These findings suggest that the auditory cortex may transmit significant non-auditory signals relevant for learning-related plasticity.
Hearing Aid Use Improves Brain Processing Over Time
The brain adjusts quickly to amplified sound—that’s a good thing. But the brain’s ability to fully interpret amplified signals in a meaningful way requires a longer period of time. The typical hearing aid trial period is 30 days, so the hearing aid user may not be experiencing the full benefits of amplification at the end of that period.
