Abstract
This paper outlines the application of a general model of audiological rehabilitation to hearing-aid selection in its broadest sense. In it an attempt is made to take into account the non-acoustical as well as the acoustical factors. From the standpoint of an extension of the general model, it illustrates the way in which the information obtained in the evaluative part of the rehabilitative model may be applied in the remedial part of that model. The overall aim in this is to facilitate an evolution of the process of hearing-aid selection from a clinical 'art' to a clinical 'science' considering all relevant factors.Keywords
