“…If more training does not change the nature of learning, what does it do? One option is that multi-session training could provide further opportunities for learning to stabilize and consolidate without changing the overall nature of learning [38,59,60]. This is consistent with the outcomes of both labbased [37,61,62] and rehabilitation-oriented [22,60] studies.…”

This is consistent with the outcomes of both labbased [37,61,62] and rehabilitation-oriented [22,60] studies. For example, in speech category learning, listeners accumulate information about the acoustic characteristics of the talker over time [61,63], thus additional experience with a talker is likely to result in additional gains.…”

Perceptual learning, defined as long-lasting changes in the ability to extract information from the environment, occurs following either brief exposure or prolonged practice. Whether these two types of experience yield qualitatively distinct patterns of learning is not clear. We used a time-compressed speech task to assess perceptual learning following either rapid exposure or additional training. We report that both experiences yielded robust and long-lasting learning. Individual differences in rapid learning explained unique variance in performance in independent speech tasks (natural-fast speech and speech-in-noise) with no additional contribution for training-induced learning (Experiment 1). Finally, it seems that similar factors influence the specificity of the two types of learning (Experiment 1 and 2). We suggest that rapid learning is key for understanding the role of perceptual learning in speech recognition under adverse conditions while longer learning could serve to strengthen and stabilize learning.

Objectives - to analyse the complex solutions for rehabilitation of sensorineural hearing loss in adults and elderly people. Material and methods. We reviewed 27 articles on the problem, published in the recent 5 years, presented in the international databases PubMed, Scopus and E-library. Conclusion. The rehabilitation procedure for chronic SNHL is quite clearly regulated and defined at the state level only for the person with hearing disabilities. While determining the needs of the disabled person in rehabilitation, the recommended rehabilitation approaches are described. However, in the normative documents, there is no clearly defined rehabilitation algorithm, taking into account the patient's individual characteristics. A high index of multimorbidity in adults with SNHL, including anxiety-depressive disorders and cognitive deficit, determines the need for inclusion of the auditory training in the rehabilitation process. The use of various options for auditory training along with electro-acoustic correction of hearing or cochlear implantation is an essential component of an individual rehabilitation program.

“…In addition, improvements from training can be specific to trained stimuli, and may or may not depend on the length of the training course, and on other factors (see reviews by Lawrence et al, 2018 ; Bieber and Gordon-Salant, 2021 ). Tye-Murray et al (2017) examined the benefits of auditory training in 47 experienced HA users, who were divided into two training groups, that differed in the time course of training. One group received training in the lab twice a week for 10 weeks, and the other group received more intensive training where they had to train 5 days a week for 2 weeks in the lab.…”

“…As has been seen in previous studies, the period needed to observe improvements is unknown and because recent studies have shown that short exercises or short exposure to a listening task may show improvements similar to long-term training sessions (e.g., Tye-Murray et al, 2017 ), exercises in the current design were divided into blocks and sessions and were administered in a period of 3 weeks. The exercises included tasks in quiet and noisy listening conditions, and tasks of detection, discrimination, identification and comprehension, taking into consideration the model of Erber and Hirsh (1978) .…”

Auditory Perceptual Exercises in Adults Adapting to the Use of Hearing Aids

Older adults with age-related hearing loss often use hearing aids (HAs) to compensate. However, certain challenges in speech perception, especially in noise still exist, despite today’s HA technology. The current study presents an evaluation of a home-based auditory exercises program that can be used during the adaptation process for HA use. The home-based program was developed at a time when telemedicine became prominent in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 53 older adults with age-related symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss. They were divided into three groups depending on their experience using HAs. Group 1: Experienced users (participants who used bilateral HAs for at least 2 years). Group 2: New users (participants who were fitted with bilateral HAs for the first time). Group 3: Non-users. These three groups underwent auditory exercises for 3 weeks. The auditory tasks included auditory detection, auditory discrimination, and auditory identification, as well as comprehension with basic (syllables) and more complex (sentences) stimuli, presented in quiet and in noisy listening conditions. All participants completed self-assessment questionnaires before and after the auditory exercises program and underwent a cognitive test at the end. Self-assessed improvements in hearing ability were observed across the HA users groups, with significant changes described by new users. Overall, speech perception in noise was poorer than in quiet. Speech perception accuracy was poorer in the non-users group compared to the users in all tasks. In sessions where stimuli were presented in quiet, similar performance was observed among new and experienced uses. New users performed significantly better than non-users in all speech in noise tasks; however, compared to the experienced users, performance differences depended on task difficulty. The findings indicate that HA users, even new users, had better perceptual performance than their peers who did not receive hearing aids.
