Central auditory disorders caused by age-related changes in peripheral hearing are often associated with age-related cerebrovascular accidents and cognitive impairment. The study compared the state of spatial and speech hearing in patients with chronic sensorineural hearing loss of the first degree and central auditory disorders, who had an acute cerebrovascular accident in their anamnesis and without it. Thirty elderly and senile patients were examined using a dichotic number test, a test of alternating binaural speech, a test of intelligibility of heterosyllabic words in silence and in noise, and the SHQ spatial hearing questionnaire. The speech test scores in the two groups of patients were close and did not differ significantly. The use of SHQ revealed significant differences in the examined groups. Correlations between SHQ and speech test scores were found; a strong relationship between speech and spatial hearing was found in the group with a history of acute cerebrovascular accident.

Key words: spatial hearing, SHQ spatial hearing questionnaire, presbycusis, central auditory disorders, acute cerebrovascular accidents
