> Designing a Home Therapy Program for the Adult Cochlear Implant

Recipient

>

> The goal of this one-day workshop is to aid cochlear implant users

in designing their own home aural rehabilitation program.

Participants will also gain exposure to assistive technology devices

that can improve the listening experience (we encourage you to bring

your own connecting cables). The majority of the workshop will focus

on giving participants opportunities to evaluate a wide variety of

available resources through direct hands on practice. Upon

completion of the workshop, individuals will have identified

materials for personalizing their own home-based aural

rehabilitation program.
