Audiological Services
The KSU Speech and Hearing Center provides comprehensive hearing evaluations and aural rehabilitation services across all age groups. In addition to identifying the presence or absence of a peripheral hearing loss, the KSU Speech and Hearing Center is equipped to evaluate central auditory processing skills in children. A child exhibiting central auditory processing problems will often experience greater difficulty attending to, discriminating, recognizing, or comprehending speech information presented auditorily, even though the child has normal intelligence and hearing sensitivity.
The aural rehabilitation program offered at the KSU Speech and Hearing Center focuses on improving the hearing impaired individual's ability to successfully function in many different hearing environments. The aural rehabilitation program consists of a hearing aid evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and individual therapy sessions that focus on becoming an active listener and improving speech-reading skills.
All audiological services are supervised by a licensed audiologist.
