Cover Story: The study tested the feasibility and efficacy of computer-based speech-in-noise training. Fifty-two older adults aged between 60 and 90 years with various degrees of hearing loss participated in five training sessions. The training was aimed at reducing the confusion of onset and coda consonants in consonant-vowel-consonant syllables. Participants matched syllables presented in noise with a closed set of written alternatives. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was adapted to the performance, allowing training at the individual edge of competence. Training benefits were measured as improvement in accuracy (d-prime) and reduction in the required SNR. Listeners with hearing loss improved accuracy, still requiring a high SNR, while listeners with a better hearing identified the syllables at a lower SNR after the training. View this paper
