Selected modifications of the auditory feedback system and their effects on speech fluency.

It has been accepted for some time that we continually monitor our own speech by listening to ourselves; indeed, the absence of this monitoring system is detrimental to our speech performance. In the congenitally deaf, acquiring the skill of speech is always very difficult and frequently impossible, even with the aid of modern sophisticated techniques. In cases of deafness following thorough acquisition of speech, the lack of self-monitoring results in continuously-degenerating speech performance over extended periods. There is clearly a close relationship between speech self-monitoring integrity and overall speech performance; therefore, we will examine the feedback configurations more closely.
