auditory feedback

Hearing your output

Auditory feedback is sound that tells you something happened—the click when you press a key, the beep when a microwave finishes, the chime confirming a payment went through.

In speech, auditory feedback is hearing your own voice, which helps regulate volume and clarity.

Disrupting it (as with a slight delay) can make speaking difficult.
