Auditory neuropathy/auditory dyssynchrony is a hearing disorder characterized by impairment of neural synchrony in the presence of a normal cochlear outer hair cell function. Clinical findings are normal hearing or sensorineural hearing loss, absent/abnormal auditory brainstem response, normal otoacoustic emissions, normal cochlear microphonics, and poor speech perception abilities that are disproportionate to the hearing sensitivity.
