Auditory/Verbal Adults

Adults who communicate via speech can benefit in the following ways:

• assist with speechreading

• control of voice in loudness, normal variability, pitch levels, and inflection

• environmental sound recognition

• regain contact with sounds that can help overcome feeling of isolation

In this case, the Tactilator (LTD) is the unit of choice. Its processing has been specifically developed to assist speechreading. However, some adults prefer the Tactaid 7 because of its superior environmental sound distinction.

Whichever unit is chosen, initial training is important.
