Who can benefit
Anyone who has difficulty with hearing, listening, or communicating can benefit from LACE Training. Hearing aids are not required, but if you have hearing aids, you should wear them during your training. If you are concerned that your difficulties in communication are so severe that you can’t improve, don’t worry. People who have the most difficulty with their hearing loss will benefit the most from auditory training.
When to Start
Now! Start now. Whether you’ve just received your hearing aids, or worn hearing aids for decades, you can benefit from auditory training. If you don’t have hearing aids, but notice difficulty hearing, listening, or communicating, you can also benefit from LACE AI Pro.
What Does LACE Training Involve?
Sessions take 15-20 minutes to complete. For best results, train when you feel fresh and alert.
You’ll work on three different skills:
- Speech in Noise: You will hear a person talking with “cocktail party” noise in the background. The amount of noise will progressively increase as you progress (and you will improve).
- Working Memory: The auditory memory task is a challenging way to improve your ability to “hold on” to what you’ve heard and answer questions about it.
- Rapid Speech: The pace of the speaker’s voice gets faster, and information is removed as well. You’ll find that you can understand at a pace that you previously found too fast. It takes practice—and the training pays off.
Equipment Needed
You can use any device that allows you to access a web browser (computer, tablet, mobile phone).
Expensive computer speakers are not required for LACE training. If you can hear speech clearly through your device’s speakers, your speakers are sufficient.
Even better, listen through headphones or directly connect to your device via Bluetooth or direct audio input with your hearing aids.
When you are ready, the next step is to purchase a registration code. Then you can get started on your training!
