Cochlear implant users often find a discrepancy between understanding speech in auditory training versus real-life situations, because training occurs in ideal conditions, unlike unpredictable daily environments. Auribus helps bridge this gap by providing comprehensive and realistic practice covering skills from basic word recognition to navigating complex real-world conversations.
Many cochlear implant users observe a disparity between their comprehension capabilities during auditory training at home and in real-world situations. This difference stems from the controlled and predictable conditions of auditory training, which contrast sharply with the unpredictable and often noisy environments encountered in daily life. During training, individuals usually listen to one speaker at a time who enunciates clearly and uses predictable, familiar content. However, in real life, conversations often involve multiple talkers, varying levels of speaker intelligibility, unexpected topics, and the necessity to divide attention amidst distractions.
As a consequence, the auditory skills developed through training do not seamlessly transition to real-world scenarios. Therefore, achieving successful communication in daily life demands practice in more challenging, realistic settings.
Auribus offers a comprehensive training program designed to bridge this gap, encompassing skills such as recognizing ambient sounds, understanding basic words, sequencing words, interpreting complex sentences, and navigating real-world situations. Here is how Auribus facilitates the enhancement of real-world speech comprehension:
Auribus introduces features like optional background noise in lessons to mimic real environments. For instance, incorporating airport noise in lessons can pose a substantial challenge. Moreover, it offers advanced lessons that train individuals to maintain divided attention by completing tasks while listening. Users can also acclimatize to different English accents by opting to listen to Australian or British English speakers, a feature easily accessible in the settings. Additionally, the program introduces challenges by randomizing speakers and encourages practice with narratives to expose users to natural speech patterns from various speakers.
Through the utilization of Auribus, individuals can work towards automating their speech comprehension in daily situations by adopting high aspirations and embracing challenges, fostering a smoother transition from training to real-life communication.
