Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the success rate of Children & Adults who undertake the Dynamic Listening Systems Therapy?
> Over 90% of all who undertake the DLS Therapy report significant improvement and/or remediation of their primary concern.

2. What is considered ‘success’ in this therapeutic context?
> Success is that the presenting or underlying problem has been resolved or remediated. For example, if a child has a reading problem, but the reading problem is due to an auditory processing problem, we will have resolved the auditory piece and he/she is likely reading better. Yet, there may be gaps in the child’s reading and vocabulary skills due to being behind in comparison to his/her peers.

In the case of inattention, the child will attend. In depression the depression is resolved and the person is asymptomatic. These changes are often life changing. Many cases have been referred to Dynamic Listening Systems after being in speech or occupational therapy for 3 to 4 years with minimal improvement. One can imagine the joy to finally make significant and profound gains within 3 to 4 weeks.

3. Does the Dynamic Listening System equipment take a lot of technical skill and management to operate?
>DLS equipment is state-of-the art, and has been designed with high-quality components that result in very few technical issues. Built by DLS sound engineers, the units are intentionally designed to be operated by non-technical providers after an initial two-hour instruction period.

4. What is the warranty on the equipment? What happens if there is a problem?
>There is a one-year warranty on the DLS equipment. Any concerns are dealt with immediately by technical supportt. You have our full attention until your unit is back on line – though this is a rare occurrence. DLS has units operating on four continents.

5. Can I train a COTA to provide this therapy while s/he is providing normal OT services?
> We encourage this method of providing DLS therapy for COTA’s and OT ‘s.

6. How can OT’s submit private insurance claims for Listening Therapy?
