The numerous tests applicable to the assessment of central deafness are briefly reviewed. It is likely that the more specific verbal and non-verbal tests, which assess more complex auditory function, will prove to be most useful in the assessment of these problems. We believe that the concept of a spectrum of clinical-anatomical types of central deafness is useful, namely, cortical, brainstem and more peripheral forms; a detailed study of an example of a predominantly brainstem type of central deafness is presented. An interdisciplinary approach which applies the methods of the audiologist, otolaryngologist, and neurologist to these patients is required to localize the site of the lesion, to detect and describe the deafness and to establish its etiology.
本文简要回顾了适用于评估中枢性聋的众多测试。那些评估更复杂听觉功能的更具特异性的言语和非言语测试，可能在评估这些问题时最为有用。我们认为，中枢性聋的临床 - 解剖学类型谱的概念是有用的，即皮质型、脑干型和更外周型；文中展示了对一例主要为脑干型中枢性聋的详细研究。需要一种跨学科方法，将听力学家、耳鼻喉科医生和神经科医生的方法应用于这些患者，以定位病变部位、检测和描述耳聋情况并确定其病因。
