Introduction
The purpose of the study was to find what the prevalence and incidence of stuttering in the participants, what characteristics of stuttering the children who are hard of hearing, comparing the hearing, speech, and language abilities in children who stutter and children who do not, and the underlying differences of children who stutter and are at risk of persisting into adulthood versus children who have recovered (Arenas et. al., 2017). The study suggested that the prior study project had limitations to correct: lack of parental opinion of preschool stuttering, lack of clarification of what degree of hearing loss the children in the study had, and the lack of speech and language data to help identify the issues that would result in stuttering; this study attempted to correct these limitations (Arenas et. al., 2017).
Methods
Parents of children that are hard of hearing participated by completing a survey about their child’s speech fluency and hearing ability (Arenas et. al., 2017). There were 194 responses to the survey, resulting in a 64% return rate (Arenas et. al., 2017). The children in question were confirmed to have sensorineural hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and bilateral conductive hearing loss of 25 to 75dB (Arenas et. al., 2017).

al., 2017). There were ten participants who have children who still stutter, resulting in a prevalence rate of 5.15% (Arenas et. al., 2017). Both rates were higher than the rate for the general population; the general population shows the incident rate of 8% and a prevalence rate of 1.5% (Arenas et. al., 2017). The average age of discontinued stuttering habits was 4.59 years of age, and the average years spent stuttering was 1.52 years (Arenas et. al.,
