Abstract

Background: Murottal therapy is a type of music therapy that has a positive influence on the listener, when someone listens to murottal therapy it will give stimulation to the eardrum then it will begin the listening process where every sound produced by the sound source will be passed through the auditory nerve to the auditory cortex in the brain. Then murottal therapy will work on the brain where when given a stimulus the brain will produce a decrease in cortisol so that it can provide feedback in the form of relaxed feeling and comfort.
