I don't think Dr Tomatis would endorse it and I'll bet he doesn't get any
money from this.
Looks like a complete overpriced rip-off.
I did once a Tomatis "electronic ear" cure and one thing is clear : a very
precise audiogram (measure of your hearing and determination of the weak or
lost frequencies) is made before the cure, and the settings are special for
each person.

Now the ready-made so-called Tomatis tapes, while not really reeducating
your whole hearing, might have an effect by "opening" the ear to very high
frequencies, which is definitely a good thing, as Tomatis showed.

Bur once again, 345 $ for 6 cassette tapes, or 800 $ for a sound
converter... Ridiculous !
