Abstract:Hypothesis
Unilateral congenital conductive hearing impairment in ear canal atresia leads to atrophy of the gray matter of the contralateral primary auditory cortex or changes in asymmetry pattern if left untreated in childhood.
Background
Unilateral ear canal atresia with associated severe conductive hearing loss results in deteriorated sound localization and difficulties in understanding of speech in a noisy environment. Cortical atrophy in the Heschl… Show more
