AB Aural  rehabilitation  can  be  defined  as  the  remediation  of  the  functional  component  of  hearing  loss.  This  is  best  accomplished  by  a  combination  of  3  factors:  (1)  hearing  devices  to  provide  audible  sound  input,  (2)  auditory  training  for  the  brain  to  make  sense  of  sounds,  and  (3)  counseling,  for  the  patient  to  understand  the  issues,  options,  processes,  expectations,  and  solutions  pertaining  to  hearing  loss  and  rehabilitation.  In  this  chapter,  each  component  will  be  discussed  separately,  but  they  are  intertwined,  codependent,  and  each  integral  to  a  total  aural  rehabilitation  plan.
