“…In comparison with the study conducted by [17], our study results found less of a direct correlation between TBI or WI and poor performance on one or more diagnostic auditory processing test. In this study only one participant showed significant difficulty on behavioral tests and one other presented with difficulty on one behavioral test.…”

This brief clinical study was designed to investigate further the possible link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or whiplash injury (WI) with acquired auditory processing disorder (APD). Other studies have shown long standing effects of TBI and WI, and a study by Turgeon et al., examined the link between sport-induced concussion and APD. Four participants ages 18 to 30 years of age who self-reported a history of sport-related or motor vehicle accident head injuries participated in the following procedures: case history, behavioral testing, electrophysiological testing including auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and middle latency responses (MLR), and self-report questionnaires of post head and/or whiplash injury symptoms. The results of the testing were individually analyzed to see if results were consistent with a diagnosis of APD, or some evidence of a non-sensory deficit to the auditory system. The overall results of this study were also compared with the results of Turgeon et al., study. The results of the study shows that electrophysiological testing may be outside of normal limits even when behavioral testing does not support an APD diagnosis. Furthermore, the degree of reported symptoms and difficulties in the participants' case history does not always carry over to the behavioral and electrophysiological testing results.

“…After ACAT, it could be observed an improvement in the behavioral auditory processing evaluation, with an improvement or even adjustment in auditory abilities (Tables 1 to 4), which are commonly altered in individuals after TBI, as shown in some studies that performed auditory processing evaluation In this population [12][13][14] . The data found in the DCVT Test -Free Recall (Tables 2) demonstrated that the individual presented a greater number of right ear hits in the two moments after ACAT, that is, he showed an right ear advantage that he did not initially demonstrated, which is often associated to left hemispheric dominance for linguistic sounds in right-handed individuals 15 .…”

Treinamento auditivo acusticamente controlado em um indivíduo adulto após traumatismo cranioencefálico

Electrophysiological and behavioral assessment of auditory processing has been an important tool for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in individuals after traumatic brain injury. In this case report, the patient underwent electrophysiological and behavioral assessment of auditory processing pre and post acoustically controlled auditory training (ACAT) and six months after the intervention. The ACAT was organized in eight sessions, focusing on the training of auditory abilities of temporal ordering, auditory closure and figure-ground. Post evaluation ACAT showed better results considering the processes of encoding, organization, and non-verbal. Electrophysiological evaluation showed improved morphology and shorter latencies in auditory brainstem response and higher amplitude of long latency auditory evoked potential (P300). During the reassessment six months after of the ACAT, stability and improved behavioral and electrophysiological evaluation were observed. Acoustically controlled auditory training proved to be effective in developing and refining different auditory abilities as demonstrated in electrophysiological and behavioral assessments of the central auditory processing and the benefits were stable long term. Keywords: Hearing; Neuronal Plasticity; Rehabilitation; Brain Injuries RESUMO A avaliação eletrofisiológica e comportamental do processamento auditivo tem sido uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico e monitoramento terapêutico de indivíduos pós traumatismo cranioencefálico. No presente relato de caso o paciente foi submetido à avaliação eletrofisiológica e comportamental do processamento auditivo pré e pós treinamento auditivo acusticamente controlado (TAAC) e seis meses após a intervenção. O TAAC foi organizado em oito sessões, enfocando o treinamento das habilidades auditivas de ordenação temporal, fechamento auditivo e figura-fundo. Na avaliação pós TAAC foi observada melhora quanto aos processos gnósicos de codificação, organização e não verbal. Em relação à avaliação eletrofisiológica houve melhora na morfologia e na latência das ondas do potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico e na amplitude do componente potencial evocado auditivo de longa latência (P300). Na reavaliação após 6 meses do TACC foi verificada estabilidade e melhora da avaliação comportamental e eletrofisiológica. O treinamento auditivo acusticamente controlado mostrou-se eficaz ao desenvolver e refinar diferentes habilidades auditivas como demonstrado na avaliação eletrofisiológica e comportamental do processamento auditivo e os benefícios mostraram-se estáveis no longo prazo.

“…It is worrisome that no population estimates are available for the prevalence of central auditory dysfunction from blast exposure and few studies exist that relate central auditory dysfunction rates to TBI in the general population. There is evidence, however, that sports-related concussion (mild TBI) can be associated with abnormal scores on auditory processing tests [71], suggesting that auditory processing testing is appropriate anytime impaired brain function is suspected.…”

Abstract-Auditory system functions, from peripheral sensitivity to central processing capacities, are all at risk from a blast event. Accurate encoding of auditory patterns in time, frequency, and space are required for a clear understanding of speech and accurate localization of sound sources in environments with background noise, multiple sound sources, and/or reverberation. Further work is needed to refine the battery of clinical tests sensitive to the sorts of central auditory dysfunction observed in individuals with blast exposure. Treatment options include low-gain hearing aids, remote-microphone technology, and auditory-training regimens, but clinical evidence does not yet exist for recommending one or more of these options. As this population ages, the natural aging process and other potential brain injuries (such as stroke and blunt trauma) may combine with blast-related brain changes to produce a population for which the current clinical diagnostic and treatment tools may prove inadequate. It is important to maintain an updated understanding of the scope of the issues present in this population and to continue to identify those solutions that can provide measurable improvements in the lives of Veterans who have been exposed to high-intensity blasts during the course of their military service.

Auditory Processing After Sport-Related Concussions

Abstract: The pattern of results suggests that sport-related concussions can disrupt the neurological mechanisms implicated in several auditory processes, including monaural low-redundancy speech recognition, tone pattern recognition, and dichotic listening.
