It can be helpful to combine listening activities that include “ top down” and “bottom up” processing.
Top down - where you draw on context and information in a whole sentence or phrase to understand.
Bottom up – where you need to recognise the speech sounds (vowels and consonants) to identify a word.
'Active Listening' in your environment to familiarise yourself with sounds.
Making use of assistive technology with your hearing implant processor in noisy environments.
The Team will guide you and suggest specific tailored activities to suit your goals, needs and rate of progress.
