Dr.
Tomatis Discovered the Link Between the Ear
and the Voice
Research
NOTE: The “Tomatis Method”, as
mentioned in some of the studies below, refers to a
method of auditory stimulation developed by Dr.
Alfred Tomatis. Dynamic Listening Systems (DLS)
founder, and the current Integrated Listening
Systems (iLs) trainer, Ron Minson, MD was a close
friend and student of Dr. Tomatis; therefore the iLs
professional training and clinical studies continue
in the same vein as both Tomatis and DLS.
The preliminary research
listed below give a clear indication that more
in-depth, controlled studies in this field are
warranted. Some of the studies refer to strictly
auditory stimulation (e.g. Tomatis Method and
Dynamic Listening Systems) and other studies measure
a combination of auditory, visual, and motor
stimulation (e.g. the Longitudinal Study from U. of
New Mexico). These studies and articles can be found
via the link following their description.
