What Is Aural Rehabilitation?

Aural Rehabilitation (also called Auditory Rehabilitation) is a comprehensive program designed to:

  • Maximize the benefit of hearing devices (hearing aids, cochlear implants, etc.)
  • Improve listening and communication strategies
  • Reduce the impact of hearing loss on daily life
  • Rebuild confidence in social and professional settings

We customize your rehab plan based on your individual hearing needs, lifestyle, and goals.

Who Can Benefit?

Aural Rehab is ideal for:
  • Adults or children newly diagnosed with hearing loss
  • Patients struggling to adapt to hearing aids
  • Individuals with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD/APD)
  • Seniors experiencing age-related hearing decline
  • Anyone who wants better communication, not just louder sound

What Does It Include?

Our Aural Rehabilitation Programs may include:

  • Hearing aid orientation & advanced user training
  • Auditory training to improve speech understanding, even in noise
  • Lipreading (speechreading) skills
  • Listening strategies for group settings
  • Counseling and communication coaching for individuals and families
  • Assistive listening device support
  • Goal-based progress tracking

We work closely with each patient to ensure that hearing support goes beyond devices—into daily life.
