About

What is Sound Therapy?

Sound Therapy is a listening program to improve ear and brain health. By stimulating the auditory pathways and the brain, it improves hearing and auditory processing, reduces tinnitus, stress, fatigue and insomnia. Listeners report better hearing in a noisy room, better concentration, focus and memory, better learning and academic performance, better balance and co-ordination, relief of dizziness and vertigo and a general feeling that the brain is sharper and communication is easier.

How It Works

Sound Therapy is a unique listening system using new knowledge about the brain.

Based on the discoveries of the ear specialist, Dr Tomatis, the method developed by Patricia and Rafaele Joudry is now available as a portable self-help program that can be used by anyone, anywhere.

Specially recorded programs of highly filtered classical music are used to rehabilitate the ear and stimulate the brain. Sound Therapy stimulates the ear by presenting it with constantly alternating sounds of high and low tone, within the complex structure of classical music. Stimulation via the sensory pathways re-maps the brain, improving the way we understand and process sound. The brain, in turn, sends signals back to the ear to improve its function. One theory suggests that this feedback loop results in better performance of the middle ear muscles and of the tiny, hair-like receptor cells in the inner ear.

As the ear becomes open and receptive to high frequency sounds these are then passed on to the brain. Research has shown that brain function is improved through high frequency sound. There is an increase in blood flow to certain centres along with increased electrical activity. The results observed in Sound Therapy listeners include increased energy, reduced fatigue with improved focus and creativity, a reduction in the need for sleep, and an almost permanent state of peace and relaxation.

The self-help program is done using the Ultra Light personal music headset player and Listeners' Workbook. It is easy to do and takes no time out of your day. In fact, many people say it gives them an extra two or three hours a day, due to the reduced need for sleep!
How You Use It
Sound Therapy is easy to use

Sound Therapy is listened to on portable equipment at low volume as you go about your daily activities. It is very simple to use and takes no time out of your day. However, as it is a self-help program, listeners do need to read one of Rafaele Joudry's books: Sound Therapy: Music to Recharge your Brain or Triumph Over Tinnitus or Why Aren't I Learning? In order to understand the correct use of the program and to answer any questions that might come up. (more)
