| Annotation | Adult aural rehabilitation is the process of restoring, or attempting to restore to the maximum possible degree, communication to the hearing impaired. The causes of hearing impairment or loss, and reasons behind poor attitudes to use of hearing aids are outlined. Most of the article discusses work by D P Goldstein and S D G Stephens, who have set out a logical structure for the process of aural rehabilitation, encompassing not only the provision of appropriate hearing aids, but also the many aspects of an ideal comprehensive service to the hearing-impaired. This work has two major facets: evaluation and remediation. (RH). |
