In this episode of the Brain Development Podcast, Lara welcomes Olivier de Wulf, President and CEO of Neurasonic, to discuss innovative approaches to healing behavioural and learning challenges in neurodiverse children. Olivier, an expert in engineering, neuroscience, and acoustic health, shares insights into how auditory and sensory inputs can influence the nervous system. He explains the dual components of the ear, the vestibular and cochlear systems, and how they relate to communication and emotional regulation. The conversation delves into the impact of trauma on children's development and how Neurasonic's programs, which utilise specially filtered music, can retrain the ears and vagus nerve to restore balance and optimise neurological function. Listeners will learn about the transformative effects of sound therapy on children with learning disabilities, anxiety, and sound sensitivities, as well as Olivier's personal journey with his adopted sons.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Neurosonic's Approach: Neurosonic focuses on retraining the ears to improve communication with the world, addressing issues related to the vestibular and cochlear systems of the ear, which are crucial for body awareness and auditory processing.

Targeting the Vagus Nerve: The programs developed at Neurosonic aim to optimise the function of the vagus nerve, which regulates many unconscious bodily functions. Proper functioning of this nerve can alleviate issues related to digestion, anxiety, and sound sensitivities.

Music as Therapy: The therapy involves using filtered Mozart music to create a calming environment that helps retrain the ear muscles and improve auditory processing. This approach has shown significant results in enhancing communication and reducing sound sensitivities.

BEST MOMENTS

"We have developed a way to retrain the ears so that the communication with the world is actually improving." - Olivier

"The very high frequencies... is what the fetus or the baby in the womb is hearing mostly." - Olivier

"I think I should be putting myself on this program because I think I need it, to be honest with you." - Lara
