LACE AI Pro Auditory Training in New York, NY
Your hearing aids capture sound, but making sense of that sound happens in your brain. When hearing loss goes untreated, the brain slowly falls out of practice at sorting speech from noise, following fast talkers, and filling in the words it misses. Even the best hearing aids can't fully restore that skill on their own. That's where LACE AI Pro comes in.
At Advanced Hearing Center, we offer LACE AI Pro as part of our hearing loss rehabilitation for patients across Manhattan and Queens. It's a guided, at-home program that retrains your brain to process sound more efficiently, so the investment you've made in better hearing actually translates into clearer, more confident conversations.
What Is LACE AI Pro?
LACE stands for Listening and Communication Enhancement. It's an interactive auditory-training program, think of it as physical therapy for your ears and brain. You complete short, personalized sessions on your phone, tablet, or computer, and the program uses AI to adjust each exercise to your performance, keeping the challenge at exactly the right level as your skills improve.
The approach reflects the same philosophy behind our medical, brain-first treatment of hearing loss: hearing is a partnership between your ears and your mind, and both deserve attention.
What LACE AI Pro Helps You Do
Regular training is designed to help you:
- Hear in background noise — follow conversations in restaurants, gatherings, and other busy settings
- Keep up with fast talkers — without constantly asking people to repeat themselves
- Strengthen memory and recall — so you retain more of what's said in conversation
- Get more from your hearing aids — especially in the first weeks after a new fitting, when your brain is adapting to fuller sound
How the Program Works
Getting started is simple. You download the app (available for iOS, Android, and desktop) and log in with your phone number, no password to remember. From there, you choose a training type and complete a short daily session, while we monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
LACE AI Pro builds skills across five core areas:
- Speech-in-Noise — understanding speech when there's competing sound
- Working Memory — holding on to what you hear
- Rapid Speech — processing faster conversation
- Missing Word — using context to fill in gaps
- Speech Reading — pairing what you hear with visual cues
The program includes more than 10,000 exercises across 27 topic areas, and even lets you train with the voices of loved ones, so practice feels closer to real-life conversation.
What the Research Shows
LACE AI Pro is built on a platform backed by more than 20 years of research, with 10+ clinical trials involving thousands of patients. Studies indicate that most people begin seeing clinical benefit within just 5 to 10 hours of training, with improvements in speech comprehension and gains that research suggests can last six months or longer.
What to Expect From Your Training Plan
Most patients train about 15 minutes a day for at least 30 days, unless your audiologist recommends a different schedule. Sessions are short by design, easy to fit into your routine, and engaging enough that you'll want to keep going. Throughout the program, our team is here to answer questions and keep you on track.
Who Can Benefit From LACE AI Pro?
LACE AI Pro is a strong fit if you:
- Have recently been fitted with new hearing aids and want to adapt faster
- Still struggle to understand speech in noisy environments
- Find conversations mentally exhausting or tend to avoid social settings
- Want to stay sharp and engaged, supporting the same goals behind reducing your risk of cognitive decline
You don't even need to wear hearing aids to benefit from the program, though it pairs especially well with the right hearing aid technology.
