Alfred Tomatis, doctor of medicine, ORL, phoniatric specialist, since 1947, highlighted the relations which exist between the ear and the voice. These discoveries, scientifically proven, independently of him, at the university of the Sorbonne in 1957, were recorded under the name:
of "Tomatis effect" to the Academy of Science and of Medicine of Paris.

The voice contains only what the ear hears (relation hearing-phonation).

It is possible to transform phonation by an auditive stimulation maintained during a certain time (law of remanence).

This stimulation is given by the electronic ear.

From the principles of the Tomatis effect, in synergy with several disciplines like the audiology, phonology, psychology, was born the Tomatis method. It is about a technique of treatment of the disorders of listening and communication, starting from the relations between hearing and of phonation.

It is an educational step, which tends to regulate the problems of training, relation and communication via the human ear in its function of listening, control of the voice and language.

All starts with a test of listening which highlights if you hear all the frequencies well, which is your directing ear as well as the good or the faulty operation of your bone hearing (the case of resonance of the body) and of your aerial listening.

It is then about a sound stimulation under earphones of the nervous circuits of hearing and attention, involving the musculature of the middle ear.

Then, an active phase makes it possible to improve retro-vocal control and thus, to regain, increase and express all its potentialities.
