Mediators and Moderators of Auditory Training

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how Auditory Training (AT) may help people better understand speech in noisy environments. As people get older, it becomes harder for them to hear speech clearly when there is background noise. This can be frustrating, and it can affect their independence and quality of life. AT is often used to support people with and without hearing loss, especially when a person is not a good candidate for a hearing aid or when amplification from a hearing aid does not improve performance. The investigators want to gather reliable data to understand how AT works and what affects its success. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * How do different types of sounds influence the effectiveness of auditory training? * Which auditory training approaches are most successful in improving speech understanding? * How do personal traits impact the results of auditory training? The investigators will study a large and diverse group of 1,260 participants, including both young and older adults, to evaluate various auditory training approaches. You will: * Take part in auditory training sessions that include different types of auditory tasks. * Complete tests that measure how well they understand speech in both quiet and noisy settings. * Complete surveys on personal data like demographics, hearing challenges and other factors to help researchers understand what might influence training results. The investigators will measure and compare the …
