“…The Tomatis ® Method and exercise the whole ear through air and bone conduction specifically aiming to strengthen the effects of the middle ear, the inner ear, the auditory system as a whole and the central nervous system for the purpose of awakening the connections needed for the brain to fully process auditory information [50,51]. The Tomatis ® Method therefore has the potential for enhancing self-regulation skills through its focus on the improvement of listening skills that impact cognitivejudgmental and affective functioning [52][53][54]. Research also found that it is possible to learn better and achieve better results when following a Tomatis programme due to its positive impact on regulating sensory integration and attention skills, factors specifically associated with self-regulated learning [48].…”

Aim: To evaluate the extent to which the Tomatis ® Method improves self-regulation in a sample of South African university students (N=49). Method: A concurrent, mixed method approach using a three-group pre-post, and repeated postassessment design, was used. Results: The Tomatis ® Method had a positive impact on hyporesponsiveness in the left ear and spatialization of the right ear, on introjected regulation and perseverance, as well as on psychological and social well-being. Benefits were also qualitatively observed regarding improved listening in social and academic contexts, attention and awareness, self-control and interpersonal regulation. Quantitative benefits regarding self-regulation obtained by the Tomatis group were shared to a certain extent by the Mozart group, while the benefits regarding well-being were only in comparison to the control group. Conclusions: The Tomatis ® Method has potential to improve the self-regulation skills of tertiary students. However, more research has to be done, with larger random samples to determine the extent to which the findings can be generalized, as well as to determine the possible role mediating and moderating variables play in the relationship between listening, self-regulation and psychological wellbeing.

“…An overview of over 30 TM studies by Gerritsen showed that the majority of studies demonstrated positive effects of TM therapy. Some of the better documented TM treatments include: • reduction of the Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) by, similarly to autism, increasing the focus on air conducted sounds versus bone conduction [6], [12], [13] • treating dyslexia [6], [13], [20] (that is theoretically connected with left-earedness) by increasing the sensitivity of the right ear • supporting language learning [14], by setting the C1/C2 filters to frequencies most commonly appearing in a given language. TM rehabilitation has also been successfully used for:…”

“…The Tomatis Method (TM) has been shown to help people with various psychological disorders (autism, dyslexia, ADD and more) [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [20] though in some controlled trials the results were also inconclusive [8], [19]. It uses music, but it is not purely music therapy, as it is based on brain and inner ear stimulation by selective sound filtering.…”

The Tomatis Method is a rehabilitation technique used in psychology, the main aim of which is stimulating the cochlea in the inner ear by filtered air-conducted and bone-conducted sounds. The system of electronic filters and amplifiers used for this therapy is called the Electronic Ear. Commonly, it is a commercial analog device that is expensive and after a few years its functionality declines. In this paper, we propose a digital Electronic Ear system using an STM32F4 family micro-controller and ADC/ DAC integrated circuits. The design of the digital sound filters allows to adjust more parameters and overcomes some of the constraints of analog systems. In this paper, we provide a short review of the Tomatis Method, the main functions of the Electronic Ear and we describe the designed system with comparison measurements to the analog original.

The Tomatis Method is a rehabilitation technique used in psychology, the main aim of which is stimulating the cochlea in the inner ear by filtered air-conducted and boneconducted sounds.
