Abstract
Background and Aim: Objective measurement is general and acoustic measurements in particular have become a substantial aspect of stuttering assessment during the last few decades. Measurements do not replace the perceptual judgment, but they allow a more precise diagnosis, provide more evidence for therapeutic interventions, and are useful as feedback for patients in therapy. The purpose of this investigation was to compare some adult male stutterers&apos and nonstutterers&apos acoustic features. Materials and Methods: Adult male stutterers and nonstutterers participated this case-control study. Their fluent reading of 20 sentences in Farsi, prolongation of vowels /a/ and /i/, and rhythmic counting from 1 to 20 were analyed with Dr. Speech software. Results: There were no significant differences between two groups in fundamental frequency (f0) and standard deviation of f0 in three speech samples (vowels /a/ and /i/, reading 20 sentences, and rhythmic counting from 1 to 20). No significant difference were between two groups for jitter and shimmer. Conclusion: Non significant differences between two groups are somewhat due to investigation of this parameters in fluent speech of stutterers and nonstutterers.
