  7. Air-boneheadphones In thisintegratedheadset air conduction is delivered to the right and left ear through standardheadphones. Bone conduction is delivered through a vibrator that is placed on the top of the patient’shead. In this way the sound travelsbothways:external(air) and internal (bone).Theboneconductoris mobile and can be attachedwith a special band in order to test theinternalauditoryattention.

  8. Electronic ear AfredTomatisdiscoveredthatthemissingfrequenciescould be restored to theearthrough a devicecalledtheElectronic ear. TheElectronic ear is synchronized with a computer. A computer program allows thetherapistto set the parameters according to diagnosticrequirements. You can manipulate functions such as: gating, precedence, delay, balance and highpass filtering. All these features work together to generate the Tomatis Effect.TheElectronic ear allows you to train accommodative mechanisms inthemiddleear, allowing theorgan of hearing to "open up" to certain, previously unavailablefrequency ranges.
