Two regions of interest were selected bilaterally for evaluation: the lateral lemniscus and inferior colliculus. A significant decrease was observed in FA on the contralateral side in patients with SNHL due to an increase in λII while λ· remained unchanged. Although the orientation of neural fibers along the subcortical auditory pathway appeared to be intact, the reduction in FA and increase in λ· on the contralateral side might be attributed to axonal loss and/or demyelination.
