Recently, there has been a growing interest in the implementation of auditory-cognitive training to improve speech-in-noise recognition performance, particularly for older adults. In this study, we implemented two levels of cognitive demand in an adaptive auditory-cognitive training program that used a competing-speaker paradigm. Older adults with normal to near-normal hearing thresholds were assessed on training performance (at the individual and group level), self-reported training strategies, and far-transfer learning in a speech-perception-in-noise task. Training performance analysis revealed that some older adults, particularly those in the more demanding training, performed poorly during the auditory-cognitive training itself. Some participants in this group reported disengagement, potentially due to the low level of those individuals' self-reported satisfaction with engaging in challenging tasks in daily life. Despite these challenges, however, both groups generally improved in the far-transfer learning assessment, though there was variation among participants. Our results suggest that too-high levels of cognitive demand within the auditory-cognitive training may limit some aspects of training outcomes for speech perception in noise; however, higher cognitive demand may be beneficial for those who enjoy challenging tasks.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"141-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483581/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In new adult CI users, CBAT was associated with greater improvement in CNC words, AzBio sentences, and Cochlear Implant Quality of Life-35 (CIQOL-35) Profile scores at 3 months post-activation compared to CI recipients who did not train or used other resources. By 12 months, patients showed similar improvement in speech recognition scores, regardless of training modality; however, patients who used CBAT continued to show significantly greater improvement in CIQOL global and all domain scores compared to CBAT nonusers. This benefit was noted regardless of whether CBAT was started before or after 3 months post-activation. No demographic/lifestyle factors, audiological measures, or pre-CI CIQOL/CIQOL-Expectations scores were associated with CBAT use.Conclusion: CBAT during the first-year post-activation may contribute to early gains in CI speech recognition and to persistent improvements in functional abilities, as measured via the CIQOL-35 profile, in new implant recipients. Consideration of specific recommendations for the use of CBAT resources may be valuable, given the minimal risk, ease of access, and affordability of these programs.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"107-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background on the interplay between sensory, motor, and cognitive systems establishes the rationale for considering complex listening behaviors as primary outcomes, and for focusing training on domain-free executive function (EF) processes such as selection, inhibition, and working memory updating. Approaches to cognitive training in later life are discussed to provide a foundation for a deeper examination of targeted EF training and complex listening outcomes that reflect performance in everyday activities. Where available, studies involving older adults with hearing loss are included, although many studies include a mixture of older adults with good audiograms, sub-clinical audiometric loss, or clinically significant but untreated audiometric loss. Overall, the reviewed literature suggests that older adults, with or without audiometric hearing loss, can benefit from EF training that improves complex listening performance. Future clinical considerations are discussed, including rehabilitation that extends from communication training to realistic multitasking training.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"161-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483582/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One linguistic task that is particularly difficult for children who are D/HH is the acquisition of word-final bound morphemes. In this study, we adopted a training approach from second language (L2) acquisition, referred to as structured input , that has been successful in training a number of grammatical forms in L2 learners. Seventy-seven children who were D/HH and between the ages of 5 and 12 years took part in a 16-session training program designed to improve both perception and comprehension of four bound morphemes: contractions, plurals, past tense, and possessives. In addition, we used a recently developed assessment procedure to obtain independent measures of perception and comprehension. Perception scores at baseline (prior to training) all exceeded 80% and there were small, but nonsignificant, gains in perception following training. In contrast, baseline comprehension measures for three of the four bound morphemes (all except contractions) were below ceiling, and training produced significant gains in all three of these bound morphemes. Implications for training acquisition of morphosyntactic structures and developing personalized audiological rehabilitation protocols are discussed.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483578/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, although CIs restore sound access, they do not guarantee real-world speech communication abilities. To optimize communication outcomes, CI users have access to numerous auditory training (AT) approaches, including patient-directed and clinician-guided interventions. Despite the widespread use of AT, research on its benefits in adult CI users remains limited, resulting in a critical gap in understanding the individual factors that drive variability in training outcomes among adult CI users. This review paper synthesizes evidence on demographic, auditory, cognitive-linguistic, and psychosocial factors that influence responsiveness to AT. Given the well-documented influence of these factors on speech perception outcomes in adult CI users, we propose that a set of shared or unique factors likely predict CI users' responses to AT interventions. By understanding individual differences, future AT interventions can be better tailored to the needs of each CI user, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all model. In addition, we discuss the need to broaden our outcome assessments of AT beyond traditional speech recognition measures to real-world speech communicative and social functioning, which are likely to impact hearing-related and overall quality of life in this patient population. These insights provide a foundation for more effective, personalized AT strategies that address the diverse needs of adult CI users.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"87-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Musical training has been proposed as a potential intervention to enhance speech-in-noise (SIN) perception through auditory neuroplasticity. This randomized controlled trial investigated the impact of a 14-week music-based intervention on auditory outcomes in older adult HA users. Forty-seven participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: choir singing ( n = 14; active music training), music appreciation ( n = 13; passive music engagement), or a do-nothing control group ( n = 12). Primary outcome measures included SIN perception, while secondary outcomes assessed pitch perception and frequency-following response (FFR). Results revealed that participants in the choir singing group demonstrated significant improvements in unaided SIN perception and FFR compared to the do-nothing control group, but not in aided conditions. No significant differences were found between the choir singing and music appreciation groups, suggesting that both active and passive music engagement may enhance auditory processing. These findings highlight the potential of music-based training as a complementary intervention for older adults with hearing loss, though further research is needed to establish long-term benefits and effects in everyday listening conditions.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"125-140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483580/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145207787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some individuals may pursue OTC hearing aids and also desire (limited) professional support. The purpose of this article was to explore the potential role of audiologists in patients' self-guided journeys with OTC hearing aids by examining four related questions. (1) Why might audiologists want to know about OTCs? (2) What types of patient support for OTC hearing aids might be beneficial for patients? (3) What additional knowledge and skills, outside of those already obtained for current prescription service delivery models, are necessary or useful? (4) What is the evidence base around service delivery as it extends to OTC hearing aids? Several potential professional support approaches are considered. While speculative due to the constraints of the limited current evidence base, potentially important factors, including the impact on patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, were included when possible. The introduction of OTC hearing aids has changed the hearing aid marketplace; however, the demand for both OTC and prescription hearing aids is only increasing. With these changes, interested audiologists have new and unique opportunities to support more patients by participating in the OTC hearing aid marketplace through the acquisition of new OTC-specific knowledge and through partnerships with other professionals and OTC providers.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 1","pages":"10-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12020622/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
