Alfred A. Tomatis (1 January 1920 – 25 December 2001)[1] was a French otolaryngologist and inventor. He received his Doctorate in Medicine from the Paris School of Medicine.[2] His alternative medicine theories of hearing and listening are known as the Tomatis method or Audio-Psycho-Phonology (APP).

Tomatis' approach, a type of auditory integration training, is known as the Tomatis Method. It is promoted as being of benefit to people with autism, but there is no good evidence to support these claims and the Method has been classified as a pseudoscience.[3][4]
