(San Diego, CA – October 11, 2013) – Now in its second edition, Introduction to Aural Rehabilitation continues to provide all the elements necessary for a comprehensive, practice-oriented course in the habilitation/rehabilitation of children, adults, and the elderly with impaired hearing. This user-friendly text focuses on the most important clinical and practical aspects of providing services to the hearing impaired, while avoiding the technical detail of theoretical texts.

- Speech development for children with impaired hearing;
- Listening and language development for children with impaired hearing;
- Hearing aids and non-hearing aid assistive listening devices;
