Imagine you are working with a patient who complains about understanding verbal and nonverbal sounds. During an assessment, you play various environmental sounds such as a ringing phone, a car horn, and running water. Despite having normal hearing ability, the patient is unable to recognize or identify any of these sounds. What disorder might be described in this scenario?

Describe the Place Principle of Frequency Perception at the level of CANS. 

Imagine assessing a patient who has developed acquired central deafness following a severe head injury. Despite having intact outer and middle ear function, the patient struggles to understand speech and respond to auditory cues. 1) Briefly explain the concept of acquired central deafness. 2) What structures or pathways in auditory system might be affected? 3) What diagnostic test is most likely to show abnormal results for this patient?

Case #1 1) Identify the core disorder(s) (deficit type) suggested by these findings? Elaborate on your rationale for reaching this conclusion. 2) What intervention or management strategy would be most effective for addressing this/these disorders? NOTE: if the rationale does not align with the diagnosis, no points will be awarded.
