Hear Your World Better
TRAINING YOUR Listening skills
Train your brain:
We know that we hear with our ears but what most people don’t know is that we understand what we hear with our brain. Our ear is our sensory organ that detects and transmits sounds to the auditory part of our brain, the area called the auditory cortex. After age 30 our auditory cortex has more difficulty filtering sound when in background noise, following rapid speech and remembering what we hear. This is due to natural age related changes in our brains. When we have hearing loss on top of this, it is even more difficult to successfully do all of these important listening tasks.
Researchers have therefore developed listening discrimination training programs to improve our listening skills.
We recommend that our patients with hearing loss, OR those who simply have difficulty listening in background noise, consider completing listening training homework that can be detailed by our clinicians or completed with an online programs. Contact us for more information about what is currently offered in this area and what we recommend as auditory training is a growing area of research in Auditory Science.
