Adaptation To Delayed Side-Tone

Abstract
Subjects read phrases 1st, with no delay in the sidetone and 2d, with delay in the sidetone of 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.21, 0.24, 0.27, or 0.30 seconds. The subject read phrases with a given sidetone delay for 300 sec. Phrases were read more loudly and slowly when any of the delays were present in the sidetone. There was no adaptation ( a return toward the normal sound pressure level and rate) demonstrated in the results. The suggestions are made that longer periods of reading, or other measures such as perspiring palms, breath control, voice quality, repetitions or mispronunciations might be employed as a basis upon which to judge adaptation to delayed sidetone.
