The field of audiological rehabilitation in adults faces an array of opportunities. Some of these are technological, as with the advent of fully digital hearing-aids, and some involve clinical practice, such as opportunities for true multidisciplinary working, and for changes in hearing-aid prescription and provision. The development of well-validated questionnaire instruments should facilitate robust research into the effectiveness of clinical interventions in adult audiological rehabilitation, for such evidence is urgently needed if the field is to thrive.
