Chronicle of a deaf audiologist

Even people with normal hearing benefit from auditory training

Processing speed affects our ability to hear in noisy listening environments, even for people with normal hearing.

I emphasize this even for people with normal hearing, because some people with hearing loss believe that hearing aids alone should provide the benefits they are looking for. But even older adults with normal hearing have difficulty in noisy listening environments, so hearing aids are not the whole solution.

The good news is that processing speed (and the ability to hear in noise) are not fixed! Auditory training can help. Lace AI is the most clinically validated and peer-reviewed auditory training program on the planet!
