A condition in which a person cannot recognize, produce or enjoy music, despite otherwise normal hearing.
Amusia can appear from birth, in which case it is often called tone deafness, or it can develop suddenly after a stroke or brain injury that damages areas involved in processing sound. People with amusia may hear speech and everyday noises normally but struggle to tell one melody from another or to notice when a note is out of tune. Researchers use amusia to study how the brain separates music processing from general hearing and language.
