Auditory functions of 32 Israeli soldiers with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were evaluated and compared with those of 32 matched controls without PTSD. The evaluation included peripheral auditory functions, tolerance to noise, and central auditory informational functions. Tolerance of intense auditory stimuli by PTSD patients was similar to that of controls. Significant differences were found between left and right ear central auditory functions in a subgroup of 13 PTSD subjects, but neither in other PTSD patients nor in controls. These findings are discussed in the light of previous research concerning abnormal responses to auditory stimulus in PTSD, hemispheric disconnection, alexithymia, and psychosomatic disorders.
对32名患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的以色列士兵的听觉功能进行了评估，并与32名匹配的无PTSD的对照组士兵进行了比较。评估包括外周听觉功能、噪声耐受性和中枢听觉信息功能。PTSD患者对强烈听觉刺激的耐受性与对照组相似。在13名PTSD受试者的亚组中，发现左右耳中枢听觉功能存在显著差异，但在其他PTSD患者或对照组中均未发现。根据先前关于PTSD中对听觉刺激的异常反应、半球分离、述情障碍和心身疾病的研究，对这些发现进行了讨论。
