Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing sound distinctions for auditory conditioning. An audio storage media is used for storing multiple channel audio recordings. The audio storage media is played on a multiple channel audio player. A channel selection device is coupled to the multiple channel audio player for adjusting the strength of each channel of the multiple channel audio player. Headphones are coupled to the channel selection means for allowing the user of the apparatus to listen to at least one channel of the multiple channel audio recordings stored on the audio storage media. By separating the sounds into different channels, a user of the apparatus and method will be able to better distinguish sounds thus increasing the learning ability of the user. <IMAGE>
