Findings released in a new book are music to the ears of doctors.
An expert says listening to music can be good for your health and even make you smarter, reported CBS 2 News. According to Gaynor, a recent study found that kids who listened to music right before an exam scored up to 20 percent higher than those who didn't. Now, more and more hospitals are using music in the recovery room. That's because music has been proven to provide a soothing atmosphere that actually enhances the healing process. Listening to music can apparently also reduce stress, prevent illness and boost your immune system, said the television station.
