Tomatis sound training is a dynamic listening program that helps the ear and brain work together through neuroplasticity; the ability of the brain to modify and change.

What Is Tomatis?

Use music to improve the way your brain works
— Sue Sonkin

The Listen for Change Program

Using leading edge Tomatis technology brings you an auditory integration system that uses both air and bone conduction. The program is designed to exercise the muscles of the middle ear, which strengthens and builds these muscles. As the muscles become stronger and send enhanced feedback to the nervous system, so does our ability for focus, sustained listening and attention.

Why Tomatis

Changing the Brain Through the Ear and Bone

Listening is important because it connects us to our world all throughout our life. Tomatis uses music specifically designed to impact various structures of the ear; resulting in more accurate sensory processing, which drives development, behavior and learning.

Dr. Alfred Tomatis an ear nose and throat physician developed the method more than 60 years ago. Our science stands apart and above the rest. Each client receives a program specifically designed for their individual needs as identified by a highly trained practitioner.

Working with us

The first step is to consult over the phone or online.

Then arrange an assessment.

Tomatis Training Cycle

A Tomatis training cycle comprises four distinct steps: 1. Step 1: First listening training 14 days 2. Step 2: No listening for a 6-8 week break for integration 3. Step 3: Second listening training 14 days 4. Step 4: Next steps are determined by the individual plan and progress, but a 3rd 14 day training is typical

The length may differ individually. We are available for free consultation to discuss the process and any questions you may have.

Research on the Tomatis Method – Including Studies with Children

  • Effectiveness in Autism (2024 Study): This study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that Tomatis training improved symptoms in children with autism by enhancing cortical reward loops and reducing auditory hypersensitivity.

 

Research done on Tomatis Auditory Stimulation

  • Autism & Auditory Symptoms: Recent 2024 research in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience suggests the method can improve behavioral symptoms in children with ASD by targeting auditory hypersensitivity.
