Central auditory evaluation in multiple sclerosis: case report.
Herein, we report a case of multiple sclerosis in which peripheral and central hearing, were evaluated through early (brainstem), middle and late auditory evoked potentials before and after corticosteroid therapy. Auditory evaluation revealed better performance on all post-treatment tests. In this case, central auditory function tests (behavioral and electrophysiological) identified the location of the impairment (brainstem), which was in agreement with the patient complaint. The speech in noise test and brainstem auditory evoked potentials are definitely appropriate in confirming brainstem lesions.
