At Quincy Audiology, we’re committed to helping you hear better and live better. We’ve been serving our community with personalized hearing care for years, offering a range of services from comprehensive hearing evaluations to advanced hearing aid fittings. But we know that hearing care goes beyond just devices—it’s about empowering you to thrive in every listening environment. That’s why we’re proud to offer LACE Auditory Training as part of our approach to hearing health, a program designed to enhance your listening skills and maximize the benefits of your hearing aids.
What Is LACE Auditory Training?
LACE (Listening and Communication Enhancement) is a clinically validated, peer-reviewed auditory training platform that we’ve integrated into our practice to help you get the most out of your hearing journey. As described on the LACE Auditory Training website, it’s like “physical therapy for your brain.” LACE strengthens your ability to process and understand sound, focusing on the brain’s role in hearing. While hearing aids amplify sound, LACE helps your brain make sense of it, especially in challenging situations like noisy restaurants or crowded family gatherings.
At Quincy Audiology, we’ve seen firsthand how LACE can transform the way our patients experience sound. Independent studies, as noted on the LACE website, have verified that this program reduces hearing aid returns, improves patient task scores, and enhances overall quality of life. It’s a tool that complements the advanced hearing solutions we provide, ensuring you’re not just hearing better but truly understanding better.
How We Use LACE at Quincy Audiology
Our team at Quincy Audiology incorporates LACE Auditory Training into our patient care plans to address the unique challenges that come with hearing loss. Hearing loss can make social interactions, family events, and everyday conversations feel overwhelming. LACE helps bridge that gap by training your brain to better process speech, even in difficult listening environments.
When you visit us, we start with a comprehensive hearing evaluation to understand your specific needs. If you’re a candidate for hearing aids, we’ll fit you with the best device for your lifestyle, whether it’s a discreet in-the-ear model or a powerful behind-the-ear option. But we don’t stop there. For many of our patients, we recommend LACE as a follow-up to their hearing aid fitting. This program is particularly beneficial for new hearing aid users who are adjusting to amplified sound, as well as experienced users looking to improve their listening skills.
LACE is seamlessly integrated into our practice through the LACE AI Pro platform, which combines decades of science with cutting-edge technology. As the LACE website highlights, this platform allows us to stay connected with you throughout your training. We can provide personalized guidance, track your progress, and adjust your program to ensure you’re getting the most out of every session. Whether you’re practicing at home or on the go, LACE makes auditory training accessible and engaging.
Expanding on the Benefits of LACE for Our Patients
At Quincy Audiology, we’ve seen LACE make a real difference in our patients’ lives, and we’re excited to expand on how this program can benefit you. Here are some of the ways LACE enhances your hearing care experience:
- Improved Speech Understanding in Noise
One of the most common complaints we hear from patients is difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, like a bustling coffee shop or a lively family dinner. LACE is designed to tackle this challenge head-on. Through interactive exercises, the program trains your brain to focus on speech while filtering out background noise. As one LACE user shared on their website, “I don’t shy away from going to parties now… and my audiologist was shocked that I got a better score in background noise.” We’ve seen similar results with our patients, who report feeling more confident in social settings after completing their LACE training. - Personalized Training with Real-Life Applications
LACE isn’t a one-size-fits-all program—it’s tailored to your unique needs. At Quincy Audiology, we work with you to customize your training, incorporating recordings of family and friends’ voices to make the exercises more meaningful. As noted on the LACE website, this personalization helps you practice with voices that matter most to you, making it easier to reconnect with loved ones. Imagine being able to hear your grandchild’s laughter or your spouse’s voice more clearly at the dinner table—LACE helps make that a reality. - Boosted Confidence and Independence
Hearing loss can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or frustration, but LACE empowers you to take an active role in your hearing health. A testimonial on the LACE website captures this perfectly: “LACE made me feel less like one more defective senior waiting on a medical miracle—I could participate in my own treatment.” At Quincy Audiology, we’ve witnessed this transformation in our patients. After completing LACE, many report feeling more in control of their hearing, which translates to greater confidence in their daily lives—whether they’re attending a community event in Quincy or enjoying a quiet conversation at home. - Maximizing Your Hearing Aid Investment
Hearing aids are a significant investment, and we want to ensure you’re getting the most value from them. LACE enhances the performance of your hearing aids by training your brain to process sound more effectively. The LACE website notes that this program “ensures you get the most out of your hearing aids, making every dollar count.” At Quincy Audiology, we’ve found that patients who use LACE alongside their hearing aids often experience fewer adjustments and a smoother adaptation period, leading to higher satisfaction with their devices. - A Fun and Engaging Experience
Auditory training doesn’t have to be a chore. LACE is designed to be interactive and enjoyable, with exercises that feel more like games than therapy. The LACE website describes it as “homework your patients will love doing,” and we couldn’t agree more. Our patients often tell us they look forward to their daily LACE sessions, which take just 20–30 minutes and can be done from the comfort of home. Whether you’re using the 10-session DVD format or the 20-session computer-based format (as studied in the randomized control trial on the LACE website), the program keeps you motivated with clear progress tracking and achievable goals.
