What happens when the brain can’t hear its own speech errors? In this episode of Speech Talk, Emily and Aoife explore the speech-auditory feedback loop and how it can be disrupted after left-hemisphere stroke. They unpack new research on error detection, automatic versus voluntary correction, and what these findings mean for aphasia therapy. Plus, practical strategies for helping patients build awareness, self-monitoring, and more successful communication.
