Try covering your ears with your fingers and say something. Do you notice that your voice sounds different? This is an example of how we perceive sound information through vibrations passing through the bones of the auditory canal. This is what bone conduction is.

With bone conduction, sound information reaches the inner ear directly through vibrations transmitted via the temporal bones. This process is approximately 10 times faster than air conduction. The dynamic filter in the Forbrain headphones allows sound signals to be adapted based on frequency, volume, intonation, and intensity. This means that the headphones enable a child or an adult to train their auditory-vocal loop—the process of receiving, analyzing, perceiving, and adapting auditory information—by using their own voice.

How does a session work?

With Forbrain, all you need to do is speak into a microphone. This can include reading aloud, engaging in live conversations, singing, reciting poems, and more. The duration of each session and the overall course is individualized for the child, depending on their age and specific needs. The headphones are suitable for people of all ages and speech development levels, even those producing only isolated, unstructured sounds.

Forbrain is an ideal tool for working with a speech therapist or psychologist. The Forbrain headphones can be used after completing a Tomatis course or as an independent correctional tool. The device enhances auditory perception, diction, attention, working memory, and as a result, helps children feel more confident and better manage their homework, reading, spelling, and other tasks that require auditory information processing.
