Music is omnipresent and it’s almost impossible to find someone who doesn’t like it. People’s tastes in music may vary, but there’s no denying that we are all connected to it. It’s no wonder that musical therapy has been gaining in importance these days. Music therapists are usually musicians who know and understand music and how it affects our moods and organisms. They can help you get through physical rehab, therapeutic meditation, depression, and many other situations that may seem hopeless and miserable.
But have you ever thought about how music really helps you? Or that it can actually help you heal?
- There’s more and more research that shows how music eases anxiety and discomfort during different medical procedures, hence the smaller need for sedatives. Music also helps surgeons to relieve stress in the operating room which is beneficial for you, too.
- It’s been proven that music helps patients who suffered from a stroke or other brain injury to restore their lost speech. That’s because singing and talking are connected to two different sides of the brain.
- Music is also used by people with cancer. It helps them ease anxiety related to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and get rid of nausea and vomiting problem.
- Music can decrease pain perception among patients suffering from short-term pain, as well as those with chronic pain (e.g. caused by arthritis). Therefore they don’t need as many medications so they can feel like they’re not controlled by pain.
- Listening, singing and playing is also helpful to people with dementia. The disease doesn’t influence the ability to engage with music so it can be beneficial when it comes to remembering or reducing agitation. It may also help to communicate and improve a person’s overall well-being (as they don’t think that the disease has deprived them of absolutely everything).

Beautiful music is really very soothing, my grandmother uses TV Ears like this to listen to music and relax. Headphones like these-isolate any background noise and provide clear sound, and this is something that is very important to her.
Speech is not for nothing considered one of the main differences between humans and animals. This is an extremely complex mechanism of higher nervous activity, which is inextricably linked with the psyche and thinking. That’s why pediatricians pay so much attention to speech therapist in children. After all, they show that the development of the child requires correction and intervention. At the same time, the possible problems that cause difficulties with speech in the baby are extensive: from the incorrect formation of the speech apparatus to autism.
It may sound corny, but my “soul” wounds, after breaking up with guys, are perfectly healed by music. You’re absolutely right. I love music, its sound, the way it lifts my mood, but of course it is also possible to grieve, but not often 🙂 I bought the floor-standing speakers in Tower, the sound struck me from the first second. It’s a great accessory for the house!
Each person has experienced the emotional power of music, which sometimes literally takes us by the soul. It is even better to listen to it with music speakers. Thanks, great article!
Interesting study, it really is! I started collecting records and now they always lift my spirits!
