TOMATIS Colombia
Technical Services
(2002–2005)

The TOMATIS method deals with the relationship that exists between the ear and the voice and, by extension, between listening and communication. The application of this Method is made possible by a sophisticated piece of equipment known as the Electronic Ear. However, there is no technical support for these instruments in Colombia. Each failure representing important money and time lost since the equipment must be sent to Europe. I am responsible for the preventive and corrective maintenance for the Electronic Ears and the aim is to adapt them to the local technology.
