Learn what each role sees on the Lace AI Pro Patient Dashboard and how to interpret key training metrics.
Permissions
Here’s what each role can see:
- Clinic Admin: Can view all patients and their records.
- Provider: Can only view patients assigned to them and those patients’ records.
User Activity Levels
These show how actively a patient is training:

Intermittent User |
Minimal activity; needs encouragement |
45 minutes per week |
Dashboard Metrics
- Last Session: When the patient last trained.
- Total Training Time: Total time spent training since they began.
- Longest Lesson: The single longest lesson they’ve completed.
Training Progress
This section shows how many levels a patient has completed in each exercise type as they work toward becoming an Expert Communicator.
Each exercise type (Speech in Noise, Rapid Speech, Working Memory, and Speech Reading) includes 4 levels of increasing difficulty, with each level representing a deeper stage of auditory skill development.
- Patients progress sequentially through each level.
- Completion bars show percentage progress within each exercise type.
- Completing all levels in every exercise type equals roughly 9 total hours of auditory training.

Scoring Overview
- Scores reflect how patients are improving in four core listening areas
- Speech in Noise
- Rapid Speech
- Working Memory
- Missing Word
- Graphs appear once there are at least five days of training data.
- Each exercise graph shows improvement trends and helps providers explain progress over time rather than day-to-day fluctuations.
1. Speech in Noise (SIN)
Purpose: Measures how well a person understands speech in background noise.
How it works:
- The system plays sentences at varying noise levels.
- When the patient understands and taps Yes, the next exercise gets harder (more background noise).
- When they tap No, the next gets easier.
- Over time, it finds their threshold - how much background noise they can handle while still understanding speech.
How to interpret:
- Very Quiet: Having a conversation in a quiet room where there is minimal background noise.
-
- SNR Range: +15 dB and above
- Quiet: Talking in a car with low road noise or in an office with mild ambient sound.
-
- SNR Range: +10 to +14 dB
- Moderate Noise: Conversations in a busy cafe or during a family dinner in a moderately noisy home.
-
- SNR Range: +5 to +9 dB
- Noisy: Background noise is close to the level of speech; understanding requires considerable effort.
- SNR Range: +1 to +4 dB
- Very Noisy: Trying to communicate in environments like busy urban streets or crowded public transit.
-
- SNR Range: 0 to +4 dB
- Extremely Noisy: Attempting to hold a conversation in very loud settings such as near heavy machinery, during loud events, or in entertainment venues.
- SNR Range: Below 0 dB
Takeaway: Improvement here means patients are better able to follow conversations in noisy environments - one of the biggest real-world challenges for hearing loss.
2. Rapid Speech
Purpose: Trains the brain to process fast talkers or time-compressed speech.
How it works:
- Each exercise plays a sentence at a specific Words Per Minute (WPM) rate.
- When patients understand (tap Yes), the system increases the speed; if not, it slows down. Their average WPM from correct answers determines their comprehension score
How to interpret:
- Normal speed: ~150 WPM (everyday conversation).
- Fast: 170–200 WPM (e.g., radio announcer).
- Very Fast: 230–300 WPM (fast talker).
Takeaway: When a patient’s average WPM goes up, it means their brain is adapting - they’re understanding faster speakers more easily and filling in missed words better in real life.
3. Working Memory
Purpose: Measures how well patients can remember and process auditory information under time pressure.
How it works:
- Each question tests both accuracy and speed.
- Correct answers earn points, but faster correct answers earn higher scores (up to 100).
- Slower or incorrect answers score lower.
- The score gradually drops the longer it takes to respond
How to interpret:
- High scores (80–100): Quick and accurate - strong listening memory.
- Moderate (50–79): Generally accurate but slower recall.
- Low (<50): Needs improvement in attention or processing speed.
Takeaway: Strong working memory helps patients stay engaged in conversations, remember details, and handle multiple talkers - key for hearing aid success and daily communication.
