I believe that, though, that music also enters the whole\u00a0body, as well as the brain through every pore of the body. Dr. Alfred Tomatis, with whom I studied in 1991, stated that rather than the ear being differentiated skin, actually the skin of the entire body is also like an ear, receiving sonic vibrations and relaying them to the brain. Makes sense to me. Therefore when I started hearing and reading about the value of music during surgery I thought &#8220;it would be so beneficial if the ideal music for surgery could come directly into the brain through headphones&#8230;through the 8th cranial nerve.&#8221; Different people have promoted ambient music in the operating room, but the fact is, the patient needs the opposite music from the surgeon! The surgeon needs upbeat, active music to focus his energy. The patient needs slow, steady, soothing music.<\/p>\n<div>For that reason, I now have patented and begun to sell my wireless, pre-programmed headphones for surgery. You can also simply buy the music in download format and put it on your own iPod! For the headphones, go <a href=\"www.surgicalheadphones.com\" class=\"broken_link\">HERE<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div>For the download go <a href=\"www.surgicalserenitysolutions.com\" class=\"broken_link\">HERE<\/a>.
