Key Points

This research aims to investigate changes in auditory white matter tracts due to unilateral ear canal atresia (UCA).
Analyzed white matter tracts in auditory pathways using imaging techniques.
Conducted experiments involving animal models, specifically ferrets, with induced UCA.
Compared findings to previous studies on auditory processing and brain structure.
Identified significant asymmetry in the auditory white matter tracts of subjects with UCA.
Confirmed alterations in neural pathways as a response to asymmetric hearing, aligned with earlier research.

Abstract

The asymmetry found in UCA indicates alterations of auditory white matter tracts as a response to asymmetric hearing, partly confirming previous findings in experiments on ferrets.
