Abstract: Article presents current research on dual
sensory impairment (DSI), a term that describes co-existing auditory and
visual sensory deficits, in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Current
research investigating DSI in both the active duty and veteran
populations, along with research pertinent to auditory and visual
medical professionals that can be generalized to these patient groups,
is presented. Important issues related to diagnosing these sensory
deficits in the clinic are discussed. Due to the heterogenous nature of
TBI lesions, an important challenge that the clinician faces is ruling
out the influence of multiple sensory deficits and/or the influence of
cognitive processes on diagnosis and rehabilitation of the patient.
Treatment options for DSI involve remediation of the sensory deficits
via existing sensory aids or training exercises. Finally, rehabilitation
factors are considered so that clinicians can better understand the
needs of the average veteran with DSI.
