Types of Agnosia
Brain disorders classified as agnosia can be serious life problems. Many times, these injuries require substantial therapy to overcome.

The following types of agnosia may result from substantial brain injuries:

- Inability to separate music from unorganized noise
- Inability to create comprehensible language
- Inability to make sense of spoken language
- Inability to match a person’s face with their voice
