Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder, and may be associated with neuroaudiological factors linked to central auditory processing, including changes in auditory processing skills and temporal resolution. To characterize the temporal processing and long-latency auditory evoked potential in stutterers and to compare them with non-stutterers. The study included 41 right-handed subjects, aged 18-46 years, divided into two groups: stutterers (n=20) and non-stutters (n=21), compared according to age, education, and sex. All subjects were submitted to the duration pattern tests, random gap detection test, and long-latency auditory evoked potential. Individuals who stutter showed poorer performance on Duration Pattern and Random Gap Detection tests when compared with fluent individuals. In the long-latency auditory evoked potential, there was a difference in the latency of N2 and P3 components; stutterers had higher latency values. Stutterers have poor performance in temporal processing and higher latency values for N2 and P3 components.

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can result in hearing loss in babies, consequently, audiological monitoring is necessary.This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of hearing impairment in neonates and... 背景：寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 感染可导致婴儿听力损失, 因此, 听力检控是必要的。目的：本研究旨在评估宫内期间暴露于寨卡病毒的新生儿和儿童听力障碍的频率。材料和方法：在怀孕期间（2016 年 3 月至 2017 年 1 月）感染寨卡病毒的母亲所生的 30 名儿童在出生后 48 小时接受了反复的听力评估。 通用新生儿听力筛查显示所有儿童在 6 个月、13 个月、24 个月和36个月时结果正常。...
