Epilepsy surgeries that remove or disconnect the temporal lobe, including hemispheric procedures, will result in central auditory processing disorders for the child. This can impact how they hear conversations in noisy environments, learn to read, and cross the street.
We are amplifying the voice of our community to audiologists from around the world by presenting research on Central Auditory Processing After Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery.
