What is Sound Therapy?

Alfred Tomatis (Ear Nose and Throat Surgeon) is the founder of sound therapy. His research into how an infant’s ear responds to the frequencies in their mother language caused him to question whether children with Learning Difficulties are not only hearing inadequately but also not processing what they hear. He found that often what they hear is distorted or they hear too much at particular frequencies.

In order to learn effectively, a child must be able to pick up and discriminate the sounds of their own language, when the pathways are being laid down in the brain. The right ear has been shown to be the prime listener in early childhood, however by the age of 11, left and right ears should be equal in listening and decoding information. Many children with Learning Difficulties are not right eared, therefore SAMONAS Sound Therapy weights some music on their CDs to the right ear by a few decibels.

What is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)?

In order to function effectively, the brain is required to receive information at a certain speed so it can process it and create normal response. APD causes information to reach the brain at a slower rate of speed and as a result, can often be disordered, causing problems with receptive and expressive language, speech development, learning, socialisation and many other issues.

Causes of APD

APD may manifest through family history, complicated birth, ear infections (especially in the first two years of life), glue ear, allergies and poor motor development. It is present from early childhood, however may not be obvious until the child becomes older and instructions are more complex and given faster. APD can also be part of other disorders such as: Dyslexia dyspraxia autism learning difficulties.

APD Indicators:


  • poor reading

  • poor hand writing

  • poor spelling

  • poor comprehension

  • poor social skills

  • poor speech

  • poor concentration

  • poor focus

  • poor balance & coordination

  • behavioural disorders
