I love music .. and even though the eardrums aren't as good as they once were it still means a lot to me. But, I don't listen as much as I should .. infact very rarely. It is good for you and it's been found that listening to music after you've had a stroke can minimise the damage.
I will potter off to try and find the linkje.
I have found and brought back these:

We have had the other music that you could listen to through the headphones for the relaxing meditation and now we have this where you can choose your own music which with other therapies could help you heal.
