.Tsung-Lun Alan Wan (萬宗綸), Claire Cowie, & I show that negative vs neutral affect for one's own deafness correlates with phonetic variation in vowel production (between when one's assistive hearing device is on or off). Implications for #clinical #audiology doi.org/10.1017/S00474…

Super happy this article is published in Language in Society 🎉 We argue "speech production with device-on/off" experiment should be understood locally, specially thru the lens of affect, to avoid a mechanistic view looking at the effect of hearing devices on speech production
