Adult Aural Rehabilitation: What Is It and Does It Work?
Arthur Boothroyd, PhD

Hearing loss can have serious effects on:

• auditory function (the things one can do in the clinic, or research lab, if asked)

• activity (the things one needs or wants to do in every day life–especially communicate via spoken language)

• participation (in social, vocational, and avocational activities)

• quality of life (self-perceived)

After receiving hearing aid(s), cochlear implant(s), or hearing assistance technology, the purpose of aural rehabilitation is to minimize the effect of hearing loss on aspects of life listed above.
