Spectre vocal moyen à long terme de la parole continue avant et après les sessions audio-vocales Tomatis®
Three subjects have undergone the Tomatis® audio‐vocal training, which is a method that filters sidetone for auditory feedback. Long‐term average spectra of voiced and whispered speech was taken before and after the training with the following results: (1) Decrease in energy in the 50‐ to 200‐Hz zone; (2) increase in energy in the 800‐ to […]
L’effet de l’audio-psycho-phonologie sur le bégaiement
The general conclusion to be drawn from this investigation is that auditory re-education or audio-vocal training with the aid of the Electronic Ear as defined by Tomatis® May lead to i) an improvement of hearing behaviour, ii ) a corresponding modification of the physical-acoustic and temporalrhythmic characteristics of speech, which , iii) give rise to greater […]
Conséquences psycholinguistiques d’une surdité d’oreille droite versus d’oreille gauche
A comparative analysis was conducted to determine the behaviour of people with left-sided and right-sided damage of the hearing organ. Special attention was paid to the recognised cases of peri- and post-lingual damage. The cases of 110 children aged 6-15 years were analysed. Forty-eight children had right-sided and 62 had left-sided deafness. Achievements at school, […]
Latéralisation auditive versus troubles du langage
Many scientists believe that stuttering results from incomplete lateralization of brain functions during the development of speech. Therefore, I assume in this paper that stuttering may be caused by irregular lateralization of auditory functions. In my research, in addition to the dichotic listening test. I have also used A. Tomatis®‘ audiolaterometer to evaluate auditory lateralisation. […]
Projet audio-linguistique d’améloration de la compréhension auditive et de l’expression orale d’une langue étrangère
The goal of this article is to describe the Audio Language Project, an important experimental study in the context of the Language Program financed by the European Community. A later study will examine the scientific and theoretical bases of the experiment The 2nd chapter (The Project) will present the goals and the setup of the […]
Amélioration multimodale de jeunes adultes musiciens de cultures diverses : une étude pilote impliquant la Méthode Tomatis®
Musicians, seeking stress relief and vocal/instrumental enhancement, often turn to the Tomatis® Method of sensori-neural integration training, based on the interdependence and interaction between hearing and listening, psychological attitude and speech and language. The paucity of impact studies on musicians, despite its acclaimed efficacy, has prompted the current multidisciplinary pilot study, involving a two group, […]
Un cas de trouble du traitement auditif ou la découverte de la clarté de la parole faite par Sue
Auditory processing disorders are more readily acknowledged nowadays than in the past. Only until recently, the ability to hear and the organ of the ear were the last parameters to be examined with respect to learning difficulties and speech delay. Fortunately however, now the ear has come to be appropriately viewed as a fundamental factor […]
Etude de cas : orthophonie assistée par Tomatis®
Objective: Since Tomatis® Listening Training is said to activate the auditory and attention circuits of the brain, we wanted to see if there was a synergistic benefit from combining it simultaneously with speech therapy. Methods: In the first case, a fourteen-year-old girl with Autism and no speech despite eight previous courses of speech therapy, received […]
Le rôle du contrôle auditif dans le processus d’articulation
In the etiology of articulation disorders, the most frequently mentioned auditory perception disorders include impairments of the receptive (hearing) function and disorders of speech sound discrimination (disorders of phonemic hearing). One should not, however, disregard the disorders of other auditory functions that can affect the process of articulation. It is therefore interesting to examine auditory […]
Les résultats de la stimulation de la Méthode Tomatis® chez des enfants avec des nodules sur les cordes vocales
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of audio-psycho-linguistic stimulation on the quality of voice in children with vocal fold nodules. The study subjects included 30 patients aged 6 to 12 years, with vocal nodules and accompanying dysphonia. Laryngoscopy, acoustic analysis of voice and the tests of listening ability and auditory laterality […]
