'HeLPS: Hearing Loss
and Prosthesis Simulator'
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.
