Audiological rehabilitation: management Model I.
Techniques used in audiological rehabilitation are developing at a rapid rate. These have not yet been brought together in a comprehensive procedural model. This paper depicts such a model of the rehabilitative process. It is broad and general and independent of setting or philosophy. It incorporates instrumental and non-instrumental components and considers sequencing and interaction of various procedures. Hearing aids are treated as only one segment of instrumental assistance. The model is a first approximation to what is considered to be a highly detailed process. It should stimulate discussion which will lead to modification as well as elaboration.
