Definition
-Adults with peripheral HL: 1. Changes in hearing status (new HAs, CIs, sudden hearing loss) 2. ASL users who want to use or improve spoken language 3. Auditory processing disorders
-Older adults: 1. Loss of pure tone sensitivity 2. Suprathreshold auditory processing deficits 3. Cognitive processing 3. Social benefits |
