LACE AI Pro is a missing piece in hearing loss rehabilitation

There is a missing piece in hearing loss rehabilitation.

Researchers at the University of Louvain found that three factors impact comprehension as we age: processing speed, working memory, and distractibility (the ability to resist interference).

They found that working memory in particular plays a crucial role in explaining age-related differences in language comprehension. The contribution of processing speed and distractibility was indirect and mediated by working memory.

Did you know that working memory takes a hit when you’re listening in noisy situations? Hearing loss also makes it difficult to hear when you’re in background noise.

So, there’s a missing piece in hearing loss rehabilitation. Hearing aids address the hearing loss, but the other factors, such as working memory and processing speed, also need to be addressed.

Auditory training is the missing piece. LACE AI Pro trains the brain to improve working memory, processing speed, and directly targets the ability to hear in noisy situations.  This is another example of how LACE AI Pro is backed by science.
