Our @entity1 was first diagnosed with @entity2167 following his second @entity64 ( @entity64 ) in 1975 when he was 37 years old. Comprehensive follow-up examinations of auditory function were periodically conducted until his @entity944 15 years later. His brain was studied postmortem for neuropathology. Initial pure-tone audiometry revealed moderate @entity1274 in the @entity2169 and mild @entity1274 in the @entity2169 . However, repeated pure-tone audiometry revealed that thresholds became progressively poorer over time, bilaterally. Speech audiometry of both ears consistently revealed that the @entity1 was unable to discriminate any monosyllabic words (i.e. speech intelligibility scores were 0%, bilaterally). In general, speech and hearing tests demonstrated that he could not comprehend spoken words, but could comprehend written commands and gestures. Postmortem neuropathological study of the left hemisphere revealed @entity528 of the superior temporal gyrus, including Heschl's gyrus, and total @entity5219 of the medial geniculate body. In the right hemisphere, examination revealed subcortical @entity39 , @entity5219 in the centre of the superior temporal gyrus and partial @entity5219 of the medial geniculate body. The pathological examination supports clinical results in which the @entity1 's imperception of speech sounds, music and environmental sounds could be caused by progressive degeneration of bilateral medial geniculate bodies.
