An assessment of individual differences showed that participants with better baseline working memory performance achieved greater learning on the trained tasks. There was no transfer of learning shown to untrained measures of cognition ( working memory or attention), speech-in-noise perception, or self-reported hearing in everyday life. Both of these improvements were maintained 6-month post-training.

Per-protocol analyses showed improvements in trained tasks (Cogmed Index Improvement) that transferred to improvements in a trained working memory task tested outside of the training software (Backward Digit Span) and a small improvement in self-reported hearing ability (Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile, Initial Disability subscale). Retention of training-related improvements was examined at a 6-month follow-up assessment. Participants and the outcome assessor were both blinded to intervention allocation.
#DIGIT SPAN COG LAB DEMO TRIAL#
Design:Ī preregistered randomized controlled trial of 57 adult hearing aid users (n = 27 experimental, n = 30 active control), recruited from a dedicated database of research volunteers, examined on-task learning and generalized improvements in measures of trained and untrained cognition, untrained speech-in-noise perception and self-reported hearing abilities, pre- to post-training. We examined whether a 5-week training program that primarily targets the storage component of working memory (Cogmed RM, adaptive) could improve cognition, speech-in-noise perception and self-reported hearing in a randomized controlled trial of adult hearing aid users with mild to moderate hearing loss, compared with an active control (Cogmed RM, nonadaptive) group of adults from the same population. It is suggested that interventions designed to improve working memory capacity may improve domain-general working memory performance for people with hearing loss, to benefit their real-world listening. Performance on working memory tasks is positively associated with speech-in-noise perception performance, particularly where auditory inputs are degraded.
