Welcome to Angel SoundTM, an interactive auditory training and hearing assessment program that lets you
take control of your listening rehabilitation independently or self-administer your functional hearing test at
home. You gain practice in discriminating and identifying sounds and speech components through a series of
self-paced modules that cover different aspects of the listening process. The level of difficulty is automatically
adjusted to match your developing listening skills. The program provides audio-visual feedback, highlighting
areas you can continue to practice. The training and testing results can be shared with your clinician or
therapist, who can provide further advice on your rehabilitation. Focused on practice and improvement of
your listening skills, Angel SoundTM compliments your clinic rehabilitation and functional hearing test program.
Angel SoundTM is an UPGRADED and FREE version of “Sound and WAY Beyond”, an auditory rehabilitation
program based on CAST technology and distributed by Cochlear Americas. Angel SoundTM includes more
advanced training protocols (i.e., bilateral training procedures, advanced psychophysical training protocols,
animated audio and visual feedback, remote data access, and advanced training customization with favorite
setting) than Sound and WAY Beyond. Also, Angel SoundTM has more advanced training modules (i.e.,
comprehensive music training, auditory resolution training, and functional hearing test module). The
functional hearing test module provides a perfect tool to self-assess your functional hearing with a variety of
speech and music recognition tests, including auditory resolution, phoneme, music, speech in quiet and
noise, and auditory cognition (short-term memory) etc.
•
Phonemic-based minimal acoustic and perceptual contrast training protocols Reinforce the brain's ability
to distinguish between phonemes which are the building blocks of language;
•
Psychoacoustic-based adaptive speech in noise training protocols to Enhance the listening and
communication skills and strategies for the listening conditions encountered in the daily life;
•
Comprehensive sound materials and advanced signal processing to Simulate the “real-world” listening
environment (environmental sounds, speech sounds, speech in noise, and music etc);
•
Seamless integration of training and testing to Track the functional hearing status over time as well as
the improvement over the course of auditory training.
It is important to use age-appropriate listening materials for hearing-impaired children who have cochlear
implant devices or hearing aid devices to facilitate their language development. The latest “learning by
listening” module is developed to facilitate the learning of different sounds and new words for children with
cochlear implants and/or hearing aid devices, by incorporating the latest scene-based training protocols.
