Dr Alfred Tomatis was born on January 1st, 1920 in Nice, France and he died on December 5th, 2001. Dr Tomatis laid the foundation for a new multidisciplinary science called Audio-Psycho-Phonology (APP). This methodology illustrates why “the way we listen” is fundamentally related to most aspects of how we live.
In the early fifties, Tomatis also discovered that deficiencies in listening perception were the source of many learning difficulties. Tomatis developed a highly effective method to treat this.
Tomatis attempts to understand the unique characteristics of each patient. The listening therapy – involving frequencies and sounds – is a gentle, individually designed, form of treatment that respects the natural laws of hearing. This leads to a very gentle and natural healing process.
The Tomatis method can be compared to the traditional Chinese healing method of acupuncture. Only 30 years ago it was frowned upon by orthodox medicine as ineffective charlatanry. However, due to its success, the method has become more and more recognized and respected – even though there is no scientific evidence for its effects. Is it not common practice science to question the logic behind a theory?
