It’s a bit like Ear Gymnastics.
Working on stimulating the auditory system and related functions, the Tomatis® Method may assist with listening, speech, various auditory processing disorders (APD), learning difficulties, anxiety and stress for adults and children.
It works thanks to a TalksUp® device that causes musical contrasts by suddenly and unpredictably changing the timbre and intensity of the music. This effect will surprise the brain and trigger its attentional mechanisms.
The auditory training requires intensive sessions and is monitored by repeated listening tests and controlled interviews.
