The current study was done to assess the central auditory processing in individuals with Takayasu's Syndrome. The Takayasu Syndrome is a rare disease, hence a case series was conducted with consecutive sampling. In this study, five patients diagnosed with Takayasu's syndrome were evaluated on the central auditory processing tests. The tests were administered using standard operating protocols. It was observed that the score on the dichotic digit test was drastically reduced suggesting difficulty in auditory integration skills in all the participants. There was an observed difficulty in speech perception in noise for all the participants indicating abnormal auditory closure ability. It was concluded that the reduced blood supply to the cortex would have caused a reduction in auditory skills. The current attempts to document the central processing disorder in a rare syndrome.

本研究旨在评估大动脉炎患者的中枢听觉处理能力。大动脉炎是一种罕见疾病，因此采用连续抽样进行了病例系列研究。在本研究中，对5例诊断为大动脉炎的患者进行了中枢听觉处理测试。测试按照标准操作流程进行。观察到所有参与者的双耳分听数字测试得分大幅降低，表明听觉整合技能存在困难。所有参与者在噪声环境中的言语感知均存在困难，表明听觉闭合能力异常。得出的结论是，大脑皮层血液供应减少会导致听觉技能下降。本研究首次尝试记录一种罕见综合征中的中枢处理障碍。
