Central auditory function was assessed in 10 stutterers and 10 nonstutterers. Performance of the two groups was compared for seven audiometric procedures including acoustic reflex threshold, acoustic reflex amplitude function, performance intensity function for monosyllabic phonetically balanced (PB) words, performance intensity function for Synthetic Sentence Identification, Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing Message, Synthetic Sentence Identification with Contralateral Competing Message, and the Staggered Spondaic Word test. Relative to the control group, the performance of the stuttering group was depressed on three procedures--the acoustic reflex amplitude function, Synthetic Identification with Ipsilateral Competing Message, and Staggered Spondaic Word test. As a group, the stutterers presented evidence of a central auditory deficiency. The pattern of test results suggests a disorder at the brainstem level. The subtlety of the deficiency is emphasized.
对10名口吃者和10名非口吃者的中枢听觉功能进行了评估。比较了两组在七种听力测试程序中的表现，包括听觉反射阈值、听觉反射幅度函数、单音节语音平衡（PB）词的言语强度函数、合成句子识别言语强度函数、同侧竞争信息下的合成句子识别、对侧竞争信息下的合成句子识别以及交错扬扬格词测试。相对于对照组，口吃组在三个程序中的表现较差——听觉反射幅度函数、同侧竞争信息下的合成识别以及交错扬扬格词测试。总体而言，口吃者表现出中枢听觉缺陷的证据。测试结果模式表明脑干水平存在障碍。强调了这种缺陷的细微之处。
