Tomatis Listening Method
The Tomatis Listening Method uses electronically modified music to re-educate a person’s listening system, by stimulating and improving the way in which auditory information is processed and thus the way an individual listens and communicates. According to Tomatis practitioners, difficulties in processing sound to its full potential can affect brain functioning, causing problems in attention and behaviour, communication skills, co-ordination, energy levels, learning abilities and sensory integration. The Tomatis Listening Method involves training people to improve or enhance their ability to process sound, and to overcome weaknesses or further develop listening related skills. Listening to the program literally exercises and tones tiny muscles in the ear and helps to build stronger multi-sensory pathways in the brain, improving ability to process sound and enhance communication and cognitive abilities.
