The last time I visited my “doctor / Certified Tomatis Consultant,” he said that Tomatis once said “Growing up is growing deaf”.
Tears came to my eyes.
As stated earlier, my eyes are better since I started Tomatis listening training***.
An example of what the Tomatis listening training can do for someone, in this case for the actor Gerard Depardieu, is in this article: Doctor Mozart and Gregorian Chant.

Tomatis listening training
Prof. Alfred Tomatis studied more than 40 years, the relationship between hearing, listening and speaking, and their effect on body and mind.
In 1957, the discovery of the relationship between the ear and the voice, was officially
established by the Academy of Science and Medicine in Paris under the name
“Tomatis Effect”. This is the basis for his later developed listening method.
