Hearing happens in the brain.
Most people, with or without hearing loss, will struggle to hear in noisy environments. When there are lots of sounds competing for our attention, it becomes much harder to focus on each sound. We can hear the conversations around us, but it becomes harder to understand what is being said.
This is where auditory training can help.
Auditory training targets key hearing and cognitive skills to improve the brain’s ability to focus on the sounds you want to hear. Through immersive and interactive games, you can practise your hearing skills and improve your ability to interpret the sounds around you.
The more you train your hearing, the more you can benefit
In our latest research study:
20%
Participants improved by 2dB, on average. This is a 20% improvement in speech intelligibility.
83%
of participants found that eargym’s training programme improved their hearing skills.
68%
of participants improved their ability to hear in noisy places in just 7 weeks.*
*Measured with participants who listed this as an area they wanted to improve in.
ABOUT AUDITORY TRAINING
Why train your hearing? Because it's more than
just volume.
Hearing isn't just about how your ear takes in sound; it's about how your brain processes it. Even with perfect hearing, our modern world—noisy environments, complex conversations, and constant distractions—strains our auditory processing.
When there are lots of sounds competing for our attention, it becomes much harder to focus on each sound. We can hear the conversations around us, but it becomes harder to understand what is being said.
That's where eargym can help. Our auditory training app improves our capacity to listen in everyday situations.
Immersive games designed to improve hearing
Just like exercise for our bodies, eargym’s training adapts to your performance for maximum impact. Each session is personalised to you, making sure you continue to challenge both your hearing and cognitive skills.
Our suite of immersive training games are designed to improve different auditory processing skills like speech comprehension and the ability to locate sounds. We simulate realistic listening scenarios to make sure eargym’s training has real-world application.

-
It is based upon validated, scientific research;
-
The results align with national averages for prevalence of hearing loss;
-
The results correlate with subjective measures for users struggling to hear in noisy environments.

What our research participants have to say
“I find Busy Barista a very useful game as it means I have to really focus on my hearing. I have to concentrate and listen harder to get my hearing into better shape and strengthen my hearing skills.”
