A new edition of this text is here.

The Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide: Enhancing Listening and Spoken Language in Children and Adults is the first aural rehabilitation book of its kind to intertwine chapter text with over 200 captioned videos. This unique resource is intended to educate undergraduate and graduate students in speech-language pathology, audiology, and education of the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as enhance the knowledge and skills of practicing professionals. The extensive videos are also an invaluable resource for students enrolled in a clinical or student teaching practicum.

Videos feature speech-language pathologists, audiologists, Listening and Spoken Language Specialists, teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, early interventionists, otologists, and occupational therapists practicing in settings such as clinics, private practices, schools, hospitals, and the community. Topics addressed in the text and videos include hearing technologies, aural rehabilitation procedures, factors that affect intervention outcomes, fundamentals of assessment, supports for education, counseling for children and adults with hearing loss, and the psychosocial well-being of persons with hearing loss and their families.

The Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide can be used as a stand-alone text or as a companion alongside the most frequently used aural rehabilitation textbooks.

 Key Features

  • Over 200 captioned videos accessible on a companion site
  • Collaboration among 14 professionals in audiology, speech-language pathology, Listening and Spoken Language, medicine, education, research, and psychology
  • Chapters with concise summaries, recommended resources for further learning, and study questions with answer keys
  • Background information on the individuals featured in the videos

This exciting new text with instructional videos is a much-needed bridge that integrates the disciplines of speech-language pathology, audiology, and education of the deaf and hard of hearing to educate professionals serving children and adults with hearing loss and their families.

Genetic factors account for at least half of the cases of hearing loss diagnosed in children (CDC, 2017). Examples of genetic etiologies of hearing loss are: CHARGE syndrome (associated with colobomas, heart defects, atresia choanae, growth retardation, genital abnormalities, and ear abnormalities); Pendred syndrome (which includes hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueducts); connexin 26 (a genetic mutation that is one of the most common causes of inheritable childhood sensorineural hearing loss); and Usher’s syndrome (which manifests as hearing loss and progressive loss of vision). In this sample of a pediatric case interview from the companion website, Christina, mother of 14-month-old Harrison, discusses the steps involved in diagnosing her son’s hearing loss and determining its etiology. 

Live voice procedures are often used to determine if listening to clear speech improves the speech recognition of a person with hearing loss. In this video, an AR practitioner uses natural rate speech and clear speech to probe Annabelle’s listening needs. Annabelle has post-linguistic, bilateral, profound hearing loss caused by encephalitis, which she contracted at the age of 47. She has been hearing with a unilateral cochlear implant for 4 months at the time of filming. This video demonstrates how Annabelle’s speech recognition improves when the practitioner speaks clearly, uses natural melody, and allows for increased processing time. The practitioner explains the importance of using clear speech to Annabelle’s mother in order to facilitate their communication in daily life. 

Review

"Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide, the first of its kind, is a video-textbook resource containing not only invaluable evidence-based information but also featuring numerous videos intended to educate university students enrolled in audiology and speech pathology. [...]

Themes covered range from, aural rehabilitation, cochlear implants, intervention and early diagnosis, educational support for students with hearing loss, quality of life, and counselling, to name a few. Each chapter has a natural flow, the authors introduce the relevant topic, discuss pertinent information, present a case and work with the reader to reach the appropriate diagnosis and rehabilitation plan using evidence-based guidelines and the most recent peer-reviewed research in the area. Additionally, the authors complement the use of content with videos hyperlinked in-text, allowing the reader to engage with the patients, patients’ significant others and the practicing professionals. The authors have succeeded in transforming the use of complementary videos as a form of digital storytelling leaving a powerful effect on their target audience, particularly from an educational perspective. The impact and effectiveness of integrating visual elements with written text has been long recognised in instructional (educational) settings such as universities for the purpose of enhancing and accelerating knowledge and skill acquisition. From an educational perspective this is an invaluable resource, one that will provide educators with additional tools in facilitating the knowledge and learning experience of their students.

It is important to note that patient-centred care is increasingly becoming the mandate for the optimal delivery of healthcare services. [...] The most common challenges identified by our students in their professional development of patient-centred care practices were the lack of appropriate role models during their clinical placements. Given that clinician professional behaviours are primarily developed during student days, it then follows that students need to be provided with curricular initiatives and various learning opportunities to promote patient-centredness in this context. Daniel and Bharadwaj (2019) in their video-textbook present videos demonstrating patient-centredness during appointments, and the importance of rapport building for optimal outcomes. The authors, across book chapters, present a step-by-step process including videos ranging from history taking, assessment, feedback, choice of hearing aids and counselling. The nature of the book design will provide audiology students with an invaluable learning experience and an opportunity to adopt the patient-centred attributes as viewed in these videos.

Given the wealth of information presented in this resource, it is particularly useful for clinicians (i.e., audiologists) who may have only practiced in a specific branch of audiological practice. The content and videos are informative with a holistic approach to improving the knowledge and skills of audiologists across numerous facets of audiological practice, including the importance of interprofessional collaboration for the optimal care of patients with hearing loss. Overall, the Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide has my highest recommendation for use not only in educational and/or clinical settings but across all audiology sectors."
