Reclaim Auditory Comprehension With Treatment and Therapy For Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

With intact repetition and fluent speech, transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA) is marked by reduced auditory comprehension. TSA differentiates from various receptive aphasias and agnosias, including Wernicke's type of aphasia and pure word deafness, by rarely repeating words. For early speech signal decoding, either repetition and auditory comprehending depend on normal phonological processing.

It is essential for patients to begin speech therapy as soon as feasible since the sooner they begin doing so, the more likely it becomes that they will reclaim their capacity to understand language.

Transcortical Sensory Aphasia Management

Treatment for Transcortical Sensory Aphasia varies and will depend upon the evaluation of speech pathologists. This treatment comes into therapy techniques that mostly involve the usage of common terms. Also, there are forms in which patients are required to use gestures in expressing thoughts, or exercises in grammar where patients will just use concrete nouns instead of adjectives and adverbs. Meanwhile, the most common yet simplest exercise involves speaking at a slow pace and asking patients to repeat words or motions, all of these are expected to improve the aphasia condition.

Neuroplasticity: Speech Rehabilitation

Yes, our brain can heal itself, this is called neuroplasticity. Our body utilizes this capacity when we encounter the causes listed above, the brain we have innately rewire itself by repairing pathways inside it. However, this happens slowly oftentimes, thus, we need a rehabilitation program where our pathologist combines different therapies to force our neuroplasticity to work in a faster manner.
