Auditory-Aural Therapy

The purpose of Auditory-Aural Therapy is to help you make the

best use of whatever hearing you have (i.e., residual hearing)

so that you can be confident and thrive in everyday listening

situations. 

​

Our program begins with a listening evaluation, and then

working collaboratively, we establish therapy goals. After 8-10

weekly therapy sessions, progress is reviewed, and further

support is considered, if needed.

​

You could be a candidate for Auditory-Aural Rehabilitation Therapy if your word recognition skills are poorer than your audiogram would suggest, you struggle to comprehend speech in noise, or you're transitioning to the use of hearing aids or a cochlear implant.
 

Special Offer May/June 2024 - In celebration of National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we're offering a one-hour Comprehensive Functional Listening Evaluation at no cost to you.

Speech and Language Therapy 

Individual Speech and/or Language Therapy may be needed

by individuals who were born with a hearing loss or who have

experienced long-standing early-onset hearing loss. The focus

and may include:

• Voice production

• Articulation improvement

Speechreading (Lipreading) Training

People with all degrees of hearing loss can discover better communication by learning to speech read (also known as lipread). Working one-on-one as well as in a group setting, an expert from the CHC team can help you to decipher sounds and conversation cues by observing a person’s mouth, facial expressions, and gestures.

 

“Learning to speech read has improved my life! I truly could not exist in the environment that I live in without speechreading along with my aided hearing.” – CHC Client
