"As we age, chemical changes cause the brain to lose some of its ability to filter out unwanted sound and provide proper feedback to the ear," says D. Robert Frisina, director of the International Center for Hearing and Speech Research at the Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology. "This feedback problem often happens before any sign of trouble with the ear itself." To train the brain to recover some of these skills, Robert Sweetow, director of audiology at U Cal San Francisco has come up with an interactive software program called LACE (Listening and Communication Enhancement) Training.
