The history behind listening therapy
Systemic Listening Therapy is based on the research and life's work of the French ear, nose and throat physician Dr. Alfred Tomatis (1920-2001).  Dr. Tomatis discovered the relationship between the ear and the voice. This first discovery became the cornerstone of the Tomatis Method. With the help of changed frequencies, gated music and a bone conductor, Tomatis created a device (the Electronic Ear) that enabled the patient to hear their voice with those frequencies that were missing in their listening profile. Based on this discovery, further therapeutic applications followed. Â
Since 2007 his research has been enhanced and further developed by the German Auris Integralis Institute.  By incorporating the most recent neurobiological as well as neuropsychological discoveries, they have created a more holistic therapy concept known as Systemic Listening Therapy.
