About this game

Welcome to SoundScape1!
Learning to listen with your hearing aid(s) or cochlear implant(s) should not be boring and it should be fun. SoundScape1 is an interactive auditory training platform that was created by an audiologist and a researcher and was designed to meet your listening needs. This application is suitable for anyone seeking to improve their sound perception and discrimination in a variety of listening environments.
SoundScape1 was developed based on the latest research findings and using current clinical strategies in auditory training. Auditory training is the process of associating sounds to meaning through structured and repetitive listening exercises with immediate feedback. Hearing loss not only reduce your ability to detect sounds, but it also may impair your ability to discriminate speech sounds based on their spectral and temporal properties. This degradation in the quality of perceived sounds makes it very difficult for your brain to interpret speech especially in the presence of background noise.
While hearing aids or cochlear implants can restore your ability to hear speech sounds, they will not help you understand those sounds and structured auditory training is still required to further enhance this ability. Clinical research has shown that auditory training can improve hearing aid and cochlear implant users’ skills to recognize and interpret speech sounds. This was true for both adults and children and even for the most experienced users.

Auditory training was originally established to be used with hearing-impaired children. However, based on its efficacy in improving the perception of speech sounds, it was later advocated for use with adults with hearing loss and for normal hearing children with auditory processing disorders or those with specific language impairment. Auditory training programs are typically structured based on Erber’s hierarchy of listening skills which is known as the listening ladder; these include sound detection, sound discrimination, sound identification, and sound comprehension.
