Interventions
Subjects will be instructed to perform auditory training with the Sound Success computer-based auditory training program. This is a free program that requires a brief account registration. Subjects will be instructed to perform auditory training on a personal device and will be recommended a target usage of at least 30 minutes 5 times per week.
Subjects will be provided a list of common exercises for auditory training. This is the current standard of care at our institution.
