Auditory Habilitation and Auditory Rehabilitation

Auditory habilitation is performed to assess, diagnose and identify problems such as hearing loss and impaired hearing. Exercises to communicate well with children who have not yet developed proper hearing and speaking abilities come under habilitation. Auditory rehabilitation is the group of procedures put in motion to regain hearing ability or to improve normal communication to whichever extent possible in children and adults who are aurally impaired.

Cognition

Cognition is the mental process of behaving, rational thinking, action-taking, memory, awareness, and judgment. As age grows, people experience cognitive function losses. Speech therapy directed towards alteration in speech and vocal coordination loss due to cognitive changes is called cognitive speech therapy. Due to attention span loss, concentration, and orientation loss, a person’s normal speech articulation can be affected, resulting in repeated speech, disoriented speech, mumbled speech, and more.

Voice – Vocal Tone and Issue

Voice is produced by the vibration of vocal cords. When these vocal cords do not vibrate properly, vocal tone issues like a difference in the pitch, volume, tone, depth, and other qualities of voice occur. The abnormal vocal cord vibrations may be due to the growth of extra tissue near the vocal cords, inflammation, irritation, infection or pathologies, hormonal imbalances vocal overuse, or misuse. All of these conditions lead to change in the morphology which in turn leads to decreased or increased space for the airflow.
