Abstract

This article is concerned with pathologies of the human auditory system beyond the cochlea. Auditory processing necessarily involves the organization of information with temporal, spectral, and spatial components into a form that can be perceived, attended, recognized, and retained. Disorders of each of these processes can occur together or in isolation. We begin by outlining those disorders that are inherent to the auditory system, employing the approach of systematically ascending the auditory pathway. Later, we discuss more generalized cognitive disorders that give rise to auditory symptoms.
