What is it about?
we developed a new auditory spatial training to help elderly normal hearing listener in release of informational masking. This paper examined if this train can affect the informational masking release. By releasing from the informational masking elderly people could track the speech in noisy environments and have a better quality of life.

Why is it important?
Current neuroscientific studies have suggested that the central auditory system has a strong neuroplasticity capability for auditory spatial processing and since the effect of short-term and long-term auditory rehabilitation programs has been demonstrated in elderly people, it seems that by providing auditory spatial training, we can aid the elderly population to perform informational masking release, preventing them from missing conversations in noisy environments
Perspectives
One of the most important points in independent life during aging is the capability for effective verbal communication. So i hope to aid the aging people to have a better quality of life.
