AIM: The purpose of this study was to monitor and stimulate the auditory development of an infant diagnosed with left temporal lobe schizencephaly. METHOD: From the fourth to the eleventh month after the infant's birth, monthly auditory stimulation was performed through musical instruments, pure modulated tone, noise, and speech. The child responses at the age of 4 months were then compared with its responses at the age of 11 months. RESULTS: The child displayed attention to all presented stimuli, bilaterally located the voice of the evaluator, and presented cochlea palpebral reflex at all ages. According to the parents, the child started to babble at 8 months and spoke his first words at 11 months. However, during the auditory monitoring period, the infant did not respond to simple orders at 10 and 11 months, and did not emit a single sound during the stimuli period. This may be related to the short contact period between the researcher and the child. CONCLUSION: The child's responses became more elaborate as its age increased, which characterizes an evolution in its responses. This may be the result of the maturing of the central auditory nervous system. However, there must be continuity in auditory and language stimuli because a lesion on the temporal lobe may damage a child's auditory processing and language development.
