Samonas Auditory Intervention is a scientifically and artistically structured auditory intervention program that uses music, voice and nature sounds to re-map and restore the brain's ability to process sound. Ingo Steinbach, a German sound engineer with a broad background in music, physics, and electronics, developed this method through 20 years of research. Used by over 3,000 practitioners worldwide, Samonas Auditory Intervention has proven effective in children and adults of all ages. Because Samonas is a home-based therapy program, it can be done at any time of day, in the place where your child is most comfortable: your home.

Did You Know?   

The auditory system is more than just hearing!  Consider the following:

Leading the Sensory Team
The auditory system connects to most major organs. It is like the "captain" of the sensory team.  It is the first system to function in utero.  When the auditory system is weak, it can affect the integration of information being fed to the brain and the nervous system by the other senses. Auditory processing problems can lead to academic, social and emotional challenges.
Listening and Learning
Listening is active and conscious and has a significant impact on learning.  Inadequately developed listening skills can cause problems with attention, memory, information processing, concentration, and other skills necessary for effective learning.
Balance and Movement
The ear is tied in to the vestibular system - the system that regulates balance and movement.  So coordination, visual-motor skills, spatial awareness, and even handwriting can be affected by a poorly developed auditory system.
