5 easy-to-learn hearing training methods

Hearing is one of the important ways for humans to perceive the world. For people with hearing loss, they often face the situation of not being able to understand other people's words and social communication difficulties. This is because our hearing and verbal communication abilities are closely related, and good hearing ability is essential for receiving and communicating information. For patients with hearing loss, systematic hearing training can effectively improve hearing level, improve language communication ability, and enhance the quality of life. This process requires not only the active participation of patients, but also the patient cooperation and support of their families. AUSTAR Hearing introduces several easy-to-learn hearing training methods to you, hoping to help hearing-impaired patients practice effectively at home.

Easy-to-learn auditory training method: cooperation between hearing-impaired patients and their families

1. Environmental adaptation training

Family members gradually adjust the noise level of the home environment, starting from a relatively quiet environment, adjusting the noise intensity in a timely manner, and gradually increasing the background sound (such as soft music, TV sound, etc.), so that patients can try to identify specific sounds or understand conversations, and help patients gradually exercise their auditory recognition ability under different noise conditions.

2. Speech clarity training

Family members talk to patients face to face, slow down their speech speed at the beginning, pronounce words clearly, and repeat or simplify sentences when necessary, encourage hearing-impaired patients to communicate, and then gradually increase their speech speed to normal. Let the hearing-impaired patients try to identify and repeat what they hear. Simple daily conversations or short news can be used as practice materials. If appropriate, family members can cover their lips when speaking to increase the difficulty of retelling, so as to enhance the patient's speech discrimination ability.

3. Sound localization training

Family members make sounds at different locations in the home (such as knocking objects, clapping, etc.), and ask hearing-impaired patients to close their eyes and point out the direction of the sound source. As the training deepens, the types and complexity of sounds can be increased. During the activity, the sound should be clear and distinguishable, and avoid confusion caused by using too similar sounds. At the same time, family members should give correct feedback in time to help patients establish correct sound positioning perception.

4. Voice imitation training

Family members provide hearing-impaired patients with some voice imitation samples, such as movie dialogues, slow-paced songs, etc., so that hearing-impaired patients can improve their voice recognition and pronunciation abilities by imitating the pronunciation of different people. In addition, patients can also enhance the clarity and fluency of their voices by reading articles or books aloud. When patients read aloud, family members need to help correct incorrect pronunciations and improve the accuracy of their voices.

5. Regular hearing assessment

Family members should encourage and support hearing-impaired patients to participate in hearing assessment activities, and closely monitor whether the patient's hearing has changed through regular hearing tests. For hearing-impaired patients who already wear hearing aids or cochlear implants, regular assessments can timely adjust the hearing aid or cochlear implant data to ensure the maximum performance of the hearing aid device, and can flexibly adjust the auditory training plan to better meet the actual needs of patients.

In short, auditory training is a process that requires time and patience, and the active participation of hearing-impaired patients and the active cooperation of their families are the key to successful training. Through persistent auditory training, not only can the hearing ability of hearing-impaired patients be improved, but also their willingness to enhance verbal communication can be encouraged, thus improving the quality of life of patients and their families.
