Rehabilitative Approaches for Age-Related Changes in Auditory Function:
What Every Clinician Needs to Know
When do "age-related declines" in communication begin?
When do older adults seek help for hearing/communication problems and
why?
How do age-related cognitive changes and other non-auditory factors
influence communication and rehabilitation strategies?
What aural rehabilitation strategies are most effective for the
heterogeneous population of older adults living in care?
Division 6 (Hearing and Hearing Disorders: Research and Diagnostics) and
Division 15 (Gerontology) are sponsoring a live Web event, Tuesday, June
20, 2006, 8:00-10:00 pm EST in the discussion forums area of the ASHA
Web site: http://www.asha.org/Forums/messages.aspx?ForumID=8732 During
these "office hours," experts are available to answer your questions
about age-related changes in auditory function.
The goal is to foster real-world, practical application of research
results in the aural rehabilitation of older adults. Chat with experts
