About

Adult Audiologic Rehabilitation, Third Edition is an advanced textbook for doctoral level audiology students that focuses solely on adults with a completely international perspective. It is the only advanced text to meet the need for the high level of preparation required for doctoral level training. It is also an essential resource for practicing clinicians looking for a complete reference on the latest techniques and technologies.

With ever changing technology and new methodologies in client care, the third edition of Adult Audiologic Rehabilitation is a critical resource to audiology education. The book covers definitions of audiologic rehabilitation, an overview of the area, psychosocial impact of hearing loss, assessment strategies, current technologies, treatment methodologies, e-technologies, research needs, and special issues in audiologic rehabilitation. It has been deliberately structured to move the reader from introduction, to specific details of the specialty of audiologic rehabilitation, to providing insights into characteristics of this patient population, and thence to a framework for assessment and treatment of the impact of hearing loss.

Review

"This book builds a vivid picture of adult audiologic rehabilitation in the past, present and future. It considers a holistic view of hearing rehabilitation and introduces new research and ideas which I hope will shape hearing services of the future.

This book gives an abundance of new ideas to consider and incorporate into clinical practice – the clinical implications and the counselling examples provide excellent application of theory to practice. I particularly enjoyed Chapter 25 on vocational issues and hope texts like this will encourage a better quality of rehabilitation and support for D/deaf adults in the workplace. Chapter 26 on auditory and cognitive process is a must-read for audiologists – it serves as a good reminder that the audiogram does not tell the full story.

This book would be well suited to postgraduate students and/or experienced audiologists looking to improve and enhance their practice. Early career audiologists would need a hearing aid textbook alongside, to give them the all the information required for a rehabilitation clinical role. "
