Within audiology, there is general agreement that mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) can result in long-term auditory processing deficits. However, this agreement is not shared across disciplines. In this paper, recent studies on the effects of MTBI on auditory function are reviewed in the context of competing opinions on the interpretation of neurosensory deficits after MTBI. Three hypotheses are presented that explain auditory test results as they relate to post-traumatic stress disorder, subtle cognitive deficits resulting from MTBI, and physiological damage to temporal processing in the auditory system.

Sensorineural hearing loss is typically defined by threshold elevation, often resulting from dysfunction of cochlear outer hair cells. Damage can occur as a result of ageing and noise exposure, reducing auditory sensitivity, and allowing detection using pure tone audiometry, the cornerstone of audiological testing. Yet the audiogram is limited in its ability to predict perceptual performance, especially for speech perception in noise. The deficits reported in some audiometrically normal listeners provide stark examples of this insensitivity. Recent research in animals has revealed that widespread loss of auditory nerve fibers can take place without hair cell loss or threshold elevation, as a result of either noise exposure or ageing. This pattern of damage may manifest as “hidden hearing loss” in humans, leading to perceptual deficits without affecting the audiogram. A great deal of interest is currently focused on this condition and its putative effects, which are expected to impact listening in complex ...

Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) refers to a deficit in the neural processing of auditory stimuli that can affect listening, language, and learning. Because CAPD manifests behavioral symptoms similar to those exhibited by listeners with peripheral hearing loss, it is important that the audiologist be prepared to “go beyond the 8th nerve” in the assessment process to evaluate central auditory skill sets and provide intervention as needed. Differential diagnosis of these disorders is accomplished using behavioral and electrophysiological tests that examine the array of auditory skills and integrity of the system from brainstem through the cortex. Test results are used to develop effective deficit-specific intervention plans designed to reduce/resolve the deficit and minimize the disorder's affect on the listener's life.

Hearing loss can be attributed to a variety of inherited and environmental noises (medications, infections, etc.). In recent decades, our improved understanding of genetics, molecular biology, and ...

There are an increasing number of large-scale studies on the association between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hearing loss; these studies include both HIV-infected adults from horizontal disease transmission to HIV-infected children from vertical disease transmission in utero. With advances in HIV treatment approaches, this disease has become a chronic health condition rather than a terminal health condition. Based on recent data in this area, mechanisms within the auditory system are at risk based on HIV status. HIV-infected children have poorer hearing compared to perinatally exposed to HIV, but uninfected children. HIV-infected children also have poorer hearing compared to HIV-unexposed, uninfected children. HIV-infected adults also have poorer hearing compared with HIV-uninfected adults. Individuals with greater HIV disease severity had poorer hearing than HIV-infected individuals with lesser HIV disease severity. Auditory brainstem response data demonstrate poor waveform morphology, lower p...

To characterize these functional changes in a clinical population, electrophysiological measures of auditory brainstem and cortical function can be used to index neural markers of aging and ARHL along the auditory pathway. This paper reviews a selection of studies in which electrophysiological techniques from the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) were used to identify key changes in neural processing associated with advancing age and related perceptual deficits. Collectively, these results provide objective evidence for declines in temporal and spectral processing in the auditory periphery and central pathway with increasing age independent of hearing loss. Further research is needed to determine how such evidence-based measures might be altered through different forms of rehabilitative intervention.

Even with a clear understanding, the process of identifying the source for the patient’s concern can be dynamic, time-consuming, and at times less than a perfect science. A thorough evaluation often requires not only multiple tests, but often involves multiple disciplines. The advantages and disadvantages of different models of team-based approaches need to be understood and the appropriate approach needs to be applied appropriately. References Baldwin, D. (1994).
