This study seeks to examine alterations in brain activity during an auditory task in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Study participants completed a word-listening task that was presented unilaterally in each ear as well as bilaterally. Comparison of three evaluation methods (clinical radiological read, clinical computer analysis, and full GLM analysis) was performed. Radiological score and clinical computer analysis yielded a high degree of concordance, and furthermore, clinical computer analysis and GLM analysis had significant correlations. This study demonstrates the reliability and reproducibility of the task for evaluation of auditory deficits in an mTBI population.
