TL;DR
The rarity of the condition, its subcortical origin and good prognosis are stressed, as well as the fact that complete recovery from total deafness was seen following stages of auditory agnosia and pure word deafness.
Abstract
Cortical deafness in a patient with multiple sclerosis is reported. Complete recovery from total deafness was seen following stages of auditory agnosia and pure word deafness. The otological and neurophysiological studies suggested lesions in subcortical white matter. This report stresses the rarity of the condition, its subcortical origin and good prognosis.

Investigation of short-latency auditory evoked responses suggested that waves I-VII largely reflect activity at the following levels of the auditory pathway: acoustic nerve, pontomedullary junction, caudal pons, rostral pons or midbrain, and thalamus or auditory radiation.

Tachyeardia being a neurosis, it is, like other neuroses, commonly recovered from, and the condition may persist for years, and recovery may be complete, or relapses may take place from time to time.
