Auditdata has announced a partnership with Neurotone AI to integrate the Lace Pro auditory training program into its Manage practice management system, allowing hearing care professionals to incorporate auditory training more easily into routine clinical workflows.
The integration connects Neurotone AI’s digital auditory training platform with Auditdata’s audiology-specific practice management software, enabling clinics to provision Lace Pro licenses directly through the system they already use to manage patient care.
According to the companies, the goal is to reduce administrative steps associated with offering auditory training and make it easier for clinicians to include listening exercises as part of hearing rehabilitation.
Integrating Auditory Training Into Hearing Aid Fittings
Through the new integration, hearing care practices can incorporate Lace Pro into Manage’s guided clinical workflows, allowing the program to become part of every new hearing aid fitting.
Once enabled, the system can automatically include auditory training in the fitting process without requiring staff to repeat setup and license provisioning steps for each patient. Practices can also choose to offer Lace Pro selectively to individual patients based on their needs.
The integration is intended to simplify the process of providing auditory training as an additional component of hearing rehabilitation, particularly for patients who continue to experience listening difficulties after receiving hearing aids.
Christoffer Spangenberg, CEO of Auditdata, said the partnership is intended to help clinicians incorporate additional rehabilitation tools into existing workflows.
“We’re proud to partner with Neurotone AI, a well-respected company whose innovative solutions are trusted by audiology clinics and providers around the world. Now, their Lace Pro auditory training program, widely recognized as an effective way to improve hearing comprehension, integrates with Auditdata’s Manage PMS, making it seamless for audiologists to use it as part of their clinical workflows. This is one more way that Auditdata helps clinicians deliver Best Care Experiences for every patient,” said Spangenberg.
Supporting Hearing Rehabilitation Beyond Amplification
Auditory training is designed to help individuals develop listening skills through structured exercises that challenge the brain’s ability to process and interpret sound. Unlike hearing aids, which primarily improve access to acoustic information, auditory training focuses on how listeners recognize, distinguish, and understand sounds and speech.
Neurotone AI’s Lace Pro program builds on approximately two decades of research involving auditory training. The program uses listening exercises intended to improve skills such as understanding speech in background noise and following rapid speech.
Although auditory training has been studied as a potential complement to hearing aids, the degree of benefit can vary depending on the training approach, individual patient characteristics, and outcomes measured. Evidence for improvements in trained listening tasks does not necessarily establish equivalent benefits across all everyday communication situations or broader cognitive functions.
The companies view the integration as a way to make auditory training more accessible within the clinical care process rather than requiring clinicians to manage it as a separate service.
Rick Carlson, CEO and Co-founder of Neurotone AI, said the partnership brings together complementary approaches to hearing care technology.
“Auditdata has decades of experience building technology around the way hearing care is delivered,” said Carlson. “That experience made them a natural partner for us. Together, we’re making it simpler for practices to pair hearing technology with training that can help patients get more from their hearing aids.”
Expanding Digital Tools for Hearing Care Practices
The partnership reflects a broader trend toward integrating rehabilitation services and digital health tools into audiology practice management systems.
For clinics using Auditdata Manage, the integration could reduce administrative barriers to offering auditory training by connecting patient management, hearing aid fitting workflows, and license provisioning within a single software environment.
Auditdata’s broader technology portfolio includes Measure, a platform for audiological testing and fitting, and Manage, which supports practice operations and patient management.
By connecting these clinical and administrative tools with Neurotone AI’s auditory training program, the companies aim to support hearing care that extends beyond the initial hearing aid fitting and into ongoing rehabilitation.
