What are the Treatment Options for Auditory Rehabilitation?
Several treatment options are available for auditory rehabilitation in cancer patients:
1. Hearing Aids: These devices amplify sound and are customized to fit the specific hearing needs of the patient. 2. Cochlear Implants: For severe hearing loss, cochlear implants may be recommended. These devices bypass damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. 3. Assistive Listening Devices: Tools like FM systems and amplified telephones can help improve communication in various settings. 4. Auditory Training: Rehabilitation programs that focus on improving listening skills and speech comprehension. 5. Counseling: Psychological support and counseling can help patients cope with the emotional impact of hearing loss.
