Relevance – Further work must refine battery of clinical tests sensitive to central auditory dysfunction observed in individuals with blast exposure. – Treatments include low-gain hearing aids, remote- microphone technology, and auditory-training regimens, but clinical evidence does not yet exist for recommending one or more of these options.

Other populations with central auditory impairments would also benefit if currently available tests and techniques were experimentally validated and new approaches were developed.
