A member asked:
After a brain injury that causes someone to not be able to understand speech, is it possible for it to go away over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The difficulty in understanding speech is called receptive aphasia. This may improve over time depending on the extent and location of the injury. Rehabilitative therapy may help optimize recovery.
