Abstract

The effectiveness of auditory, speech, and language therapy for aided or cochlear-implanted adults remains little studied. Our systematic review provides an overview of the publications in this field between 2005 and 2019. A search equation was applied to four databases, selected for their complementary areas in the humanities, biomedical and rehabilitation sciences (CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Pubmed). Thirteen studies out of the initial 1292 were analyzed with a grid based on the PRISMA (2015) and ANAES (2000) methods and adapted by the authors to the field of readaptation. Results show some interesting points: first, most of the studies conclude that their rehabilitation program is effective. Then, we note that the effectiveness of auditory training is over-studied compared to the lip-reading training effectiveness. In addition, we note a great heterogeneity in the methodology of the studies as well as biases that limit their reliability. However, these studies may allow professionals to orient their clinical practices in accordance with the principles of Evidence-Based Practice. It is therefore essential to encourage more research showing the effectiveness of the whole axis of hearing rehabilitation addressed to hearing-impaired adults.
