Angel Sound Internet Edition

Angel Sound Program is 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 Sound Program compliments your clinic rehabilitation and functional hearing test program. Angel Sound Internet Edition allows you to share your progress with your audiologists, speech pathologists, physicians, teachers, researchers, and other profes- sionals by real-time data sharing.
