Problem
Hearing aids amplify sound but do not address the brain's ability to process and understand speech, especially in noisy environments. Many patients struggle with comprehension despite using hearing devices, leading to frustration, disengagement, and high rates of hearing aid returns.
Solution
Lace Pro is an AI-powered, patient-led auditory training platform that teaches patients to listen with their brains, not just their ears. The program provides structured exercises in speech-in-noise, rapid speech, and working memory to improve processing speed, attention, focus, and memory. Built on 20 years of peer-reviewed science, Lace Pro has been clinically validated in 10+ clinical trials and discussed in 80+ academic publications, making it the most studied auditory training platform available. The app is fully rebrandable for hearing care practices and can be used at home, reducing the need for clinician-led sessions while keeping patients engaged with their hearing journey.
