Abstract:
After viral encephalitis a 40-year-old man showed both central auditory deficit and severe cognitive deficits. The asymmetric central auditory deficit was revealed by speech audiometry. The effect could be explained neither by peripheral sensitivity loss nor by cognitive status. Results highlight the separability of central auditory and cognitive deficits. Implications for the elderly are discussed.
