N2  - OBJECTIVE:: The aim of the study is to investigate whether sport-related concussions disrupt auditory processes. DESIGN:: Sixteen university athletes participated in the study: eight had one or more sport-related concussions and eight never experienced a concussion. The Frequency Pattern Sequence test, the Duration Pattern Sequence test, the Synthetic Sentence Identification test, and the Staggered Spondaic Word test were used to assess auditory processing. RESULTS:: All nonconcussed athletes have normal auditory processing. In contrast, more than half of the concussed athletes had deficits for one or more of the auditory processing tests. CONCLUSIONS:: The pattern of results suggests that sport-related concussions can disrupt the neurological mechanisms implicated in several auditory processes, including monaural low-redundancy speech recognition, tone pattern recognition, and dichotic listening.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
