Sound localization: value in localizing lesions of the auditory pathway.

Reports in the literature suggest that patients with otosclerosis, neural lesions such as acoustic neuroma, pontine lesions, and temporal lobe lesions may show abnormal sound localization ability. In the present experiment, 15 normal subjects and 22 patients with various auditory pathway lesions had sound localization testing using special apparatus. The results confirmed that patients with otosclerosis were unable to localize low frequency sounds. Those with temporal lobe lesions made judgments not significantly different from normal subjects. Patients with unilateral sensorineural deafness made errors localizing high frequency sounds. Those with acoustic neuromas made greater errors than those without, but the difference between these two groups just failed to reach statistical significance. The number of cases was however small, and further studies are in progress to attempt to define numerical criteria to assist clinical decisions with regard to the selection of patients for invasive investigations such as oil cisternogram.[1]
