Abstract: Presented herein are auditory rehabilitation techniques facilitating independent usage of a telephone by a recipient of a hearing device. More specifically, the auditory rehabilitation techniques presented herein are configured to develop the cognitive resources of a recipient that are needed by the recipient to process, in real-time, stimulation signals having a degraded quality that is typical of telephonic signals, and in the absence of visual cues. In addition, the auditory rehabilitation techniques presented herein are configured to develop the cognitive resources of a recipient that are need to formulate, in real-time, spoken responses to the stimulation signals.

Abstract: A method of increasing an ability of a recipient of a hearing prosthesis' ability to hear with the hearing prosthesis, including obtaining data indicative of a first characteristic of content, wherein the content is an audio or an audio-visual content, obtaining data indicative of a second characteristic of the content, identifying, based on the first and second characteristics, specific content and using at least one item of the specific content with the hearing prosthesis such that a hearing percept in the recipient is evoked based on the at least one item of specific content.
