 Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is a hearing impairment in which sound enters the inner ear normally, but the transmission of signals from the inner ear to the brain is impaired. This means that while a person's cochlea (the part of the inner ear involved in hearing) may function well, the neural pathways that relay auditory information to the brain may not process these sounds correctly.
