Research into Listening therapy

Research

Forschung in der Hörtherapie

The discussion about the effectiveness of listening therapy and its scientific basis has long been controversial. It was criticized that there were no sound scientific studies.

Since the publication of the study “Schneider et al: Short-term plasticity of neuro-auditory sound processing by active auditory training according to Tomatis” published in Ann NY Acad Sci, 2022″, which was conducted at a high scientific level, this argument can no longer apply. The effectiveness of hearing therapy according to Dr. A. Tomatis is proven.
