Cаse study: The pаtient wаs 71 years оf age at the time оf evaluatiоn. Two days prior to admission to the hospital, the patient had a severe right-sided headache. The headache continued until morning of the third day, when the patient awoke with left hemiparesis, dysarthria, and a left facial droop. The patient was admitted and a diagnosis of a right cerebrovascular accident was rendered. The patient, who had a long-standing hearing loss, complained of increased hearing difficulty and was seen for audiological evaluation while in the hospital. Radiological findings (CT) done at the time of admission were normal; however, 5 days later a second CT scan showed a large area of edema in the anterior and middle aspect of the right internal capsule and surrounding region (as shown in Figure 1) which was consistent with stroke. Figure 2 shows the audiogram and speech recognition scores in this case. Results of central auditory tests are shown in Figure 3, where DR - dichotic rhyme, LPFS - low pass filtered speech, DD - dichotic digit, Comp Speech - compressed speech test, D.Patt. -duration pattern & FP - frequency patterns. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 What is the diagnosis/interpretation? What are your recommendations for hearing rehabilitation/intervention in this case based on the information you have so far?
