The Power of Sound (Book and CD)

The Power of Sound.

In The Power of Sound, iCalmPet co-founder Joshua Leeds explores music and sound as nutrients for the nervous system, and the importance of healthy auditory function. He investigates how noise- or stress-induced auditory dysfunction may result in difficulties in learning, communication, and social interactions, and explains new techniques designed to invigorate auditory skills.

The accompanying CD of psychoacoustically refined classical music provides immediate examples of the benefits of music explained in the book. Readers can experience the effects of a variety of sounds and begin the life-enhancing design of their own soundscapes.

The Power of Sound includes detailed guides for musicians and healthcare professionals.

— Randall McClellan, Ph.D., author of The Healing Forces of Music
