How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “Some people who are deaf either prelingually or from birth have reportedly had the experience of “hearing” voices in the absence of a speaker (e.g., du Feu & McKenna, 1999).”
The Representation of Agents in Auditory Verbal Hallucinations (2016, background): “A qualitative interview by du Feu and McKenna (1999) suggested that the voice hallucinations, even of those born profoundly deaf, had an auditory quality.”
The perceptual characteristics of voice-hallucinations in deaf people: insights into the nature of subvocal thought and sensory feedback loops. (2005, background): “However, greater proportions of visual and tactile/somatic hallucinations have been noted.(3,10,13)”
Exploring the perceptual characteristics of voice-hallucinations in deaf people (2007, background): “Several phenomenological studies have been convinced by the auditory quality of hallucinations in deaf people citing examples from qualitative interviews, where deaf people have reported ‘‘hearing’’ voices (e.g., Critchley et al., 1981; du Feu & McKenna, 1999).”
