Alfred TOMATIS

The Tomatis® Method was created and perfected by Alfred TOMATIS (born January 1, 1920, died December 25, 2001), a French doctor who specialized in oto-rhino-laryngology. He devoted a significant part of his professional life to studying the relation between the ear and the voice, and by extension, between listing and communication.

His discoveries were made in the Sorbonne’s physiology laboratory and were then presented to the Academy of the Sciences and the Academy of Medicine in Paris in 1957 and 1960.

These discoveries were named the « Tomatis® Laws » :
  1. • The voice only contains what the ear can hear ; “The voice produces what the ear hears (Dr. Tomatis) and the ear emits the same stressed frequencies that are emitted by the voice. (Davis, 2002)”
  2. • if hearing is modified, the voice is immediately and unconsciously modified ;
  3. • it is possible to transform phonation permanently by means of auditory stimulation undertaken over a certain time (the law of remanence).​
  4. Davis Addendum to the Tomatis Effect With one hundred percent (100%) correlation, two new laws are suggested as an addition to Dr. Tomatis' laws.
    1. New Law 1: The ear emits the same stressed frequencies that are emitted by the voice.
    2. New Law 2: When complementary or supplementary frequencies of stressed frequencies are introduced
