The field of Sound Therapy was pioneered by the French ear, nose and throat specialist, Dr Tomatis in the
late 1940s when he discovered that he could repair the damaged hearing of opera singers and factory
workers by playing to them the sounds they could no longer hear. He discovered the link between the ear
and the voice and discovered that by improving the way we listen, he could dramatically improve learning,
balance, coordination and posture as well as communication and creativity.

HOW IT ACTUALLY WORK?
Sound Therapy uses specially recorded classical music and nature sounds to retrain the way you process sound and the way you listen. It educates and exercises your ear and brain to focus on those sounds which are useful to you and to filter out those that are not.
SOUND THERAPY CAN RESTORE THE ABILITY TO HEAR FREQUENCIES WHICH MAY HAVE BECOME DIMINISHED THROUGH EAR INFECTIONS OR LOUD NOISE EXPOSURE.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You listen to the specially recorded music through headphones for a short period each day. You can listen while you do a wide range of non-intensive activities such as quiet playing, arts and craft, fine motor activities or low impact exercises like walking or just relaxing. You can listen in any quiet place with a CD player and headphones. Sound therapy may also involve the use of Tibetan bowls, ting tsas (very small cymbals) and gantias (bells).
