Maximize learning potential using the Forbrain learning device, improving speech, attention, and memory in people with dyslexia.

"Before we introduced Forbrain into our language learning routine, Marc often struggled with pronouncing certain difficult words in German.

For instance, words like ‘Frühling’ (spring) and ‘Brötchen’ (rolls) were giving him trouble. He would often mumble or mispronounce these words, which affected his overall clarity when speaking German.

However, since we started using Forbrain, we’ve noticed a remarkable improvement. This new technology has made him more self-aware of his pronunciation. Now, he’s become more mindful about each sound in these difficult words."

Seeing improvements in speech!

"After 6 weeks of consistent Forbrain, I’m noticing a difference in my son’s speech. His pronunciation is clearer. He seems more confident speaking up during homeschool lessons. I also think it’s helping him retain information better for his reading comprehension assignments.

While speech therapy is still essential, has been an excellent supplement to reinforce what he practices with his therapist each week. I highly recommend this device to any parents out there looking to support their child’s verbal development and learning abilities at home. It has made at-home speech practice so much easier and more effective!"

How does the Tomatis® sound therapy effectively promote stress relief, reduce anxiety, and induce relaxation?

The Tomatis® Method harnesses tailored auditory stimulation to target specific brain regions associated with emotional regulation and stress management.

Through carefully designed auditory input, it triggers neurological responses that facilitate neural rewiring, ultimately enhancing emotional resilience.

A key aspect of the Tomatis® Method is its unique ability to activate the reticular formation, a crucial regulator of arousal levels in the brain. This activation is achieved by utilizing high-frequency harmonics during the therapy, leading to heightened alertness and relaxation. These effects play a significant role in reducing stress and anxiety.

Additionally, the Tomatis® Method actively encourages mindfulness during sessions, intensifying awareness of auditory experiences. This mindfulness helps individuals stay present, reducing the tendency to ruminate on stressful thoughts and fostering a deep sense of relaxation.

Taking care of our mental health and well-being is of utmost importance!

When we experience persistent stress and anxiety, it can throw us off balance, leaving us feeling drained and overwhelmed even by simple daily tasks.

Dr. Tomatis conducted groundbreaking research that shed light on how the Tomatis® Method can positively impact our mental health and well-being.

The proper functioning of our ears is crucial, as they transmit approximately 80% of sensory messages to the brain. These messages are essential for the limbic system, which houses structures responsible for processing emotions, behavior, motivation, and long-term memory.

An intriguing "side effect" of the Tomatis® Method is a general feeling of relaxation… but in a healthy and alert manner.

This is why many psychologists and mental health professionals worldwide incorporate listening programs alongside traditional therapeutic approaches.
