It is a
take-home training software for adults aiming to
increase attention to and identification of targeted sounds in quiet and in noise.
Training includes directed listening of
voiceless consonant sounds and all vowels. The training is not targeted at specific auditory skills such as auditory closure, but hopefully heightens attention, discrimination and memory skills. The training program has an option to perform training in variable noise backgrounds. The program is appropriate for adults with a hearing loss, but especially ideal for those with a sloping high frequency loss.
