Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a spectrum of conditions marked by diminished auditory function and believed to be caused by the impaired neural transmission of auditory stimulation in the setting of functional outer hair cells. There are reports of “spontaneously resolving” or “transient” ANSD (transient auditory neuropathy [TAN]) in the literature. In this case report of TAN, we demonstrate the resurgence of the auditory brainstem response waveform morphology over a 3-year period to reveal electrophysiological testing consistent with the patient's functional hearing level by age 3 years.

The findings herein were presented in poster format at the Society for Ear, Nose and Throat Advances in Children (SENTAC) 44th annual meeting in Phoenix, AZ, December 2–4, 2021.
