Do Deaf People Hear Their Own Voice if They Speak?

A number of the Deaf respondents to the Quora question suggest that this is indeed the case. However, the age at which hearing loss happens is likely to be important in determining the modality of inner speech/sign. One participant who lost his hearing at age 2 says he thinks in words, but words without sound, while another individual with early hearing loss describes "hearing" a voice in dreams in the absence of signs or lip movements. Several studies have shed light on how individuals with hearing loss use inner sign. There is evidence that inner sign mediates short-term memory in signing individuals, just as inner speech mediates short-term remembering in hearing people. In a neuroimaging study, areas of the brain associated with inner speech were activated when signers thought to themselves in sign, suggesting a common neural pathway to thinking in language that is independent of the modality of that language.

Will a Deaf Person Have an Inner Voice?

It turns out, this varies somewhat from deaf person to deaf person, depending on their level of deafness and vocal training. Those who were born completely deaf and only learned sign language will, not surprisingly, think in sign language. What is surprising is those who were born completely deaf but learn to speak through vocal training will occasionally think not only in the particular sign language that they know, but also will sometimes think in the vocal language they learned, with their brains coming up with how the vocal language sounds. Primarily though, most completely deaf people think in sign language. Similar to how an “inner voice” of a hearing person is experienced in one’s own voice, a completely deaf person sees or, more aptly, feels themselves signing in their head as they “talk” in their heads.

In order to understand how language affects our thoughts, and how this affects the way that deaf people think, we must first understand the underlying nature of human thought. Humans generally think in strings of words, images, or a combination of both: Some people think primarily in words , meaning that their thoughts are dominated by words and narrations. Other people think primarily in images, meaning that their thoughts are dominated by images and pictures. The ability to hear words can influence whether someone thinks in words or pictures. Many people who are born deaf have never had the chance to hear spoken speech. This makes it very unlikely that they can also think using spoken speech. Instead, because the primary method for deaf people to process language is through visual forms of communication, they’re more likely to think in images. These images may be images and pictures of objects. Or, they may involve seeing word signs, such as in sign language, or seeing moving lips, such as with lip reading. This phenomenon of visually seeing signs and moving lips may also be intertwined with auditory thoughts (words) in people who were not born deaf. In this case, the thoughts of previously hearing people would be affected by how much language they learned and what their native language is, among other factors. One Deaf respondent to the Quora question states "I have a 'voice' in my head, but it is not sound based. I am a visual being, so in my head, I either see ASL signs, or pictures, or sometimes printed words." For this respondent, sound is not a feature of the experience.
