Rehabilitation of patients with hearing impairment is rarely based on functional analysis of specific target situations, needs, and treatment goals. In this paper a behavioural approach to hearing disability is presented and exemplified with a single-case description of a 70 years old male who was given a brief behavioural treatment according to the results of functional analysis. Self-ratings of hearing disability at pretreatment, posttreatment, and at a 15-month follow-up showed favourable effects of the treatment, whereas no effects were found on a measure of dispositional optimism. |
