How does Sound Therapy help conductive hearing loss?
By exercising and strengthening the middle ear muscles. The hammer and stirrup muscles play an important role, according to Dr Tomatis, in controlling the type of sounds that reach the inner ear^. It has also been noted that those with difficulty equalising their ear pressure or a persistent sense of blockage and fullness in the head achieve relief through Sound Therapy, once the middle ear muscles have regained their proper tone. This verifies Tomatis’s claim that Sound Therapy has a direct impact on middle ear function.
