Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an auditory training program used at home with the subject's own hearing aids.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

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.

BEHAVIORAL

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.
