Abstract

Often in the context of rehabilitation for adults with hearing loss, we hear the voices of cynics. “It costs too much. It takes too much time. People are not interested.” In this paper, we advocate for an alternative viewpoint of the process of rehabilitation, one that can be implemented for low costs and has value within a community. We explain the process that occurred to secure, develop, and expand an endowed community-based program on Living Well with Hearing Loss based out of the University of Arizona with a vision of sustainability. Since its inception in 2009, the program has grown substantially. We describe the program’s early journey and underlying bases, outline preliminary outcomes, and provide suggestions for audiologists in clinical practice based on our experience to date.
