Do you know where one can find “Jam Jar” in the United States?

given its free, I’m happy to pass on the info.
For my part, however, I tried auditory training (I have receptive language processing disorder)
and it scattered my processing to the point I couldn’t balance and could understand even less.
The process had to be reversed through loud music.
What I learned from it is that some people’s brain’s reorganise to compensate so trying to rebalance things, perhaps particularly in teens and adults, may disturb the way their brains have already compensated.

Saying that, I know Auditory Training worked well for Lucy Blackman

You may be interested to check out the Free Sound Therapy Home Programme available from Sensory Activation Solutions. Their Auditory Activation Method builds on the pioneering work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis (Tomatis method) and Dr. Guy Bérard (Auditory Integration Training) and has been specifically developed with the aim to improve sensory processing, interhemispheric integration and cognitive functioning. It has helped many children and adults with a wide range of learning and developmental difficulties, ranging from dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder to sensory processing disorders and autism. It is not a cure or medical intervention, but a structured training programme that can help alleviate some of the debilitating effects that these conditions can have on speech and physical ability, daily behaviour, emotional well-being and educational or work performance.

There is no catch, it’s absolutely free and most importantly often effective. Check it out at: http://www.sascentre.com/uk/uk_free.html.
