This subject builds on Sound and Innovative Solutions A exploring hearing devices, communication strategies and alternative rehabilitation solutions. Students will gain an understanding of patient-centred practices, gaining an understanding of the complex rehabilitation options available. Throughout the subject, students will work through cases in workshop-style classes, allowing students to explore the different aural rehabilitation options available and tailor the technology and settings to be specific to individual needs. By the end of this subject, students will be able to create, perform and evaluate individualised rehabilitation solutions for clients.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Discuss using plain and inclusive language how hearing devices function and how they can be fitted, adjusted and monitored.
- Investigate client outcomes using theoretical frameworks, client reported measures and/or objective measures.
- Adapt aural rehabilitation techniques in the development and implementation of individualised rehabilitation programs.
- Describe client and clinician characteristics that influence aural rehabilitation processes and outcomes.
- Construct client-centred approaches for designing, implementing, and communicating rehabilitation solutions (including audiological therapy, technology modifications and further referrals) to meet the specific needs of each client, including those with differing needs and from diverse backgrounds.
