What is Aural Rehabilitation

Abstract

Aural rehabilitation is often described as an add-on to the services that we as professionals in the field of audiology provide on behalf of our patients. We too often find ourselves in a position of attempting to persuade our patients to participate in a service that we feel would be of benefit to them. But then, not wanting to pay extra for another service on top of the cost of the diagnostic services, and perhaps the purchase of expensive hearing aids, our patients may refuse to accept what they consider to be an additional costly service [1-3].
