Professor Alfred Tomatis’ method is a training in training auditory attention and modification of hearing at specific frequencies, which improves both auditory perception and permanent voice modification. Professor Alfred Tomatis has proven that the organ of hearing has a significant effect on the sense of balance, concentration, motor coordination and also on muscle tone.

By means of appropriately filtered sounds of Mozart music and Gregorian chants, centres in the cerebral cortex are stimulated. This increases the brain’s receptive capacity and improves the perception of external stimuli, enabling the patient to function at a higher level in the motor, language, communication and social spheres. The therapy is suitable for audiences of all ages. It works well with both children and adults.
