Adult Audiologic Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition

Adult Audiologic Rehabilitation, Third Edition is  an advanced textbook for doctoral level audiology students that focuses  solely on adults with a completely international perspective. It is the  only advanced text to meet the need for the high level of preparation  required for doctoral level training. It is also an essential resource  for practicing clinicians looking for a complete reference on the latest  techniques and technologies.

With ever changing technology and new methodologies in client care, the third edition of Adult Audiologic Rehabilitation is  a critical resource to audiology education. The book covers definitions  of audiologic rehabilitation, an overview of the area, psychosocial  impact of hearing loss, assessment strategies, current technologies,  treatment methodologies, e-technologies, research needs, and special  issues in audiologic rehabilitation. It has been deliberately structured  to move the reader from introduction, to specific details of the  specialty of audiologic rehabilitation, to providing insights into  characteristics of this patient population, and thence to a framework  for assessment and treatment of the impact of hearing loss.
