Clear and easy to read, Introduction to Aural Rehabilitation is practice-oriented and contains the necessary information for a foundations course. This title focuses on the most important practical and clinical aspects of providing services on behalf of children, adults, and the elderly who are hearing impaired. It contains all the material needed for excellent course work, but avoids the technical detail of theoretical texts.
This is the first book written and published that is dedicated solely to hearing loss in older adulthood and, importantly, the processes involved in serving the special needs of older adults who are hearing impaired. It is a concise book, but provides important information for those entering many fields that have as their intent to serve older adults either as a supplement to other texts on communication disorders in aging, or as a concise primary text.
