ABOUT BOOK

The book that you are reading introduces you to the nature and process of aural reha-bilitation. As an introductory look at the processes involved in this exciting service, it covers a broad range of topics considered to be the most important in preparing future professionals to serve children and adults with impaired hearing. It is a natural out-growth of what previously became a popu-lar text entitled Aural Rehabilitation, writ-ten and edited by this author, that resulted in four successful editions over a span of more than 20 years
