What is the Tomatis® Method?
The Tomatis® Method is an neuro-auditory stimulation program that uses music and ones own voice to improve the listening of a person whose hearing functions correctly. It works thanks to a 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.
We say that the brain puts itself in the listening position.
The Tomatis® Method re-patterns the connection between the ear, the brain, the body, and even the heart at the emotional level.
This is a solution based method. As a practitioner, I do not diagnose or provide therapy. The Tomatis® Method works well alone or in conjunction with other therapies, and can help those dealing with many issues caused by listening difficulties. Think of me more as a personal trainer - for your ears!
I’m not so much concerned where you come from but where you are going, which is why the motto of The Listening Lab is:
“It’s only upwards from here!”

The Tomatis® Listening Journey
Emotional Regulation with the Tomatis® Method
Who is Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis?
Dr. Tomatis was a French ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor) who laid the groundwork for a new multi-disciplinary science called Audio-Psycho-Phonology (APP). It explains "why the way we listen" has a profound impact on almost all aspects of our being. In the early 1950's, Dr. Tomatis also discovered that Listening Problems are the root cause of many learning problems. Dr. Tomatis not only discovered the root cause of learning disabilities, but also developed a highly effective technique to remedy them. Thanks to his revolutionary discoveries, he enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and adults.
The work of Tomatis has revolutionized our understanding of the role our ears play in our day-to day lives. Thanks to him, hundreds of thousands of people now live fuller and richer lives.
The Tomatis® Listening Therapy has helped children and adults with auditory processing problems, dyslexia, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, autism, and those with sensory integration and motor-skill difficulties. It has also helped adults fight depression, learn foreign languages faster, develop better communication skills, and improve both creativity and on-the-job performance. Many musicians, singers and actors also found it helpful in fine-tuning their artistic skills.
