Abstract
The contemporary practice of adult audiologic rehabilitation is client centered, individualized, and efficient. Audiologists recognize that audiologic rehabilita- tion is vital but also acknowledge the economic realities of cost-oriented hearing health care. Time is money, so rehabilitation protocols must accommodate the fast pace of today's clinical practices. In this article, current rehabilitative strategies surrounding the adult hearing aid fitting are reviewed, including clear speech, hearing aid follow-up groups, auditory training, lipreading, self- assessment tools, and treatment outcome measurement. These strategies, although not new, are discussed in a 21st-century context to allow practical approaches to providing rehabilitative treatment to adults with hearing loss and their family members and/or significant others.
