Abstract

This article overviews some selected central auditory test procedures as well as some popular issues that surround them. Both behavioral and electrophysiologic central auditory tests are discussed in reference to their clinical value as judged by their sensitivity, specificity, administration time, and reliability. Also discussed are diagnostic trends that are noted on behavioral and electrophysiologic procedures. Relationships are drawn between children with auditory processing deficits associated with learning problems and individuals with neurological lesions of the central auditory nervous system.

[Unilateral auditory neuropathy. A rare differential diagnosis of unilateral deafness].

Auditory neuropathy presents with normal otoacoustic emissions combined with pathological findings in brainstem evoked response audiometry. Normally, the auditory neuropathy is bilateral. We report about a 9 year old child where we could diagnose a unilateral deafness in spite of regular TEOAE and DPOAE. No reproducible biosignals were seen when the right ear was stimulated with alternating click stimuli at a level of 80 dB. On the left side, the latency of the potentials was normal. A cranial MRI showed normal anatomy. In order to determine a unilateral deafness, objective tests (e.g., OAE, BERA) and subjective tests should be used.
