Impaired auditory gating is seen in a variety of neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD), dementia, and others. These disruptions are precognitiveandcan predispose to behavioral traits such as distractibility, anxiety, avoidance, or irritability. This is because the hierarchy of salience collapses when sensory gating is impaired. Every input, no matter how trivial, forces its way into awareness; everything is urgent, everything is foreground, everything is loud.
