Auditory Feedback from Bone Conduction Improves Professors' Voices

What is it about?

This study compared the effects of bone conduction auditory feedback on two professors' voices. A total of 43 hours of voice recordings across 32 university classes were collected from two vocally healthy college professors through voice dosimetry. During their classes, the professors experienced either the real-time altered auditory feedback or a condition without altered auditory feedback. Across all participants, the use of the bone conduction–altered auditory feedback devices resulted in improved voice-related outcomes when compared to the condition with no feedback.

Why is it important?

This study provides evidence that altered auditory feedback provided via bone conduction through an altered auditory feedback device resulted in statistically significant improvements in the voices of two college professors.
