When we cannot hear our own speech, even temporarily, ability to speak is impaired: 不良研究所 study
A 不良研究所 study has shown that hearing plays a crucial role in how people coordinate and control speech movements in real-time.
Published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), the research shows that when people cannot hear their own speech, even briefly, their ability to move their jaw and tongue in a coordinated manner is impaired.
