Auditory brainstem responses in dyslexia: comparison between acoustic click and verbal stimulus events.

Objectives: This study examined the use of auditory brainstem response (ABR) by classic clicks and verbal stimuli in young dyslexic adults to identify latency abnormalities.

Methods: Subjects included 10 dyslexic adults and 10 age-, sex-, IQ-, education-, and hearing sensitivity-matched normal subjects. Both groups had normal auditory status.
