All participants enrolled into the study will undergo weekly auditory training for a period of 6 months. Over the 6 month period, each participant will undergo a two 12-week individualised speech tracking program, called the Continuous Discourse Speech Tracking, with and without hearing aids. Each test session will last for approximately 15 minutes. The procedure will be timed and scored in number of words per minute (wpm) transmitted. Tracking rate will be calculated as the number of words correctly repeated divided by the time elapsed.
