S1-6 Different options for auditory training - adaptive rehabilitation Coninx F. 1 1 IfAP, Solingen, Germany Incidental or natural learning describes a process that happens unplanned, all day, initiated by and immediately integrated in daily life activities of a child or adult. In case of hearing loss, natural learning might be in danger. The main aim of medical treatment and technical interventions, like hearing aids and cochlear implants, is to restore natural learning. The primary aim and method of âearly interventionâ (or post-operative rehab) is to monitor and optimize the process factors that allow and secure incidental learning. However, depending on a set of factors, being personal and/or environmental, the natural learning process might not be enough. In that case, various intervention strategies might be added to initiate, support, complete or even replace natural learning. In this presentation, the advantages of incidental learning will be summarized. Also, the process factors that have to be monitored will be discussed. Auditory training is one of those options: training is based on planned and formal learning strategies, activities and contents. For parents as well as for professional educators/therapists âtrainingâ is related to a different educational style. Training can be strongly targeted and training effects can be administered clearly and immediately. Adaptive Rehabilitation is a concept that explores the options and needs of a hearing impaired person. It offers a combination of methods and contents, which will enable and optimize the overall processes of âlearning to listenâ and âlearning through listeningâ. Adaptive Rehabilitation is âcommunity basedâ at the social level of family, school, work place and tries to realize the concept of âinclusionâ. These community-based elements in Adaptive Rehabilitation include relevant factors like communication style in the family, the acoustic environment at home, in school, at the work place, etc. 40
