Clinical reports of hearing loss, tinnitus, and auditory hallucinations, as well as empirical studies of auditory phenomena, have sparked interest in the auditory effects of chronic alcoholism. The auditory system, owing to its multi-synaptic course through the central nervous system and to the many techniques available for diagnostic evaluation, affords a special opportunity for examination of transmission breakdown in alcoholics. The present paper reviews several different approaches to the study of disrupted hearing: histologic evidence: threshold measurement, evoked potential data; acoustic reflex studies; and behavioral central auditory evaluation. The review explores effects attributed to both peripheral and central loci, and outlines the ramifications for research and treatment.
听力损失、耳鸣及幻听的临床报告，以及对听觉现象的实证研究，引发了人们对慢性酒精中毒听觉效应的兴趣。听觉系统由于其在中枢神经系统中的多突触路径以及多种可用于诊断评估的技术，为检查酗酒者的神经传导障碍提供了特殊机会。本文综述了几种研究听力受损的不同方法：组织学证据、阈值测量、诱发电位数据、听觉反射研究以及行为中枢听觉评估。该综述探讨了外周和中枢部位的相关影响，并概述了对研究和治疗的影响。
