See Aural Rehabilitation.

Listening to environmental sounds, music and speech to practice recognizing and understanding what has been heard. In other words, the process of training a person to use their residual hearing to the best of their ability to recognize, identify and interpret sound.

An Assistive Listening Device—typically a personal FM system—for use in the classroom and/or at home. The benefit is that the background room noise is not amplified, and the parent or teacher’s voice goes directly to the child’s ear from any location, even from another nearby room.

See Auditory Training.

Same as Aural Rehabilitation.

Any reflex occurring in response to a sound. If the ear is essentially deaf, there will not be any auditory reflex.
