Auditory training program
Previous experiments performed under laboratory settings using a novel word-based auditory-training regimen have demonstrated substantial improvements in open-set recognition of words and sentences in noise. The current proposed study will investigate the effectiveness of the training regimen when used in a patient's home setting with their own hearing aids.
Sham Comparator: Active Control
This is a sham intervention in which the patient listens to audio books following the same regimen as the patients receiving the auditory training.
