FAQs on Hearing Rehabilitation:

What is hearing rehabilitation?

Hearing rehabilitation is designed to help people with hearing loss. The process starts with identifying and diagnosing a hearing loss and then working to counter the psychosocial, communicative and lifestyle effects of hearing loss. As hearing aids have become more advanced, the hearing rehabilitation process has become more technology-driven. With the advances in digital signal processing, tough hitting issues such as background noise, loudness recruitment, and challenging hearing losses can be addressed. Additionally, some people require aural rehabilitation training. Aural rehabilitation is a formal program that helps you learn how to use your remaining hearing to successfully understand the conversation. These programs often result in a higher degree of patient satisfaction and successful performance with their hearing aids.

How do I know if I need hearing rehabilitation?

Hearing loss is often a gradual process leading to difficulty in recognizing the severity of the impairment. Some signs that hearing rehabilitation may benefit you include:

  • Needing to increase the volume of the television or radio
  • Difficulty understanding conversations on the telephone
  • Difficulty understanding when in groups or social situations
  • Often ask people to repeat themselves
  • Feeling exhausted after attending social events
  • Avoiding social situations because understanding simply becomes too difficult

When is hearing rehabilitation needed?
