Stuttering / Stammering - 18 years old

[Guest guest]

Dear Suleiman,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Stuttering is a speech disorder in which the normal

flow of speech is disrupted by frequent repetitions or

prolongations of speech sounds, syllables or words or

by an individual's inability to start a word. The

speech disruptions may be accompanied by rapid eye

blinks, tremors of the lips and/or jaw or other

struggle behaviors of the face or upper body that a

person who stutters may use in an attempt to speak.

Certain situations, such as speaking before a group of

people or talking on the telephone, tend to make

stuttering more severe, whereas other situations, such

as singing or speaking alone, often improve fluency.

 

Stuttering may also be referred to as stammering,

especially in England, and by a broader term,

disfluent speech. Stuttering is different from two

additional speech fluency disorders, cluttering,

characterized by a rapid, irregular speech and

spasmodic dysphonia, a voice disorder.

 

Speech is normally produced through a series of

precisely coordinated muscle movements involving

respiration (the breathing mechanism), phonation (the

voicing mechanism) and articulation (throat, palate,

tongue, lips and teeth). These muscle movements are

initiated, coordinated and controlled by the brain and

monitored through the senses of hearing and touch.

 

Before speaking, an individual takes a breath and the

vocal folds (or vocal cords), which are two bands of

muscular tissue located in the voice box directly

above the trachea or windpipe, must come together. The

air that is held in the lungs is gradually released,

passing through the gently closed vocal folds thus

causing vibration and producing the voice. The sound

of the voice is passed through the throat and is

directed into the mouth for most speech sounds, or

into the nose for nasal sounds such as " m, " " n " and

" ng. " The palate, tongue, jaw and lips move in precise

ways to modify the sounds in order to make speech

sounds.

 

It is estimated that over three million Americans

stutter. Stuttering affects individuals of all ages

but occurs most frequently in young children between

the ages of 2 and 6 who are developing language. Boys

are three times more likely to stutter than girls.

Most children, however, outgrow their stuttering, and

it is estimated that less than 1 percent of adults

stutter.

 

Many individuals who stutter have become successful in

careers that require public speaking. The list of

individuals includes Winston Churchill, actress

Marilyn Monroe, actors James Earl Jones, Bruce Willis

and Jimmy Stewart, and singers Carly Simon and Mel

Tillis, to name only a few.

 

Scientists suspect a variety of causes. There is

reason to believe that many forms of stuttering are

genetically determined. The precise mechanisms causing

stuttering are not understood.

 

The most common form of stuttering is thought to be

developmental, that is, it is occurring in children

who are in the process of developing speech and

language. This relaxed type of stuttering is felt to

occur when a child's speech and language abilities are

unable to meet his or her verbal demands. Stuttering

happens when the child searches for the correct word.

Developmental stuttering is usually outgrown.

 

Another common form of stuttering is neurogenic.

Neurogenic disorders arise from signal problems

between the brain and nerves or muscles. In neurogenic

stuttering, the brain is unable to coordinate

adequately the different components of the speech

mechanism. Neurogenic stuttering may also occur

following a stroke or other type of brain injury.

 

Other forms of stuttering are classified as

psychogenic or originating in the mind or mental

activity of the brain such as thought and reasoning.

Whereas at one time the major cause of stuttering was

thought to be psychogenic, this type of stuttering is

now known to account for only a minority of the

individuals who stutter. Although individuals who

stutter may develop emotional problems such as fear of

meeting new people or speaking on the telephone, these

problems often result from stuttering rather than

causing the stuttering. Psychogenic stuttering

occasionally occurs in individuals who have some types

of mental illness or individuals who have experienced

severe mental stress or anguish.

 

Scientists and clinicians have long known that

stuttering may run in families and that there is a

strong possibility that some forms of stuttering are,

in fact, hereditary. No gene or genes for stuttering,

however, have yet been found.
