Definition
English
:
Hearing loss
due to
disease
of the
AUDITORY PATHWAYS
(in the
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
) which originate in the COCHLEAR NUCLEI of the PONS and then ascend bilaterally to the
MIDBRAIN
, the
THALAMUS
, and then the
AUDITORY CORTEX
in the
TEMPORAL LOBE
. Bilateral lesions of the
auditory pathways
are usually required to cause central
hearing loss
. Cortical
deafness
refers to loss of
hearing
due to bilateral
auditory cortex
lesions. Unilateral
BRAIN STEM
lesions involving the cochlear nuclei may result in
unilateral hearing loss.
