The research carried out by A.A. Tomatis, a specialist in hearing and language concerning linguistic ability resulted in the elaboration of this method which covers fields of audition, phonation an d psychology. Listening The Tomatis Method envisages an improvement in listening mechanisms particularly for treatment of certain attention and memory deficiencies. Through the implementation of the processes that alter energy and self-control through the right-hand circuits, the method intervenes in the processes that control concentration. The voice Wheter it concerns the spoken voice or the singing voice, the correction of the voice results in an improvment in dysphonic problems and deficiencies that voice specialists can encounter in their field.
Language The action of the Electronic Ear and the application of a range of sound waves that incorporates the different phases of the elaboration of a language from the time in the womb onwards allow the treatment of certain expressive difficulties such as stuttering and articulations problems. The written language also has a place in these corrective processes. Dyslexia, spelling problems and other schools related problems that are often associated with these expressive difficulties are also correctable via this psycho-pedagogic method. Also, profound communication problems (autism, schizophrenia...) can in some cases, be helped by this technique. Behaviour As a result of other applications of the Tomatis Method, there is often an effect on the relationship factor of behavioural problems such as aggressiveness, tiredness, depression, and even epilepsy. Foreign languages We only speak a language well if we hear it well. This means that once you can analyse the sounds and recognise the rythm and the melody of the language, you will be able to speak this language well. The Tomatis method allows you to get an "ear" for the language that is to being learnt by the individual. A statistical study carried out by universities on the European SOCRATES programme showed that the Tomatis Method allows you to learn a language in half the time that it would normally take using normal teaching methods, a time gain of 50%. Others applications In music, the restoration of systems that analyse sounds and control psycho-motivity leads to a profound improvement in the performances of the musician. Another important aspect of the work of A.A. Tomatis is the discovery of intra-uterine hearing and its impact on the relationship between mother and child. Babies followed by A.A. Tomatis eat and sleep well, react to all that is happening around them and smile when they listen to Mozart !
