1/2 and in the hospital I sang the ABC song while she was getting an IV. It calmed her down immediately.
Have an inspired day, Linda B.Riddle

Yes, he is listening to Music for Babies, Sound Health, The Listening Program with air and bone conduction delivery, many of the Mozart Effect albums which are a gift from Don Campbell, and a variety of other music genres on our iPods other than classical. Encouraging his mother to playing the flute periodically, and he listens to his oldest brother play guitar!

Ah, but he is already listening to Music for Babies and more, isn’t he? It will be wonderful to see him respond to the music he has been listening to all along, won’t it!
