The '''temporal lobes''' are two areas of the [[brain]] located above the [[ears]], near the temples (hence the name). Auditory information travels directly to the temporal lobes, making them the primary site where [[hearing]] is registered. Thus, damage to the temporal lobes can lead to severe auditory inhibition.

According to the Center for Neuro Skills:
Kolb & Wishaw (1990) have identified eight principle symptoms of temporal lobe damage: 1) disturbance of auditory sensation and perception, 2) disturbance of selective attention of auditory and visual input, 3) disorders of visual perception, 4) impaired organization and categorization of verbal material, 5) disturbance of language comprehension, 6) impaired long-term memory, 7) altered personality and affective behavior, 8) altered sexual behavior.<ref>http://www.neuroskills.com/tbi/btemporl.shtml</ref>
