Hearing loss produces a communication handicap which is not always predictable from audiometric results. Handicap questionnaires can be useful for identification of potential rehabilitation candidates. Hearing aids have been improved but cannot be expected to compensate for all the speech perception problems associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Other communication aids can be used to reduce hearing handicap. Effective use of devices often requires more instruction than is currently available. A comprehensive rehabilitation program takes into account individual circumstances and provides for a variety of services in addition to provision of aids.
听力损失会造成沟通障碍，而这种障碍并非总是能从听力测试结果中预测出来。残障问卷有助于识别潜在的康复对象。助听器虽已有所改进，但不能指望它能弥补与感音神经性听力损失相关的所有言语感知问题。其他沟通辅助工具可用于减轻听力残障。有效使用这些设备通常需要比目前更多的指导。全面的康复计划会考虑个体情况，除了提供辅助设备外，还会提供多种服务。
