What is the Tomatis® Method?
“Someone may hear well but listen poorly”
The Tomatis® Method works by having you listen to specially prepared music—such as pieces by Mozart, Bach, Haydn, and Handel, as well as Gregorian chants—through unique bone-conduction headphones. If headphones aren’t suitable, a soft belt with built-in bone conduction can be used instead.
The music is gently adjusted in tone and volume, while keeping the rhythm and melody the same. These small changes are designed to catch the ear’s attention and help the brain stay more focused and engaged.
This process is known as the Tomatis® Effect.
Did you know?
Over 80% of the stimulation our brain receives comes from the ear.
The ear not only receives sound but also determines your balance, rhythm and coordination. This explains how the Tomatis® Method can impact across broad and far reaching applications.
Sound stimulation therapy supports hearing and listening across the lifespan.
Example listening programmes include:
Sound & Regulation for teens + adults
Listening & Learning for children / neurodiverse individuals
Balance & Movement for all ages + seniors
Musician’s Listening for musicians, performers + those with reduced hearing

Who can follow the Tomatis® Method?
Almost anyone! From babies, infants, children and teenagers, those aged 1 year to 100-year old adults; suffering from a specific disorder, or not.
Please note: It is not possible to recuperate hearing thresholds with Tomatis® auditory stimulation.
Summary
The Tomatis® Method is a complementary technique that enhances the success of other specialist interventions. Auditory stimulation helps the individual to better integrate:
speech and language therapy / SLT
occupational therapy / OT
educational or music tuition
behavioural therapy / CBT
counselling and talking therapies
…and even stick to exercise plans!
Thanks for listening!
