Why is it important?
This might be helpful for improving management approaches in adults with persistent developmental stuttering.
Perspectives
the ABR and MMN successfully estimate the brainstem and cortical auditory processing in patients with persistent developmental stuttering. Abnormal brainstem timing and/or cortical dysfunction could present in a subset of patients. In such a case, brainstem and cortical auditory processing abnormalities are proposed to be the underlying deficit in this group. Therefore, we suggest the need for future research that aims to study the effect of delayed auditory feedback and auditory training on the auditory processing capabilities of the stuttering population and hence on their speech fluency and whether the ABR and MMN could be used as tools to monitor the efficiency of auditory training programs.
