Unilateral auditory neuropathy: case study.

This article reports on an 11-year-old boy who was diagnosed with unilateral auditory neuropathy. After failing his annual medical and school hearing screenings, he was referred for audiologic testing, which identified a profound sensorineural hearing loss in his left ear that has remained stable for the past 3 1/2 years. Subsequently, otoacoustic emissions revealed findings that were consistent with an auditory neuropathy.
