Audio-psychological assessment

The audio-psychological assessment provides clues about your particular way of listening to the world and listening to yourself. It allows you to understand whether your personal difficulties are linked to your way and speed of processing sensory information, in particular that collected and transmitted by your inner ear, on the one hand coming from within yourself and on the other hand coming from others/from outside. During a conversation, are you able to effectively negotiate solutions that suit you as much as the person whose voice carries the most? Do you tend to slip into obedience, to refrain from speaking and asserting your rights when faced with a dominant and invasive person whose presence and charisma subjugate you? Can you work in a somewhat negative environment while remaining internally connected to a feeling of enthusiasm and motivation? Do you manage to withdraw into yourself in the midst of the din? Are you able to verbalize your deepest emotions and feelings without stammering when you are pressured to do so quickly? Do you feel that you can express yourself clearly when you are trying to explain something very complex? In this sense, this assessment can be useful to you, if only as a starting point for psychotherapy.

It is based on an audimetric test comparing your hearing thresholds when sounds between 125Hz and 8000Hz are transmitted first through your eardrums (air conduction) and second from behing your ears (bone conduction). The results allow the specialist to make hypotheses about your particular way of processing sensory information.  The core caracteristics of it are mainly established in childhood but can evolve positively or negatively as a result of life events. The analysis of your four listening curves (air, bone, right, left) gives information on possible causes of personal and interpersonal difficulties.  It also allows to design an individualized neurosensory training treatment plan.  Last but not least,the listening test can be a good starting point for psychotherapy as it reveals difficulties which are beyond our conscious grasp and potentally interfere our daily life in unsuspected ways.
