Aural Rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to helping individuals with hearing loss develop or regain effective communication skills, going beyond simply fitting hearing aids. It includes auditory training exercises to help the brain process sounds, teaching communication strategies for challenging listening situations, providing counseling for both the individual and their communication partners, offering education about hearing loss and technology, and developing language and speech skills, all aimed at minimizing the impact of hearing loss on daily life and social participation.
