This study investigated the effects of altered auditory feedback on stuttering frequency during speech production at two different speech rates. Nine stutterers, who exhibited at least 5% dysfluency during a reading task, served as subjects. They read eight different passages (each 300 syllables in length) while receiving four conditions of auditory feedback: nonaltered, masking, delayed, and frequency altered. For each auditory feedback condition, subjects read at both a normal and a fast rate…

Results showed that significant fluency enhancement occurred under DAF at both normal and fast speech rates at all DAF settings, corroborates the notion that a slowed rate of speech is not a necessary antecedent for fluency improvement under conditions of altered auditory feedback.

The results suggest that studies that use standard DAF and FAF settings for all participants are likely to underestimate any AAF effect and it is not yet possible to predict who will benefit from AAF devices in everyday situations and the extent of those benefits.

If the auditory feedback of a normal speaker is altered, speech control suffers and speech rate decreases and all types of speech error are made.

Findings suggest that temporal changes in speech production are related to the decrease in stuttering that occurs during noise and rhythmic stimulation.

The findings suggest that the algorithms currently used to prescribe hearing aid gain may underestimate the sensationlevel of a hearing-impaired individual's own amplified speech productions at frequencies below 1000 Hz and overestimate the sensation level of a talker's own speech above 2500 Hz.
