A case of central auditory disorder due to bilateral temporal hemorrhage in a 62-year-old woman is reported. Bilateral subcortical lesions were demonstrated by CT scan. Evoked response brainstem auditory pathways were intact. Initial pure tone audiometry showed profound sensorineural hearing loss, which persisted, with difficulty in recognizing speech sounds and music, after 7 months.
