      La perte auditive est liée à diverses étiologies : vieillissement de l'oreille interne, traumatisme sonore, prise de médicaments ototoxiques, maladies... Les personnes atteintes de ces troubles se trouvent subitement ou progressivement privées d'informations auditives suffisantes pour communiquer efficacement. En cas de déficiences auditives profondes, les prothèses cochléaires permettent de pallier en partie les difficultés de communication orale. En effet, une rééducation de la perception auditive et de la compréhension orale est nécessaire, car il ne suffit pas d'entendre pour comprendre. Ainsi, cet ouvrage propose, sous forme de fiches, 625 exercices qui portent sur la perception, la différenciation, et l'identification des voyelles, consonnes et semi-consonnes. Chaque fiche comporte un exercice de lecture labiale suivi d'exercices de perception auditive, portant sur des mots ou des phrases et stimulant la boucle audio-phonatoire. Pour cette 2e édition, 28 nouvelles fiches d'exercices sur l'analyse auditive dite globale ont été ajoutées : analyse phonologique, sémantique, syntaxique et compréhension de textes. Ce support d'exercices d'entraînement est également complété par une réflexion sur les attitudes facilitatrices à une meilleure compréhension au quotidien. Ce manuel est un outil indispensable à l’orthophoniste qui y puisera les exercices adaptés à chaque étape de la rééducation ainsi qu'une grille d'analyse de l'évolution des compétences du patient.
