A case is reported in which there was clinical evidence of complete central deafness without any associated aphasic disorder. A.C.T. scan revealed the presence of bilateral temporal lesions from two arterial ischemic accidents that occurred with an interval of twelve years between them. The lesions were most probably affecting the auditive radiations more than the transverse gyri of Heschl.
