Samonas Sound Therapy 
is a processing of therapeutic music which provides direct stimulation to the middle ear, cochlea, auditory nerve, cerebral cortex and indirect stimulation to the entire Central Nervous System. Samonas Sound Therapy teaches you to listen and trains your auditory system so that you can process the full range of sound without distortion,  hypersensitivity or frequency loss. This auditory training aides in the processing of language while eliminating the distractions of ambient sound. The data strongly suggests that this auditory input improves overall neurological function and hemispheric communication.
