Auribus

Features and Characteristics

Auribus uses a course-based approach to auditory training that dynamically adjusts to user goals. It provides the world's most comprehensive catalog of hearing rehabilitation material, featuring 33,523 utterances and sounds, 8,527 exercises, 179 activities, and 14 speakers and voices. The courses cover all aspects from basic auditory discrimination and phonological awareness exercises to advanced speech comprehension and cognitive skill training. Modules include Ambient Sounds, Linguistic Sounds, Words and Sentences, and Advanced Material.

Instructions and How It Works

Users are guided into a course of rehabilitation during app setup, which is composed of several decks containing cards that present aural concepts. A card answered correctly is scheduled for review at a later date, while an incorrect one is reviewed in the next session. Cards are retired once consistently answered correctly, allowing focus on areas needing the most improvement. A commitment of at least 10 minutes a day is recommended, and an activity only takes a few minutes to complete.

Target Audience

Designed for individuals with hearing loss looking to improve auditory skills, including those who have recently acquired a hearing aid or cochlear implant, those who have undergone changes to their device's programming, or those looking to improve hearing function or speech comprehension after a hearing aid fitting.
