Abstract
This paper reports on the development of a prototype of an online rehabilitation support service (“eRehabilitation”). This service will provide long-term support to new users of hearing devices as they undergo the process of aural rehabilitation. The information service will be tailored to the situational and individual needs of patients. The development fits closely with the development of self-screening tests for hearing impairment that can be conducted over the Internet. Aural rehabilitation pathways can vary between European countries, not only in terms of language, but also in terms of procedures and regulations. This makes localization of such services a challenging task.
