This case can be placed in a neurologic classification. The patient is a child with learning disability in school activities. He was first referred to an audiological clinic because of a central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). His mother has noticed several hearing problems and this led us to the evaluations for his central auditory processing disorder. He has problems in hearing speech in noise and speech processing and need his friends repeat words during communication. no vestibular disorder was noticed nor any localization problem. The child has a good progress in school and only suffered problems in reading tasks. Intelligence quotient(IQ) was also normal.

Objective: OAE an audiologic study for diagnosis of exteracochlear auditory neuropathy.
Method & Material: Immitance audiometry, OAE and ABR and rehabilitation Intervention was performed for 3 children suffered from kernictrus.
Conclusion: 1) OAE in the from of screening, distorted product and transient evoked-otoacoustic emission has to be added to our audiology test battery. 2) OAE studies have their own merit when we are clinically involved with the diagnosis of especial clinical entities like neonatal hypoxia, kernicterus, multiple sclerosis, meningitides and meningoencephalitis. 3) Case selection for cochlear implantation needs a knowledge of patients' OAE results. 4) In the case of intracerebral auditory neuropathy the need for other rehabilitative measures will be better understood.
