Question: can auditory processing disorder result from silent stroke and or profound hearing loss or is this a learning disability

I will need to go get the digital for upload from the hospital. This was discovered with imaging performed as a result of a fall down stairs 2/19/2016. CT Image Report: Findings: There is generalized cerebral volume loss with commensurate prominence of the ventricular system. There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage or extra-axial fluid collection. There is no apparent acute major vascular territory infaract. There is an old lacunar infarct of the right cerebellar hemisphere . No mass effect or midline shift. There is no acute calvarial abnormality. There is a mucus retention cyst of the left maxillary sinus.
Impression: No acute intracranial abnormality.

Ironically, the fall was the result of knee injury giving away. Our veterans Administration (VA) recently notified me that my disability compensation would
be reduced due to "improved hearing". I was told in 1968 that my bilateral hearing loss resulted from nerve damage and was permanent! Does "permanent" nerve damage improve? VA notified of this new discovery but VA has not pursued an opinion of a neurologist so I am suspicious of the reason for not doing so. Hence this is the reason I am investigating to determine if I should proceed with consultation.
Prior to my military service, I was considered a quality dancer which I happen top enjoy doing. While I do not have "fall down" balance issues I can not perform dance or Thai Chi exercises due to poor balance. I've been told this stroke may be the reason????
