Rapid Triage of Auditory Peripheral and Central Phenotypes Using a Brief but Rich Diagnostic Battery

Abstract

Hearing tests are an important part of assessing a persons health, whether they are service members being treated after noise damage, veterans having difficulties with conversations, or civilians. Hearing problems are associated with communicative, social, and cognitive difficulties. Despite the utility of current hearing tests, they have three connected problems. First, they are too simple and only provide information about significant losses in hearing sensitivity. Second, the testing focus on hearing sensitivity largely ignores any damage or compensation in brain regions that are responsible for making sense of sounds. Our proposal aims to create a rich assessment of hearing, and the brain regions involved in hearing, in as short a time as possible.
