I'm an SLP (well, former SLP, current homeschooling mama) and I would guess he's suffering from Broca's aphasia, which originates in the frontal lobe, without question. That's why he's having so much trouble with word-finding. I'm not convinced he's having problems hearing so much as auditory processing, which would also indicate temporal lobe involvement. He should be focusing on rehabilitating with intensive speech therapy (the earlier the treatment the better the outcome) rather than hiding what's going on.
I’m not an SLP, however my mother had a major stroke in 2004 and has suffered from aphasia ever since. When I first saw Fetterman speak post stroke, I thought he sounds just like mom. I concur with the SLP. He should be getting speech therapy and group discussion sessions to help improve his obvious processing issue.
