What is auditory training?

Auditory training is a therapeutic approach designed to improve the brain's ability to process and interpret sounds more effectively, particularly for individuals with hearing loss, auditory processing disorders, or those adjusting to new hearing aids. Through structured listening exercises and activities, patients work on skills such as sound discrimination, speech recognition in noise, and auditory memory, essentially retraining the auditory system to better understand and make sense of the sounds they hear. This type of training can be conducted with an audiologist using specialized programs and exercises, helping patients maximize their hearing potential and improve communication in everyday situations.
