Auditory sensory dysfunction is common in ADHD, but auditory research is scarce. The current study examined the auditory sensory issues in ADHD using auditory physiological responses. Both hyper- and hypo- auditory responses were more prominent in ADHD subjects than the healthy cohorts, suggesting different auditory phenotypes in ADHD.
