Special note about analogical treatment of sound: In the Tomatis® Method community, there used to be a debate about differences between analogue and digital treatment of Sound by Electronic Ear. This debate ended when Alfred Tomatis started to use a digital filter in 1998. Further explanation about the difference between analogue and digital sound can be found here.

Air and bone conduction headphones

These headphones are key equipment for the Tomatis^® Method. Their exceptional acoustic quality optimizes the sound transmitted from the TalksUp^® device. They come with a built-in transducer (vibrator) that transmits sound by bone conduction at the top of the head. This dual transmission of sound at two separate times can be programmed with special delays to help the brain analyze the auditory message.

Features and options

• HD Sound quality
• Bone/air conduction
• Auditory Laterality settings
• HD microphone function for Active Voice feedback treatment
• Children sizes available
• Wireless version available for groups and individuals (Not Bluetooth)

Tomatis® Bone Conduction Kit

This device is ideal for working with sensitive individuals as a replacement for headphones at the start of the program, or as an additional tool to reinforce your therapy action.

This solution enables you to work with:

• Babies and children under the age of 2
• Children presenting a very strong sensitivity to sounds
• Hypotonic people and people with sensory-motor delay who require a more important stimulation in addition to the Tomatis^® headset

Stimulation is done uniquely through bone conduction, in a non-invasive and safe manner for the baby whose fontanel is not yet closed.

This device is based on clinically proven technology and tested by our Tomatis^® experts and experienced consultants.
This has allowed us to demonstrate excellent results based on the Tomatis^® protocols developed specifically for these types of applications.

It is intended for exclusive use in the therapist's presence to monitor the subject's reactions and to modify the intervention at any time.

TLT

TLT is a powerful assessment device. The TLT (Tomatis Listening Test) measures the individual’s perception of frequencies through bone and air conduction and is used to establish a listening curve for each individual based on his or her listening thresholds.

Although its roots are in audiometry, the listening test is a fully independent test. Its purpose is to determine how the individual communicates with others. The test is made up of a series of subtests, the synthesis of which results in the elaboration of curves, called the 'listening profile.' This listening profile is specific to each person. It is extremely simple to do the test. The client responds either manually or orally – depending on the client – to acoustic stimuli perceived through headphones that transmit sound by both air and bone conduction. Each ear is tested in turn. On average, the entire test takes about fifteen minutes and the data are digitally compiled.

TLT integrates a unique and specific technology, calibration and protocol of use. This assessment tool is training equipment and cannot be considered as a medical device. It is not intended to establish a medical diagnosis.
