Apps that help with auditory processing and listening skills:
Phonetic Birds, by Sockel Lernmedien
Recognizing and comparing sounds is a skill that lays the foundation for speaking and reading. Phonetic Birds is an auditory training app that uses game play to help children learn to listen for changes in sound patterns. If your child is showing a delay in this area, or if you just want to reinforce your child's auditory development, this app will help you accomplish your goal.
Processing Pow-Wow, by Synapse Apps
Processing Pow-Wow targets auditory processing and memory skills. It is appropriate for ages five and up. There are a total of six levels and a barrier game activity. Each level has up to 50 different stimuli that are presented in a randomized order. "Wait time" is embedded in the app, following the presentation of auditory information, in order to allow the user time to process the information before using it. Data tracking capability is also included.
Hear Coach, by Starkey Hearing Technologies
Hear Coach is a suite of listening games developed by Starkey Laboratories; it features games that challenge both your cognitive and auditory sharpness. Individuals with hearing loss tend to have increased difficulty understanding speech in noise, and as a result experience communication breakdowns. Tasks like the ones in this game have been shown to help improve listening abilities in noise. When people have improved listening in noise, they don't have to work as hard to hear and can relax and participate in conversations without straining, even in loud and busy environments.
Dyslexia Quest, by Nessie Learning
Climb the mountain and play the yeti games. Each game will test memory and learning skills. The games in Dyslexia Quest are designed to assess working memory, phonological awareness, processing speed, visual memory, auditory memory and sequencing skills. Dyslexia Quest has been developed, researched and tested at the Bristol Dyslexia Center. The app is designed for a single player and does not support simultaneous multiple users.
