New! 'A Listening Method'

Everyone processes and learns new information in different ways. There are three main cognitive learning styles; visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Today we decided to share on how and why listening, visualizing, and sensing play a huge role.

The ability of listening is closely related to the capacity for learning and communicating. Listening, which serves auditory comprehension, is defined as using the ear consciously to process information for the purpose of learning and communicating. The ability to learn through visualizing is an easier way to learn for many individuals who are naturally more visual, but is not as helpful when it comes to learning languages. However, the importance of listening is the “royal road” for language development and communication and provides the basis for human growth.

Hearing disruptions can cause problems with discrimination, auditory lateralization, spatial, and the ability to isolate an auditory message from the surrounding noise. Brain confusions or disruptions often require greater effort to understand a message. This can result in message errors and false interpretation, which increases levels of tiredness, irritability, and withdrawal. As a result, attention, memory, communication, and social skill can suffer.

Emotional blockages may also develop in people who face a reorganization of their routines, increased responsibilities, loss of familiar references, or increased pressure that can prevent people from listening. One can become stuck emotionally at a young age, namely the age at which they suffered the original trauma, preventing normal emotional growth and good listening. In cases involving stress-related disorders and depression, the muscles in the middle ear are worked out and strengthened under the Tomatis Method® to remove inhibition mechanisms of listening and enable the precise and harmonious integration of acoustic information to the inner ear and then to the brain.
