Hearing isn’t just about sound—it’s about processing, remembering, and responding in real time. Working memory plays a crucial role in speech comprehension, and for those with hearing loss, it becomes increasingly strained.
Studies show that 45% of dementia cases could be prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors like hearing loss (Livingston et al., 2020). While hearing aids improve sound, cognitive training helps patients retain and process what they hear—leading to better outcomes.
What’s New
Lace’s Working Memory feature introduces 100 exercises designed to strengthen cognitive skills in real-world listening scenarios.
Realistic Training
Patients practice in simulated settings like healthcare visits, noisy restaurants, and travel situations.
Objective Progress Tracking
Scoring system monitors accuracy, recall speed, and retention.
Seamless Integration
Works alongside hearing aids and standard care protocols:
- Initial assessment and hearing aid adaptation
- Ongoing cognitive wellness monitoring
- APD management programs
- New hearing aid user orientation
Proven Benefits for Patients
1. Faster Hearing Aid Adaptation: Shortens the adjustment period, reducing frustration.2. Improved Conversation Recall: Helps patients retain and process spoken information.
3. Reduced Listening Fatigue: Lowers cognitive effort during daily conversations.
