Evaluation of some Tests of Central Auditory Dysfunction

Abstract

A number of tests for lesions in the central auditory pathways have been proposed, based on the effect of stimulating one ear on a variety of auditory measures obtained from the other ear. In the present study, a variety of binaural effects were examined for their possible usefulness in a clinical context, and optimal test parameters defined

Key Words:

• Central auditory dysfunction
• Binaural interaction
• Intensity difference limen
• Békésy excursion size
• Brainstem lesions
