The text:
Auditory communication is so unrewarding to him that he has not worn an aid for several years. His reading is at the 11 year old level, and it gives him pleasure, which television listening does not.
This case illustrates one of the fundamental principles in differential diagnosis: that peripheral hearing loss and central disorders are two separate entities but that they may both exist in the same individual. If tests for auditory acuity show reduced hearing , it is due to a true peripheral lesion, not to a central one. Brent's final diagnosis was "audtory verbal agnosia and visual agnosia for any rapid denotation movements" - all this in addition to a peripheral hearing loss. Each problem must be treated for its own needs, and the combination of problems should, in this case, have been identified sooner.

Whomsoever feels like doing it.
And yes I am a nerd, and the two closest books (and one journal volume) were audiology related. The next closest would then have been The Dictionary of Imaginary Places or Northern Lights
I suppose I'm doubly the nerd because I wrote the above reference without having to check how to write it according to APA format. Although I might be wrong about whether the place of publication or the publisher comes first... I always forget that ;)
