Dr. Cliff's Review of LACE AI Pro Auditory Training

Getting hearing aids is just the beginning of your hearing treatment journey. While these devices restore access to sounds you've been missing, your brain needs time and training to fully process and understand these newly available sounds. This is where auditory training becomes a game-changer, and LACE AI Pro stands out as one of the most effective tools available today.

What Is Auditory Training?

Think of auditory training as physical therapy for your ears and brain. Just as you would undergo physical therapy after knee replacement surgery to strengthen the surrounding muscles and ligaments, auditory training helps strengthen your brain's ability to process sound after years of hearing loss.

When you have hearing loss, your brain becomes "weak" from not receiving proper auditory stimulation over time. Even with well-fitted hearing aids providing access to sound, your brain needs specific training to regain its full processing capabilities. This training involves challenging your auditory system in controlled ways until it regains strength and efficiency.

The Science Behind LACE AI Pro

Research spanning over 20 years consistently demonstrates that auditory training using LACE technology can significantly improve hearing performance. The app focuses on three key areas that are fundamental to successful hearing treatment:

Speech-in-Noise Training helps you better understand conversations in challenging environments like restaurants, parties, or crowded spaces. This addresses the number one complaint among hearing aid users.

Working Memory Training improves your ability to recall and retain what you hear, which is crucial for following conversations and processing complex information.

Rapid Speech Training enhances your processing speed, making it easier to understand fast talkers and keep up with quick-paced conversations.

Real-World Results

The results we've seen with patients using LACE AI Pro have been remarkable. One patient experienced a 150% improvement in background noise performance, going from severe difficulty (scoring 19 out of 26 on speech-in-noise testing) to mild difficulty (scoring just 4). This dramatic improvement had nothing to do with changing hearing aids - it was purely the result of consistent auditory training.

This patient's success came from dedicating time daily to the training modules over several months. The commitment paid off with hearing performance that exceeded what hearing aids alone could provide.

How LACE AI Pro Works

The app uses artificial intelligence to create personalized training experiences that adapt to your performance level. As you improve, the exercises become more challenging. If you struggle, they become easier. This adaptive approach keeps you working at the optimal level for brain training - challenging enough to promote growth but not so difficult that you become frustrated.

The app includes several innovative features that set it apart:

Personalized Content: You select topics that interest you from categories like science, history, health, and entertainment. This keeps you engaged during training sessions.

Custom Voices: Perhaps the most impressive feature allows family members or friends to record their voices for use in your training. If you have particular difficulty understanding your spouse or grandchildren, you can train specifically with their voices.

Progress Tracking: The app monitors your improvement over time, showing both accuracy gains and faster response times. This gamification element helps maintain motivation.

Adaptive Difficulty: Each module automatically adjusts based on your performance, ensuring you're always working at the right challenge level.

Getting Started with LACE AI Pro

The best way to access LACE AI Pro is through a hearing care professional who has an account with Neurotone, the company that owns the app. Many HearingUp Network providers offer access to the app, often at a discount if you've purchased hearing aids from them.

The suggested retail price is around $499, but discount codes are available. When you purchase the app, you receive lifetime access, including all future updates and new training modules. Given that the price will likely increase over time, purchasing sooner rather than later locks in current pricing.

The app works on both iOS and Android devices and includes comprehensive progress tracking, leaderboards for motivation, and direct connection to your hearing care provider for monitoring your progress.

Investment in Your Hearing Health

While some people hesitate at the cost of LACE AI Pro, it represents exceptional value compared to other hearing improvement options. The amount you would need to spend on hearing aid upgrades to achieve similar benefits would cost thousands of dollars. The app provides a cost-effective way to maximize your hearing potential.

Success with auditory training requires commitment. The most dramatic improvements come from daily use over several months. The app's gamification features, including streak tracking and leaderboards, help maintain motivation throughout your training journey.

Taking the Next Step

LACE AI Pro represents a significant advancement in making auditory training accessible and effective. The combination of AI-driven adaptation, personalized content, and comprehensive progress tracking makes it easier than ever to achieve your full hearing potential.

If you're ready to take your hearing beyond what hearing aids alone can provide, LACE AI Pro offers a proven path to improved performance. The investment in time and money pays dividends in better communication, reduced listening fatigue, and increased confidence in challenging hearing situations.

I encourage you to find a HearingUp Network provider in your area who can help you access LACE AI Pro along with comprehensive best practice care. I have personally vetted these providers and they are committed to helping you achieve your maximum hearing potential through proper fitting techniques, ongoing support, and access to advanced training tools like LACE AI Pro.

Your hearing journey doesn't end when you get hearing aids - it's just the beginning. With the right training and professional support, you can achieve hearing performance that exceeds your expectations.
