Central deafness associated with a midbrain lesion.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Albeit limited, research suggests that students pursuing careers in health care receive limited training on the provision of services for people with hearing loss. As the incidence of hearing loss continues to increase among Americans, it is critical that medical professionals understand how hearing loss amo...
