Abstract

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) presents a formidable diagnostic challenge in audiology due to its intricate interplay between peripheral and central auditory processing. ANSD is a rare audiological condition characterized by a discrepancy between otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). While OAEs are often preserved, ABRs may show minimal or absent responses, signifying impaired neural transmission despite intact cochlear function. This disorder spans a broad spectrum of presentations, contributing to the diagnostic complexity.
