When it comes to processing speed, you are not stuck with the factory settings. With normal, healthy aging, auditory processing speed slows down. This affects how well you can “keep up” with conversations in noisy listening environments. But you can improve processing speed with auditory training! If you can keep up with the conversation more easily, your listening effort goes down. When listening effort goes down, you are less likely to give up in social situations.
