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. In this article, the problem of dual hearing and vision loss
