There is no scientific support for the use of listening therapy in people with autism.
Many people with autism are sensitive to sounds and several treatments have been designed to help this: auditory integration therapy (AIT), Tomatis method, and Samonas sound therapy. This systematic review was designed to see whether these treatments help people with autism. The authors note that many different types of studies have been done and it is hard to compare the different studies. In their review, however, they did not find any sign that listening therapy works. The authors did find that it is important to keep the volume of the therapy low so as not to hurt the ears.
