AUB-7110 Aural Rehabilitation
This course focuses on advances in audiologic rehabilitation as they relate to children and adults with hearing loss. We will explore the role of aural rehabilitation in audiologic practice and consider the effect that psychosocial and cultural factors have on the patients with whom we work. Current rehabilitation strategies and techniques used for children and adults will be discussed along with outcome measures that are available to help audiologists assess their patients’ success and function. Advances in hearing assistance technology will be reviewed and discussed with regard to incorporating such technology into audiologic practice.
