LACE AI Pro
We're excited to announce that Adelaide Tinnitus and Hearing Care is now offering LACE AI Pro — an evidence-based auditory training program developed by Neurotone AI, designed to strengthen the way your brain processes what your ears hear.
LACE stands for Listening and Communication Enhancement. Think of it as physiotherapy for your auditory brain. Just 15 minutes a day for 30 days, on your phone, tablet, or computer. And the results — backed by over 20 years of research — are measurable and real.
Why your ears are only half the story
When we think about hearing difficulty, we tend to focus on the ear — the audiogram, the hair cells, the hearing aids. But hearing is a two-part system. The ear detects sound. The brain interprets it.
When hearing has been reduced over time — whether through noise exposure, age, or other causes — the brain gradually becomes less efficient at its job. It struggles to separate speech from background noise, loses track of fast talkers, and works harder to fill in the gaps. This is why many people say: "I can hear you, I just can't understand you."
Hearing aids help enormously. But they amplify sound — they don't retrain the brain. That's where LACE AI Pro comes in.
Think of it this way: if someone had a hip replacement, you wouldn't send them home without physiotherapy. The device does part of the job — the rehab does the rest. LACE AI Pro is the rehabilitation component for your hearing brain.
What LACE AI Pro actually trains
Training your brain to pick out speech when there's background noise — restaurants, parties, open offices
Keeping up with fast talkers — shop assistants, grandchildren, anyone who speaks at pace
Holding onto what was just said while still processing the next sentence — essential for conversations
The program uses AI to adapt to your performance in real time — increasing the challenge when you're doing well, easing back when things get harder. This keeps your brain working in the productive zone where improvement actually happens.
The research behind it
Years of clinical research behind the LACE program
Peer-reviewed publications supporting its effectiveness
Clinical trials demonstrating measurable improvement in speech understanding
MRI studies have shown increased oxygenated blood flow in the temporal lobe — the brain's auditory processing centre — after just 30 days of training. Clinical trials have also found that patients who use LACE alongside new hearing aids have dramatically lower return rates, because they're getting more out of their devices.
A unique feature — train with voices you know
One of the most powerful features of LACE AI Pro is the ability to personalise your training using familiar voices — your partner, your children, your grandchildren.
The people we most want to hear clearly are the people closest to us. By incorporating their voices into your training, LACE helps your brain become better at recognising and understanding the specific voices that matter most to you in daily life. It makes the training feel meaningful, not clinical.
Your access to the program is for life — and as Neurotone AI continues to develop new exercises and features, you'll receive those updates automatically.
Who benefits from LACE AI Pro?
LACE AI Pro is suitable for:
- People who have recently been fitted with hearing aids and want to get the most out of them
- People with mild hearing loss or normal audiograms who still struggle to hear in noise or groups
- Tinnitus patients who want to reduce the cognitive load of listening
- People who find conversations tiring or exhausting to follow
- Anyone who wants to stay sharp and maintain strong listening skills as they age
You don't need hearing aids to benefit. If you can hear speech but struggle to understand it clearly — especially in noise — LACE AI Pro can help.
How it works at ATAHC
- 1 We discuss your hearing history, listening challenges, and goals — including tinnitus if relevant
- 2 We set you up with LACE AI Pro on your device of choice — phone, tablet, or computer
- 3 You complete 15 minutes a day for 30 days at home — the AI adapts the program to your performance

A pair of Bluetooth headphones is recommended for best results — earbuds, over-ear headphones, or your hearing aids if they connect via Bluetooth to your device.
