The frequency-following response (FFR) to speech stimuli: A normative dataset in healthy newborns. Hear Res. 2018 Nov 09;371:28-39 Authors: Ribas-Prats T, Almeida L, Costa-Faidella J, Plana M, Corral MJ, Gómez-Roig MD, Escera C Abstract The Frequency-Following Response (FFR) is a neurophonic auditory evoked potential that reflects the efficient encoding of speech sounds and is disrupted in a range of speech and language disorders. This raises the possibility to use it as a potential biomarker for literacy impairment. However, reference values for comparison with the normal population are not yet established. The present study pursues the collection of a normative database depicting the standard variability of the newborn FFR. FFRs were recorded to /da/ and /ga/ sylla...
