Abstract

Challenges for auditory fMRI include the intense scanner acoustic sound and the effects of the magnetic field on sound delivery equipment and on the electronic hearing devices critical to the study of individuals with hearing impairment. Despite these difficulties, a body of neuroimaging studies in humans provides evidence for plasticity in the central auditory system and is therefore informative in the clinical context. This chapter presents several clinical applications of fMRI that investigate the processing of nonlinguistic and linguistic sound features. These include studies of the functional reorganization of the central auditory system as a consequence of adaptation to hearing loss and its remediation through amplification and the assessment of candidature for cochlear implantation. While the chapter illustrates opportunities for auditory fMRI to supplement the clinical decision-making process, it also highlights specific areas where there is a current lack of understanding and makes recommendations for future clinical research.
