The roots of the profession of audiology lie in auditory rehabilitation. In some ways though, we, as a profession, have lost sight of the need for the rehabilitation and counseling aspect of audiology. This panel will refocus on auditory rehabilitation and its invaluable role in patient satisfaction, outcomes, performance and patient/family centered care.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Describe auditory rehabilitation and its role in today’s audiology private practice
- List possible resources, tools, applications, books, and strategies that are useful and have been successful in integrating auditory rehabilitation into practice
- Describe how to operationalize and monetize an auditory rehabilitation program
- Describe strategies for improving patient engagement in and adherence to auditory rehabilitation
