Abstract
A deaf woman learned to control her excessive vocal loudness through a port able feedback system, which provided vibratory stimulation when her voice w as too loud. The mean percentage of excessively loud talking decreased from 45 prior to the use of feedback to 3 during the use of feedback. This impr ovement (documented by formal observation) was confirmed by normally hearin g people sharing the work environment with the woman. The woman preferred a system with a contact microphone since this was virtually unaffected by en vironmental noise.
