Gaeta’s presentation will focus on aural rehabilitation, a range of services and strategies designed to help people with hearing loss improve communication and daily functioning. Gaeta’s research centers on aural rehabilitation for older adults and on culturally and linguistically responsive hearing‑healthcare practices. Her work includes projects on cognitive screening, health literacy, and practical communication strategies that support individuals with hearing loss and their families.
