Samonas Therapy at The Davis Center

Samonas™

What is Samonas™?

Samonas™ stands for Spectrally Activated Music of Optimal Natural Structure and is a CD listening program that enhances listening and learning. Samonas™ is used to monitor, encourage and maintain appropriate listening after Berard Auditory Integration Training (AIT) or The Tomatis Method (Tomatis®).

Samonas™ is also used as a separate therapeutic intervention to enhance oral motor skills, speech/language skills, and/or reading skills.

Who can benefit from Samonas™ ?

People of all ages can benefit from Samonas™, particularly those struggling with speech and voice problems, perceptual disturbances, problems with lateral organization, learning difficulties, anxiety problems, problems with autonomic nervous system, impaired hearing and deafness, concentration, and memory.

Why does Samonas™ work?

Through superb spatial reproduction of natural sounds and spectral activation of music, a micro-massage of the tiny muscles in the middle ear takes place. Due to the fact that the ear is not only the organ of hearing, but also of balance, it is linked by major nerve pathways to the rest of the body. Thus, the micro-message has healing effects over the entire human organism and the ability to act as a strong counter-stimulant to negative conditioning.

What does Samonas™ involve?

The program involves daily listening of CDs, including weekends. Session length, frequency and intensity vary since the program is tailored to the participant's needs.

Why use The Davis Center?

Many listening therapies are made available at The Davis Center. When Samonas™ is used in conjunction with other listening therapies, it exposes the participant to the maximum benefits for hearing and listening improvement. As the brain is activated, and receptive to sound, the Samonas™ method can create a carryover effect that maintains positive listening skills. This method can also be combined with speech pathology, occupational therapy and tutoring to maximize the learning potential.

The Samonas™ method, although beneficial, is typically not the client's first therapy. Trained practitioners at The Davis Center are available to distinguish the appropriate combination of therapies needed for the individual.
