Summary
Severe hearing loss in two patients was linked to bilateral brain lesions. Damage to white matter near the putamen, specifically its ventral and lateral aspects, was critical for determining hearing loss severity.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Audiology
- Neurology
Background:
- Bilateral cerebral lesions can cause severe, persistent hearing loss.
- Understanding the precise anatomical location of these lesions is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
