title: Aural rehabilitation and graduate audiology programs.
abstract: The quantity and quality of aural rehabilitation training that audiology graduate students receive versus the current services available to those students regarding work with the hearing impaired, cochlear implant recipients, patients with vestibular disorders, patients with central auditory processing disorders, and patients suffering from tinnitus were examined. Forty ASHA-accredited colleges and universities were contacted by telephone and audiology faculty members were surveyed. The results of the survey may provide valuable information for identifying and addressing shortfalls in aural rehabilitation programs.
