Interventions

Transcranial Direct Stimulationdevice

Brain stimulation using low-intensity current via electrodes on scalp to modify neuronal excitability in the underlying cortex. The tDCS system has customizable head gear with disposable, snap-in electrodes wihich can be applied at home without assistance.

Auditory Training Programother

Web-based program uses consonant and vowel recognition and understanding sentences/conversations in quiet and in noise using different talkers, and other types of listening exercises.
