- programming realistic therapeutic objectives based on the residual functional capability of the subject;
- management of the hearing aids technology; setting the amplification and signal to noise ratio for optimizing the residual auditory dynamic range and the confort of the subject;
- counseling in the choice of hearing aids and rehabilitative solutions;
- support the subject in the rehabilitation process: involvement of the subject in his rehabilitation plan and training the subject to the use of hearing aids;
