Abstract
Introduction: This case report describes the potential benefits of auditory training and management for acquired central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), suggesting neuroplasticity and rehabilitation potential in a 57-year-old stroke patient. Methods: The patient sustained two temporoparietal ischemic strokes on either side two years apart. The first left-sided stroke presented with transient altered processing of speech in noise, followed by spontaneous resolution. The second right-sided insult resulted in left-sided hemiparesis, recurrent listening difficulties, and amusia (altered perception of music). Baseline audiological tests and specialized tests for CAPD were conducted. Results: The tests showed profound auditory processing difficulties in the context of only mild presbycusis. Following a course of multifaceted auditory management, the test results showed improved auditory processing skills, in line with the patient's report of better listening. Discussion: The findings supported the hypothesis of neuroplasticity in a middle-aged patient following multifaceted auditory management for CAPD secondary to strokes. This case study also highlights that sudden-onset auditory symptoms can be the only presenting features of a cerebrovascular insult.
