If you’re a Maine adult with severe or profound hearing loss and are considering cochlear implants, you can improve your hearing, communication skills, and quality of life through Aural Rehabilitation with our Listening and Spoken Language Specialists.
hear ME now services are tailored to your specific communication needs with the goal of maximizing and reintegrating listening into your daily life.
Individual Aural Rehabilitation Therapy for Adults with Cochlear Implants
- We are an integral member of your implant team every step of the way. We communicate closely with your implant surgeon and audiologist, to make sure you achieve the best outcomes possible.
- We start with a pre-implant orientation session to answer questions, discuss concerns and help prepare you for what to expect.
- In post cochlear implant rehabilitation sessions, you’ll receive individualized auditory exercises from our team. All our adult service providers hold a certification in Listening and Spoken Language (LSLS).
- We’ll monitor your progress and work closely with your “mapping” audiologist
- You’re encouraged to include family members and/or friends in our sessions to facilitate practice in your home and daily life. This support is important during your transition from dependence on lip-reading to more reliance on listening for everyday conversations.
TELE-THERAPY AVAILABLE
hear ME now offers its aural rehabilitation services via web-based video therapy. Video conferencing options allow you to be face-to-face with your speech pathologist so that, just like for in-person visits, you can benefit from speech reading cues and listening with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. There is also an option for closed captions on some video conferencing platforms. Contact us for more information at info@hear-me-now.org.
