Abstract: In our days of high technology, Tomatis discovered a high-tech method of revealing the inner power of sound, the power that actually has a "superpower" for increasing mental abilities, healing and energizing.

According to Tomatis, "sound can be an extraordinary source of energy." Today, in his seventy years, he is still energetic, three to four hours a day is enough for him to sleep, because when he is working, special music sounds in the background. But Tomatis did not focus only on tonic music.

Key words: music, sound, brain, energy, body, result, mechanism,

“Some sounds are just as effective as a couple of cups of coffee,” says eminent French hearing specialist Alfred Tomatis.

This means that we can use music as a tonic.

Ever since the time when humanity first created music, it has served its daily purposes. Lullabies, war songs, sea songs - the list is as long as history and culture.

In these high-tech days, Tomatis has discovered a high-tech method of unlocking the inner power of sound, the power that actually has "superpower" to enhance mental abilities, heal and energize.

According to Tomatis, "sound can be an extraordinary source of energy." Today, in his seventy years, he is still energetic, three to four hours a day is enough for him to sleep, because when he works, special music sounds in the background. But Tomatis did not focus on tonic music only.

For several decades, he carried out special measurements using sophisticated equipment to find out how different sound frequencies affect a person: which ones supply him with energy and which ones take it away from him.

And how does this happen? He came to a startling discovery. “The ear is not just for hearing,” Tomatis said publicly, “the ear is for energizing the mind and body.”

Are you receiving energy through your ears? When Tomatis experimented with the music of Bach, Mozart, Gregorian writings, his scientific instruments read that fatigue, fatigue, and stress relief occurs when the gray cells in your brain are not receiving enough electrical energy. In other words, they lack strength.

Tomatis claims that these cells work like small electric batteries. They generate electricity in your brain, supplying it with brain waves that are recorded on the EEG. You might think that these little batteries are charged by the body's metabolism. Not really, Tomatis says. And this is precisely his main achievement.

Your battery cells are charged with something from the outside, and that something is sound, in particular high frequency sound. The transformation of the energy coming from the outside is done by the cells of the corti. If you were to travel through your inner ear, after wandering through the intricate labyrinths of the ear cochlea, you will suddenly come to the Corti Line, the longest line of the most accurate dancers in the entire world.

Arranged in rows, 24,600 elongated cages dance exactly to each sound, like a corps de ballet in the Music Hall of Radio City.

The energy generated from this unusual dance flows into your brain, and some of it is separated to travel through the vestibular branch of the cerebellum to the muscles in your body.

High frequency sounds energize your brain while relieving muscle tension and balancing your body in various ways. They affect you even after you listen to them. Some of these high-frequency, energy-filled sounds are used in Superlearning music as well.

But you don't get energy just by listening to high frequency sounds. It is this discovery by Tomatis that explains why some North Americans do not get a boost of vitality by listening to Baroque music, as do Eastern Europeans. There is something else that accompanies hearing, mainly caused by sound pollution - since Eastern Europeans are used to a different sound background than ours.

Tomatis also discovered that you get used to listening within the sound spectrum of your native language. As a result, people perceive music in very different ways. The range of listening in Slavic languages ​​includes both very low and very high frequencies. The area of ​​American English is much narrower.

You come into this world with the ability to perceive a wide range of sounds, with the ability to perceive sounds with a frequency of 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Then age, sometimes ear infections and almost always sound pollution impair perception. The noise of a jackhammer with its frequency of 3,500 beats per minute, traffic, sirens, subways, screaming music, knocking mechanisms - all this reduces the spectrum of hearing.

According to Tomatis, one of the reasons why we start to feel worse as we age is that we cannot hear high frequency sounds that can recharge us.

Dr. David Lipscomb of the University of Tennessee Sound Laboratory reported back in 1982 that 60% of university applicants have significant high frequency hearing impairment. Their hearing could only be compared to that of an elderly person. “These young people start their working lives with the ears of old people,” Lipscomb said.

Can “aged” ears become young again? And again, Dr. Tomatis is the savior. He determined that you can renew your ears using sounds. It seems like a paradox to restore hearing with the help of hearing. But for Tomatis, the son of a famous opera singer, whose house was full of musicians all the time, it was perfectly natural to turn to the healing effects of music and sounds.

Do you remember how in high school biology lessons you memorized three memorable names for the organs located behind the eardrum - the hammer, the incus, and the stirrup?

Now imagine that you are surfing the sound wave in your middle ear. You can see the muscles tense and relax to position the eardrum correctly, similar to positioning a satellite dish to match the position of the eardrum to different input frequencies.

You see that your muscles are too flabby, and it seems to you that not all of them are doing their job. Suddenly there is a hissing sound. Your muscles flinch as if a stern instructor had yelled at them. Tighten, relax, tense up and relax again, and again, and again. And this training is to expose the muscles of the inner ear day after day until they recover enough to properly control the eardrum.

The role of the whistle instructor is played by the "electronic ear", a device developed and patented by Tomatis. It emits a burst of varying low and high frequency sounds that change from ear to ear that cause the muscles of the middle ear to work on themselves.

While this is happening, the inner ear "opens" and the ability to hear high frequencies is restored. It doesn't sound very impressive, but you can talk to Canadian novelist Patricia Joudry, who thought an electronic ear device would help solve her hearing problems. The device helped, but what impressed her the most was "an unimaginable influx of vitality and, even better, creative energy."

It turned out that this method was able to become not only something like a sesame for accelerated learning, but also the key to enable broad, ever-growing learning abilities.

“The ear is designed to serve the individual, both mentally and physically,” says Tomatis. You may have already heard about "free energy".

Tomatis gave this concept a material explanation. With the help of the ear, you can enter the flow of the natural nourishing cosmic energy. And the flow of cosmic energy never disappears.

What frequency should the sound be used to enlighten the mind? Sounds with a frequency of five to 8000 Hz recharge the "brain batteries" the fastest. The fastest recharge occurs when exposed to 8000 Hz sound.

After testing music written by various composers, Tomatis found that Mozart's music contains the most high-frequency sounds that recharge the brain.

At the same time, he found out which frequencies have a depressing effect on the brain and body. These are low-frequency sounds - for example, traffic, airports, factories. Some of the low-pitched, pounding sounds in rock music are also mind-sucking, says Tomatis.
