|August 1, 1993
Summary
This case report highlights auditory processing deficits in an 18-year-old woman with abnormal auditory brain stem response (ABR) but normal hearing. Findings suggest auditory brain stem dysfunction impacting speech discrimination.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Audiology
- Speech and Hearing Sciences
Background:
- Auditory processing deficits can occur despite normal peripheral hearing.
- Auditory brain stem response (ABR) abnormalities with preserved hearing suggest central auditory pathway dysfunction.
- Understanding specific auditory deficits is crucial for clinical management.
