About Hear Coach - _VERSION_

Created by Starkey Hearing Technologies, Hear Coach is a suite of listening games designed to challenge your cognitive and auditory skills. Individuals with hearing loss often experience difficulty understanding speech in noise and consequently experience communication breakdowns. Auditory training activities can help those with hearing loss sharpen their hearing and listening skills while improving their speech understanding in noise.

Hear Coach allows you to track your progress and overall performance. Each game contains different levels of difficulty. As your scores improve, you can unlock more levels. You can also email a report of your individual scores and performance over time for any of the games.
