1. A method for training a user to discriminate a sound, comprising:
- selecting a phonetic class of sounds to be presented to the user;
presenting a first and second sound to the user from the phonetic class of sounds; and
selecting a second phonetic class of sounds to be presented to the user, the second phonetic class of sounds having a different perceptual saliency than the original phonetic class of sounds so that the difficulty of the sound discrimination changes based on the particular phonetic class of sounds being selected.

8. An apparatus for training a user to discriminate between different sounds, comprising:
-
means for selecting a phonetic class of sounds to be presented to the user from a set of phonetic classes of sounds, wherein each phonetic class of sounds has a different perceptual saliency so that the difficulty of discriminating the sounds changes based on the selected phonetic class of sounds; and
means for presenting a sound to the user from the selected phonetic class of sounds. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
