Are your ears equal? No, they are not. If you are left-ear dominant or right-ear dominant makes a huge difference in everyday life and academic performance.

According to Dr Tomatis, children are left-ear dominant at birth. When 6-7 years old, they should naturally switch their auditory laterality to right-ear dominance.

This transition doesn’t always happen, which may cause lifelong problems with learning and emotional regulation.

HEARING is a passive ability to perceive sound and involves no effort. LISTENING is an active process that involves both your brain and body.

A story about a man with MS who got his voice back with a device under his tongue. It's one of many case descriptions from Dr Norman Doidge's book "The Brains' Way of Healing". Chapter 8 in the book (70 pages) is dedicated to the Tomatis® Method and its remarkable results.

Dr Doigde writes: "The brain is actually a supple, malleable organ, as ready to unlearn as it is to learn, capable of transforming vicious circles into virtuous circles, of resetting and repairing its internal communications. Far more than once dreamed possible, the brain can—if not always cure—heal itself."

Key points from the book:
■ Improvements in brain functioning are possible, no matter in what circumstances we find ourselves.
■ Without a doubt, the brain is able to change, repair, and reorganise itself.
■ Effective stimulation of the Central Nervous System brings about surprising changes in many different areas (as in this case with electrodes under the tongue)
■ Chapter 8: A Bridge of Sound — Putting on headphones with the beautiful Tomatis® Method music gives equally astonishing results (and is easier to do for most people).

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲? Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is a fascinating phenomenon where the brain's neural networks can grow and reorganise, leading to changes in its functioning.

This means that our brains have the incredible ability to be rewired and adapt to new circumstances.

The Tomatis® Method uses the power of neuroplasticity to speed up learning and development. The method stimulates the auditory system to enhance brain functioning. By understanding and harnessing the power of neuroplasticity, we can unlock new possibilities for personal growth and development.

How playing an instrument and listening to music can help unlock an "ADHD brain" and help you to learn. There are lots of great tips in this article about Brandon and the musical strategies his mum used to help him handle his ADHD:

🎵 Music lessons 🎵 Rhythm 🎵 Dancing 🎵 Drawing 🎵 Music books 🎵 Marching 🎵 Singing 🎵 Music and nature combined

A Tomatis® training programme led by a Licensed Practitioner provides the music, rhythms, marches, singing, and structure needed to greatly speed up the process. Also check out our DYI tools (Tomatis NZ Shop).

"My youngest child was struggling with Auditory Processing because of severe tonsillitis that lead to glue ears and learning difficulties. We have tried other interventions that helped to a certain degree. We started a Tomatis® listening programme and after only two sessions the change was remarkable. I am amazed." We hear quotes like this from more parents in NZ than we can count. Want to know more? https://www.tomatis.co.nz/what-is-tomatis/
