Speech-in-Noise Training

Train your brain to better understand speech in noisy environments.

Protocol Steps:

1. Use specialized speech-in-noise training software or apps (e.g., LACE - Listening and Communication Enhancement, Amptify, Angel Sound). Some may require a subscription or purchase.
2. These programs typically present speech (words or sentences) embedded in background noise. Your task is to identify the speech correctly.
3. The difficulty is usually adaptive, meaning the noise level increases as you succeed and decreases if you struggle.
4. Practice in a quiet room using good quality headphones.
5. Follow the program's recommended schedule, often 15-30 minutes per day for several weeks.
6. Focus on listening for key words and using context to understand the message.

Why It Works:

Understanding speech in noise is a complex cognitive skill that involves not just hearing the sounds, but also auditory attention, working memory, and using linguistic context. This training enhances the brain's ability to filter out noise and focus on the target speech signal, improving communication in real-world noisy situations.
