Abstract

In order to characterise the extensive effects of a variety of health disorders on people, the International Classification of Functioning Disability and health (ICF) is frequently used in the disability and health sectors. The biopsychosocial model can be employed to explain how an individual interacts with their body’s structure, functions and involvement in daily activities. The ICF is also a way to facilitate patient centred care. By applying ICF in audiology, healthcare professionals can interact with one another in both clinical and research contexts. This research mainly focuses on ICF’s relevance and application to audiology and provides examples of how it should be used clinically to evaluate and treat adults with hearing loss.
