Speech Banana is an app that helps individuals using a hearing aid or cochlear implant learn how to interpret and respond to everyday speech. It mimics the format of an in-person auditory training session, and focuses on common speech sounds, presenting the most easily recognized vowels first and progressing to more difficult consonants with later lessons. Users can proceed however suits them best, making for a customized learning experience. Note that this does not include pictorial representations of the vocabulary used in the app. We hope you find our app useful, and we encourage you to email us with any questions or comments at speechbanana@jhu.edu.
