Dual Sensory Loss: Overview of Problems, Visual Assessment, and Rehabilitation [PDF]
Trends in Amplification, 2007 This article provides an overview of some of the problems and possible solutions surrounding the neglected issue of combined vision and hearing deficits. The subject is treated by considering each subpopulation, ranging from those who have no residual vision or hearing to those with mild coexisting vision and hearing losses.

Effect of Dual Sensory Loss on Auditory Localization: Implications for Intervention [PDF]
Trends in Amplification, 2007 Our sensory systems are remarkable in several respects. They are extremely sensitive, they each perform more than one function, and they interact in a complementary way, thereby providing a high degree of redundancy that is particularly helpful should one or more sensory systems be impaired.
