Aural rehabilitation refers to any therapy or technique that is used to improve the receptive communication for people with hearing loss. This may include training in speech reading, auditory training and strategies to improve listening and increase communication effectiveness.
Aural rehabilitation can also be referred to as audiologic rehabilitation, auditory rehabilitation, hearing rehabilitation, and rehabilitative audiology. Some terms are more commonly used to refer to services offered by audiologists and clinicians, whereas some encompass services offered by audiologists and/or speech language pathologists (SLPs).
It can also be defined holistically as the reduction of hearing-loss-induced deficits of function, activity, participation, and quality of life through a combination of sensory management, instruction, perceptual training, and counseling. Effective sensory management may, by itself, lead to improved activity, participation, and quality of life, but there is no guarantee that these outcomes will be automatic or optimal. In fact, there is often a disconnect between clinical measures of assisted auditory function and self-assessed benefit.
At Hearing & Wellness by Porch Light, we try to start with the basics and work our way from there. We also believe in the need for support. We like to work with other therapists to maximize the benefits of Aural Rehabilitation, as well as work in groups to have that support system and information.
