When’s the right moment to start stimulating your baby’s hearing? The answer surprises many parents: much earlier than you’d think.
Earlier than you imagine
Hearing is active even before birth. There’s no “too early”: from pregnancy and the first days, the parents’ voice and familiar sounds are already a valuable stimulus —always at a gentle volume and with intention.
Why start early
The first years are the period of greatest brain plasticity, and the ear is the first channel of learning and a base for language. The earlier you offer rich, regular listening, the more solid the foundations.
Adapting to each age
With different listening by age band: soft sounds in the first months, singing and rhythm later on. Memima’s ETFES© method organizes it from 0 to 6, screen-free, in about 10 minutes a day.
