Amusia Sensory

Sensory amusia is a condition where a person cannot perceive sounds, but is not deaf or hearing impaired. This condition can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, lack of sleep or certain medical conditions.

Symptoms of sensory amusia may include:

– A person cannot hear sounds that he usually hears.
– A person can hear sounds, but cannot identify them.
– The person may have difficulty identifying the source of the sound.

Treatment for sensory amusia may include medication, psychotherapy, and other treatments. However, in most cases, sensory amusia is a temporary condition and goes away on its own after the cause is eliminated.

Causes of sensory amusia include: stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, certain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairment.

Overall, sensory amusia can be a very distressing condition that can affect a person's quality of life. However, if this condition is properly treated and diagnosed, the quality of life of people suffering from sensory amusia can be significantly improved.



Amusia, or music deafness, is the inability to recognize and identify sounds as music, such as the piano and other instruments. This form of deafness is also known as amutism or silent deafness.[1] This is one type of sensory alalia (sensorimotor alalia), which is diagnosed according to the latest and more detailed definition developed by the International Dyspraxia Association. It is applicable to the analysis and assessment of communication deficits in children and adults with various communication disorders, including expressive language paralysis (aphasia) and sensorimotor allalia (mutism).
