Introducing Lace AI: A New Era of Listening Training at Hear and Clear Care
When most people think about hearing, they imagine how well their ears pick up sound. But hearing is only part of the story. The real magic—understanding, separating speech from noise, staying focused in conversation—happens in the brain.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Lace AI, created by Neurotone AI, as a new service within our clinic. This innovative listening and communication training program is designed to help patients strengthen the brain side of hearing.
Whether you use hearing aids or simply struggle in noisy environments, Lace AI can help retrain your brain to listen more effectively.
What Is Lace AI?
Lace AI (Listening and Communication Enhancement) is an evidence-based auditory training program that helps people improve their ability to understand speech—especially in challenging listening situations like restaurants, meetings, family gatherings, and phone calls.
Unlike traditional hearing tools, Lace AI focuses on listening skills, not amplification. It’s a digital “workout” for the brain pathways responsible for understanding speech.
How Lace AI Works
Lace AI uses short, interactive training sessions that patients complete on their phone, tablet, or computer. These modules challenge your brain to:
✔ Separate speech from background noise
✔ Improve auditory memory
✔ Process rapid speech
✔ Strengthen focus and listening stamina
✔ Build confidence in real-life communication
Each session adapts in real time, becoming easier or harder based on your performance—making the program feel personalised and engaging.
Most sessions take just 10–15 minutes a day, a few times per week.
Why Auditory Training Matters
Hearing aids and other hearing devices amplify sound, but they don’t automatically teach your brain how to make sense of that sound. Many patients still struggle with:
- Noisy restaurants
- Group conversations
- Fast talkers
- New voices
- Understanding TV or phone speech
Lace AI works alongside hearing devices to help bridge that gap.
Think of hearing aids as receiving sound—and Lace AI as helping the brain interpret it.
Who Can Benefit from Lace AI?
Lace AI is a great option for:
- New hearing-aid users
- Long-time users who still struggle in noise
- Patients with mild–moderate hearing loss
- Cochlear implant users
- Adults who feel their listening skills aren’t what they used to be
Even people with normal hearing but poor speech-in-noise performance can benefit.
The Benefits You May Notice
Patients who complete Lace AI often report:
🌟 Better understanding of speech in noise
🌟 Stronger concentration during conversations
🌟 Improved memory for names, directions, and details
🌟 Reduced listening fatigue

These improvements can make family gatherings, work meetings, and everyday conversations more enjoyable and less tiring.
