Auditory symptoms are an uncommon manifestation of stroke, as unilateral le-sions rarely cause significant hearing impairment. This report details a unique case of recurrent ischemic strokes in both temporal lobes of a 50-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a newly diagnosed antiphospholipid syn-drome (APS). The patient initially presented with mild bilateral "buzzing" for six months, which was initially disregarded. An acute deterioration in speech compre-hension and eventual pure word deafness followed a second ischemic event. Imaging revealed an old right temporal lobe infarct on brain CT and a new left temporal lobe infarct on MRI, explaining her profound auditory processing deficit. Laboratory studies confirmed APS, and she was treated with warfarin and intensified immuno-suppressive therapy. Despite management, her auditory comprehension remained severely impaired, necessitating lip-reading. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of subtle initial auditory symptoms and underscores the importance of a high clinical suspicion and advanced neuroimaging in patients with prothrombotic conditions like APS, where recurrence is a significant concern.
