    Disfluent normal speakers show poorer central auditory function compared to fluent speakers. This suggests auditory processing may influence speech disfluency, even outside of stuttering populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Speech Science

    Background:

    • Central auditory function is crucial for speech production.
    • Previous research has primarily linked auditory processing deficits to stuttering populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate central auditory function in normally speaking individuals with and without speech disfluencies.
    • To explore the relationship between central auditory processing and speech disfluency in non-stuttering populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Synthetic Sentence Identification - Ipsilateral Competing Message (SSI-ICM) test at a -20-dB message-to-competition ratio.
    • Compared 10 disfluent normal speakers (part-word repetitions) with 10 matched fluent normal speakers.
    • Ensured all subjects had intact peripheral hearing and no history of stuttering.

    Main Results:

    • Disfluent normal speakers scored significantly lower on the SSI-ICM test than fluent normal speakers.
    • This finding indicates reduced central auditory function in individuals with speech disfluencies.

    Conclusions:

    • Central auditory processing variables may contribute to the production of speech disfluencies at the syllable level.
    • The link between central auditory function and speech disfluency is not exclusive to clinical or stuttering populations.
