“…These studies produced some evidence that therapy can improve discrimination skills, with four reporting gains on minimal pair tasks (Hessler & Stadie, 2008;Morris et al, 1996;Tessier et al, 2007;Grayson et al, 1997). However, in two of the studies associated gains in auditory comprehension were either not reported (Hessler & Stadie, 2008) or absent (Morris et al, 1996).…”

“…Most previous studies of comprehension therapy confined their evaluations to clinical tests, so neglected this question (see Grayson et al, 1997;Morris et al, 1996;Francis, Riddoch & Humphreys, 2001). Tessier et al (2007) administered a communication abilities rating measure, with the finding that this improved post therapy. The current study employed a novel telephone message task that attempted to evaluate word discrimination in a simulated 'real life' context.…”

“…Such cues were introduced or withdrawn in response to success levels in therapy. One of the studies (Tessier et al, 2007) additionally used an errorless format in the hope that this would consolidate listening skills. The participant in this study also varied from the others in that he had general auditory agnosia, but not aphasia.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Method: The study employed a repeated measures design. Eight participants received 12 sessions each of phonological and semantic-phonological therapy. Both programmes used minimal pair judgement tasks, but the latter embedded such tasks within a meaningful context, so encouraged the strategic use of semantic information (semantic bootstrapping). Experimental measures of auditory discrimination and comprehension were administered twice before therapy, once after each programme, and again six weeks later. Permanent repository linkThe telephone message task was also administered at each time point. Test data were subjected to both group and individual analyses. Records of progress during therapy (i.e changes in support needed to carry out therapy tasks) were completed during treatment and analysed across the group.Results: Group analyses showed no significant changes in tests of word and nonword discrimination as a result of therapy. One comprehension task improved following therapy, but two did not. There was also no indication that therapy improved the discrimination of treated words, as assessed by a priming task. The facilitation scores indicated that participants needed less support during tasks as therapy progressed, possibly as a result of improved listening. There was a significant effect of time on the telephone message task. Across all tasks there were few individual gains.

“…Implementation of language-related training activities 9 with a high cognitive and linguistic load 10 or even simply listening to music or audiotapes 11 after stroke may lead to broad functional improvements in communication, but improvements may not generalize to untrained auditory stimuli or cognitive tasks. 12,13 Moreover, everyday life communication is more demanding than laboratory tests. 14 Thus, as well as identifying auditory processing deficits after stroke, there is a need to assess the patientreported difficulties in a range of everyday life situations, including persistent nonspeech-based difficulties with recognition and localization of sounds.…”

Background and Purpose-Auditory functional limitations experienced by patients after stroke of the central auditory pathways remain underinvestigated. Purpose-To measure patient-reported hearing difficulties in everyday life in nonaphasic patients with stroke of the auditory brain versus normal control subjects. To examine how hearing difficulties correlate with auditory tests and site of lesion in individual cases. Methods-We recruited 21 individuals with auditory brain stroke (excluding those with aphasia) diagnosed on the basis of a brain MRI conducted 1 to 2 weeks after the stroke and assessed in the chronic stage of stroke. Twenty-three controls matched for age and hearing were also recruited. All subjects completed the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability (consisting of subscales of sound detection, recognition, localization, speech in quiet, speech in noise) and underwent baseline audiometry and central auditory processing tests (dichotic digits, frequency and duration patterns, gaps in noise). Results-Sound recognition and localization subscores of the inventory were significantly worse in case subjects versus control subjects, with severe and significant functional limitation (z score Ͼ3) reported by 9 out of 21 case subjects. None of the inventory subscales correlated with audiometric thresholds, but localization and recognition subscales showed a moderate to strong correlation with dichotic digits (left ear) and pattern tests.

Purpose of Review To investigate the neurofunctional correlates of pure auditory agnosia and its varieties (global, verbal, and nonverbal), based on 116 anatomoclinical reports published between 1893 and 2022, with emphasis on hemispheric lateralization, intrahemispheric lesion site, underlying cognitive impairments. Recent Findings Pure auditory agnosia is rare, and observations accumulate slowly. Recent patient reports and neuroimaging studies on neurotypical subjects offer insights into the putative mechanisms underlying auditory agnosia, while challenging traditional accounts. Summary Global auditory agnosia frequently results from bilateral temporal damage. Verbal auditory agnosia strictly correlates with language-dominant hemisphere lesions. Damage involves the auditory pathways, but the critical lesion site is unclear. Both the auditory cortex and associative areas are reasonable candidates, but cases resulting from brainstem damage are on record. The hemispheric correlates of nonverbal auditory input disorders are less clear. They correlate with unilateral damage to either hemisphere, but evidence is scarce. Based on published cases, pure auditory agnosias are neurologically and functionally heterogeneous. Phenotypes are influenced by co-occurring cognitive impairments. Future studies should start from these facts and integrate patient data and studies in neurotypical individuals.
