Özet:

Auditory neuropathy is a hearing disorder characterized by the preservation of outer hair cell function despite the absence of auditory brainstem evoked responses. The exact site of the pathological lesion in auditory neuropathy hasn’t been demonstrated, yet. Auditory neuropathy in both adults and children may be seen with various levels of hearing loss. Therefore, ENT doctors should keep in mind the clinical features of this disease in order not to overlook the disease. Because underdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of the disease may worsen hearing loss and also may negatively effect the psychosocial development of the patient. In this case, we presented a 17 years old patient with auditory neuropathy. We didn’t implement ear aid, but we only suggested auditory rehabilitation. We aimed to review the clinical features, audiometric findings, psychopathologic and treatment approaches to patients with auditory neuropathy
