This free program is for adults using hearing aids or cochlear implants who want to practice listening for word differences in both quiet and noise.
The ability to discriminate between vowels and consonants is a skill that improves with practice. This app is designed for both self-study or work with a friend or other party (referred to as your “Listening Coach”).
After you take the placement test, the app will suggest areas to visit where you can practice listening for words or words within phrases in a 45-level hierarchy. You can choose to add noise at any time to increase the difficulty.
WordSuccess is easy to navigate and is packed with useful features, including:
•A placement test you can take at any time which will lead you to recommended levels
•A 45-level hierarchy of word differences
•Over 2,300 recorded spoken words to test discrimination skills
•Options to practice alone or with a friend acting as a “Listening Coach”
