Product Description
HeLPS: Hearing Loss and Prosthesis Simulator is designed for a variety of uses by audiologists. In pediatric audiology, HeLPS gives parents insight into their childs hearing loss and the improvements possible with appropriate aid or implant options. In adult aural rehabilitation, HeLPS provides hearing aid candidates with a preview of amplification and the options available with hearing aids. In family counseling, HeLPS demonstrates to family members the communication difficulties faced by their loved one, the importance of lipreading and speaking clearly for assistance in communication, and the improvements that are possible with hearing aids or cochlear implants. In hearing conservation and public education, HeLPS heightens awareness of the effects of hearing loss and thereby promotes careful listening habits and the use of hearing protection. In professional education, HeLPS provides audiology and deaf-education students valuable insights that come from directly experiencing the disability with which they will work as clinicians and teachers. |
