| Description: | Hearing is a very important asset of man. Loss of it creates a lot ol
psychological and emotional problems. Hence the practice of audiology
helps in solving many of the problems-encountered by person with hearing
impairment. According to Pollack (2000) audiology service is very capable
of reducing many of the communication problems that commonly
accompany hearing impairments. Audiology is a true means of rehabilitating
and habilitating those with hearing impairments. It further helps in the
development of speech and fitting of hearing aids to enhance
communication. because incidences and prevalence of hearing impairments
cannot be controlled without the involvement of audiological service.
Despite the little awareness of the need for audiologieal service and its
importance to the hearing impaired persons a systematic evaluation of
audiological service being carried out for hearing impaired children have
proved adequate, for there are insufficient hearing diagnosis equipments
and the professional audiologists such as clinical and educational
audiologists are few. |
