Temporal Lobe Problems
Temporal lobe lesions can lead to dyslexia.
Receptive aphasia: can’t receive or translate speech meaning
Word deafness: words are only noise
Temporal lobe lesions can also lead to deafness. The ears are fine, but the wires that translate input as sound are damaged. (Possibly what happened to Helen Keller).
