Behavioral counselling for subjects with acquired hearing loss. A new approach to hearing tactics.

The study included a group of 20 hearing-impaired subjects who were assessed and r and omly allocated to a treatment or control group .

The groups were measured three times , pre-counselling and post-counselling and at a 15-month follow-up , after which treatment results were analysed .
