LACE AI (Listening And Communication Enhancement with Artificial Intelligence) is an auditory rehabilitation program designed to help people maximize their hearing abilities and communication skills. It creates customized training exercises that target specific listening challenges, particularly in difficult environments like noisy restaurants or group conversations. Regular practice with these exercises strengthens the neural pathways involved in sound processing, allowing the brain to more effectively interpret sounds delivered by hearing aids. LACE AI can lead to improved speech understanding, enhanced listening stamina with reduced mental fatigue, better use of contextual cues, and increased confidence in social situations.
